Mallorca's south coast is a different island from the Tramuntana. The land is flat and open, crossed by straight roads between stone walls and almond trees, and it ends at high cliffs above the sea. Cap Blanc, with its lighthouse, is one of the best places to see them. The drop from the clifftop to the water is sheer.
This 31.6 km route is almost flat, with only 184 m of climbing and a high point of 145 m. The rises are long and gentle, mostly around 2%, and the biggest come in the middle of the ride, between 14 and 21 km. The rest of the route is open, steady and fast.
Atlas rates it easy, but easy roads have their own value. This is the route for long, steady efforts at a single power: sweet-spot blocks, tempo work, or an easy endurance ride where you just want to turn the pedals and watch the miles go by.
In Atlas Indoor you ride the real roads in 3D, with your smart trainer following every gentle rise. It is an excellent route for structured workouts, because the steady terrain lets you hit your targets without the road getting in the way.
How to ride Cap Blanc coast indoors
Pick a target power and hold it. The gentle rises between 14 and 21 km are your only real climbing, so shift down early and keep your cadence steady. Otherwise, this is a route for smooth, even effort.
