Had an amazing week cycling in Majorca and made some new friends thanks Stuart Hall for a great week we will be back next year ☀️🚴‍♀️

5 star time! Great guides – and they were even able to burn the candle at both ends!! Many thanks – hope to be back!

Hi Stuart,
Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our recent three day cycling trip. We stayed in the gorgeous Mar Senses Hotel, Puerto Pollensa. The cycling was brilliant and Andy Capper and Dave Maughan looked after us superbly as always.
It’s a great time of year to visit and it could become a regular trip
Looking forward to April.
Thanks,
Barbara

I just completed the Raid Pyrenees with Stuart Hall Cycling. This was Epic, with a capital ‘E’. Yes, no doubt, other tour companies can get you from Hendaye to Cerbere but not likely on the secondary roads, by-ways, lanes, and obscure Cols that only Stuart manages to discover. If you want a memorable adventure and an experience of a life-time, then, Stuart Hall’s Raid Pyrenees will deliver in spades. This is no easy ride; and requires one to be in peak aerobic condition, with legs of steel, a resolute mind, and a willing spirit. It’s just fabulous, and a worthy goal for any serious cyclist. It’s six days of concentrated effort; you’ll be tired, yes, but you won’t stop smiling.

Hi Jenny,
Just a quick note to say that we had a brilliant week with Stuart in Mallorca and really enjoyed the cycling. Please pass on our thanks to him and the team for making it such a positive experience. We will definitely be back!

Can I also say how happy we were with the upgrade to the Mar Senses hotel – what a lovely place! We thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Thanks very much!

Best regards,
Sue

Thank you Stuart Hall and Co for making my 4th time with you guys fab as always. I forgive you Stuart for tricking us into that 2nd climb on my last day 😂 will def make another booking soon. Wish I was still there 👍👍x

The Mallorca 312 sportive was an unforgettable experience. Stuart arranged an early morning breakfast for the 312 riders followed by a transfer right to the start line. This meant we didn’t need to hang about on a chilly morning and the event got off to the perfect start.

And what an event! Well-marshalled, great organisation and loads of cheering support along the way. The well-stocked food stops meant I arrived back with the energy bars I set out with still in my pockets and the standard of riding was perhaps the best I have experienced in any sportive. Riding through a world heritage centre on silky-smooth closed roads in cycling paradise. What’s not to like?

Well, admittedly there’s the monstrous distance – 194 miles and more than 5,000 metres of climbing – but thankfully latching onto a well-organised group helped get me over the line in a decent time and I didn’t have to make use of the out-of-hours hotel buffet Stuart had arranged for us in case of a late finish. Instead there was time for a short jaunt to the famous cyclist’s haunt Tolos, where the Garmin ticked over 200 miles and the draft Estrella provided the perfect recovery aid!

Cheers – here’s to the next one!

Stuart,

Just a note of thanks from our group of cyclists and non-cyclists for a beautiful few days at your cycling camp. For most it was the first taste of what is on offer in the way of cycling and relaxation in Majorca, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the routes. We were all really impressed with the Playa Mar, you have a terrific base there with great facilities and quietness when you need it!

Some are already planning for 2018.
Best wishes,
Mike

Hi Jenny, please can you send my best regards to Stuart and all his little helpers for my wonderful weeks cycling in Majorca two weeks ago. The weather was perfect and the routes were varied and spectacular. It was good to meet so many really nice people and will be looking to book another trip in the future. Best regards to all at Stuart hall cycling. Best regards, Andrew

Thanks Stuart Hall Cycling for a super bike and an absolutely brilliant week of cycling, definitely see you next year and maybe again in October if the duchess allows… Damien.

Just a quick note to say thanks for a great week’s cycling, bike was excellent, your rides and team leaders were all really great, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even if I still can’t climb to save myself. Please convey my thanks to Sam, Rob, Gary and John. Hope to see you in October, there are still a few rides I didn’t get to do.

From being picked up promptly at Palma for the transfer by Ivan, to the welcome at the hotel by Ev, the bikes all ready for us to pick up, then the choice of rides each day. Everything ran like clockwork, which is brilliant news for newbies like us!

