ADVENTURE GUIDE
We've worked with Ken Whelpdale at La Bici Adventures every time we've visited Mallorca for cycling. He works for USA Cycling, but lives in Mallorca. He creates custom packages tailoring the experience to the guests. He's booked the hotels, arranged bikes, arranged all transport (airport pickup/dropoff), luggage transfer to hotels, and route planning. We love working with him because he knows us and makes the trip smooth and memorable…and there are always new roads and climbs to explore!
