RCC Saturday [Rapha] 🔒

NOTE: This Ride is for RCC Members only! 🔒

Rapha Mallorca Saturday Social Ride – A Classic Weekend Group Ride 🚴‍♂️☕🌴

Saturday mornings in Palma are made for cycling, and the Rapha Mallorca Saturday Social Ride is a great way for RCC members to explore the island in a well-organised and welcoming group setting.

Starting from the Rapha Clubhouse in Palma, this weekly ride combines a steady intermediate pace with Mallorca’s legendary roads, creating the perfect balance between performance and social riding.

📍 Ride Details

• Meeting point: Rapha Mallorca, Palma
• Meeting time: 08:15
• Estimated return: around midday

Before the ride, RCC members can enjoy a complimentary coffee at the clubhouse ☕—the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow riders before rolling out.

🚴 Intermediate Pace, Social Spirit

The ride follows an intermediate pace, always adapted to the group rather than individual riders. Typical speeds are:

• 25–28 km/h on flat terrain ⚡
• 23–25 km/h in the mountains ⛰️

Climbs are ridden at each rider’s own rhythm, with regrouping at the summit to keep the group together. On rolling terrain, the regrouping takes place during the scheduled coffee or refuelling stop 🤝

Short breaks may also be made at supermarkets or petrol stations to refill bottles and grab a quick snack along the way.

🤝 Group Riding Comes First

The philosophy of Rapha Mallorca rides is simple: safety, comfort, and group cohesion always come first.

Participants are encouraged to join a ride that matches their fitness level, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience without slowing the group beyond its intended pace. The focus is on riding together while respecting both the route and fellow cyclists.

🛡️ RCC Members Only

This Saturday Social Ride is exclusive to members of the Rapha Cycling Club (RCC). All participants, including companions, must hold a valid RCC membership. RCC members are also insured during official Rapha Mallorca rides.

🌅 A Great Way to Start the Weekend

Whether heading towards the Tramuntana mountains or exploring Mallorca’s quieter inland roads, the Saturday Social Ride offers everything that makes cycling on the island so special: beautiful scenery, a supportive group atmosphere, and the chance to share memorable miles with fellow RCC members.

For those looking to enjoy a well-paced weekend ride with one of Mallorca’s most established cycling communities, this is a fantastic way to start the weekend 🚴‍♀️✨