Many thanks to Stuart Hall Cycling for making our first visit to Mallorca one to remember. We both enjoyed the variety of rides and benefitted from the wealth of knowledge that each ride leader has. Everyone was so friendly and efficient, so many thanks to Andy, Ben, Dave, Gary, Rob, Sam and of course Helen. (The names are alphabetical so no preference is shown! We also sincerely hope we haven’t missed anyone out as it isn’t intentional).

Sa Colobra and Orient are now ticked off my bucket list, expect us for a few more visits to complete the rest!

Hope to see you all very soon!

Just to thank you all at Stuart Hall Cycling for making my first time with yourselves cycling such a great time. The rides were good, and sociable, with some great cafe stops. I will be putting in a return visit in my diary for next year. Thanks.

I just wanted to say thank you for a great week. I didn’t do any of the group rides after I came off and bust my shoulder the week before I came out but I loved the fact that all the leaders were still asking how my rides were going, it really made me feel part of the bigger group. Garry even offered to check that I’d put my bike together again safely which was a welcome gesture! I thought advertising the rides the night before was brilliant and would definitely benefit me on future trips.

Amazing week of cycling with 370 miles done in 6 days. I also met so many lovely people. Home to real life tomorrow and many thanks to all at Stuart Hall cycling for the best week yet. Great cycles, great food and super great company. Thanks Stuart Hall – I will be back soon.

Thanks for bike loan and kit Stuart you all went out of your way to give a ride I was clearly not geared up for / it made my family holiday one to remember with your teams help – I will be out next year with my team & do the week with a bit of luck !!! 🚴🏻

Big thank you to Stuart and all his guides and helpers fantastic 10 days riding. Back to normal now cutting grass and cold winds. Andrew

What a week… big thanks to Stuart Hall, little Leg lil’ring Garry Cannondale and of course, Capt John Watson for smashing us up every Col and down each decent like a boss.

Highlight for me was Selva Gorge climb, pushing on down the decent from Sa Calabra into Pollenca trying to keep away from James McPherson, and those arm warmers.

Greeners & Darren was here… thanks Nomads. You all rock. Paul

We’re home now and already missing the sun, cycling and great company!
Thanks for a great week- a big thanks you to Stuart, the two Dave’s and Sam for all the great teaching and “encouragement” 😂🚴🏻☀️ See you in October!! Best get out into those Welsh hills and practice! 🚵 Jess

Stuart — Thanks again for a fabulous week of riding and relaxing in Port de Pollenca. I can’t stop thinking about my sunny warm days in Mallorca after I returned to the cold and snow in Maine. See you next March! Bob

Stuart Hall rocks – superb cycling – if you want to cycle in Mallorca then check out Stuart Hall Cycling

Long miles, winding roads, beautiful scenery, new friends, same great staff and wonderful spring training experience at Stuart Hall in Mallorca. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Hope we meet again next year! Kristi

Had a fantastic time in Mallorca with Stuart Hall and Stuart Hall Cycling. Thanks guys , we will definitely come back ! 😀👍🚴🏼🚴🚴‍♀️simon

Thanks Stuart Hall for an amazing few days cycling. Didn’t feel too broken after being out on a ride led by you! Really appreciated all the advice. Lovely to see the kids getting bigger too. See you next year, hopefully with even more Hervelos in tow

As an early birthday present my generous other half gifted me an amazing week cycling with Stuart Hall Cycling in Mallorca last week. Stuart had donated the week to a New Stepping Stones nursery fundraiser. All deserve a mention! I wanted to say that this was an amazing experience with excellent accommodation, food and some very lovely people. The cycling was beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting out on their bike for a few days especially if they are trying to get back some fitness after winter. Tom

Brilliant rides well organised oh and many thanks for tweeking my bike out Andy capper top bloke… Dave

Another super day at Stuart Hall Cycling. A big thank you to our guides Stuart & Helen.

Top week cycling with Stuart Hall Cycling. Some spectacular days in the mountains, great company and many miles done. Also a big thanks to Stuart Hall Cycling for the £100 sponsorship towards my Caudwell Children’s event. Steve

Thanks to all the team. We had a great time. Nick

Thanks Stuart & March Dream team for a great 9 days riding in sunny Pollenca!!! Awesome time as usual. Pete and Sarah

A big thank you to Stuart Hall and all his staff for a great time. Hope to get back soon. Guy, Isle of Mann, March 2017

Hi Stuart

What an excellent ride and company today,
Thoroughly enjoyed every mile, looking forward
To the rest of the week with you. 🙂
Richard

Thanks to all for a great week. Great team, great company and some great rides. Jim

Hi Stuart
Back home now, just wanted to say thanks for great service. In the past my husband has found transfers the most stressful as always seemed to have issues whoever we used. This is the second time we have used yourselves and we would now never use any other transfer service in Majorca. The ease of booking, reasonable cost and clear instructions for meeting were exceptional. We would both particularly like to praise the driver who picked us up for both transfers, he was professional, polite, prompt and very friendly and courteous-would appreciate if you pass this feedback onto him.
Thanks Again
Emma and Andy

Hi Stuart.
I am sat in the plane home with a smile on my face after another fantastic week.
Thanks to you, all those who lead rides and those behind the scenes.
Each year I come little things change. They are always for the better but the core elements remain intact. Your trips are low key, relaxed and always about riding bikes. You make me and the others I talk to feel valued.
The six months until I return will hopefully fly by.
Kind regards.
Jonathan

Stu, these boys are… a pleasure to be with!! It’s great you’ve found people of the same mindset as yourself.

Three days spent with the guys and other repeat clients, have made the short break invaluable. Professional, knowledgeable, and inclusive are words that spring to mind. In short Andy, Ben and Garry are top guys who know their riding, and go that “Extra Mile” to deliver a Fantastic, Memorable, Experience.

Thanks for another great time.
Cheers Chris

Hi Jenny,
I just returned from my trip to Majorca having had a great time there. This was the best of the three trips I have made with Stuart Hall and I found the new hotel (Playa Mar) a definite improvement.

Stu, just a quick thank you for another great time cycling in Mallorca. Things were super organised and the crew were friendly and helpful. Also, the rooms in new hotel were spacious and the food was first class. I really appreciate having a choice of rides each morning and also having an opportunity just to do my own thing, if the mood suits.

I think Mallorca is so great that I have offered my buddies a money back guarantee. If they don’t like cycling in Malloca, I’ll reimburse their expenses. Unfortunately, they all still work for a living and don’t have the time to get away on a cycling holiday. Still, I’m hopeful I’ll have some takers soon.

Harold

@SHallCycling Thanks to you and your team for a great couple of weeks in Majorca. Would recommend for anyone considering a trip out there.

Jenny,

Firstly can I thank you and Stuart for a fantastic 8 days in Majorca. The hotel was great as was the food and the organisation. It was a welcome improvement having the rides posted up the day before, allowing checking of maps and a more informed decision of which ride to go on and as usual the company and leaders were friendly and helpful. So all in all another great week – I’ll be back next year.

Dear Jenny
I would like to say a big thanks for the recent trip, another great experience. I will be highly recommending you and passing the details around to fellow club members. Hopefully more of us can join you again next year!

Hi

Just a quick note to thank you for a great cycling experience with Stuart Hall Cycling. I loved each of the 5 rides that I managed to do (unfortunately around work this time), and when the boss of the enterprise comes back for you on a ride and also changes your inner tube, you know you are on to a good thing. Excellent facilities and really nice staff at the Playa Mar, which makes for a superb base. Please don’t change the base for 2017 as my wife has agreed to come out next year.

It was certainly worth making the effort to get out to Mallorca following the cancellation of my original flights, and I subsequently produced the best time that I have ever done at my club’s sportive on Sunday.

Best wishes and good luck for the rest of your Spring season.

Hi Jenny, would just like to pass on my thanks to all of you at Stuart Hall Cycling for another thoroughly brilliant trip.

Just wish I could have stayed longer!

Fab week with Stuart Hall Cycling. I am back home in Ireland and sitting at the fire! Thanks to all the team for a great week’s cycling. Andratx to Pollenca was the highlight.

Dear Stuart

Thanks for another great holiday out with you and your team back in late March. Really appreciated by Catherine, myself and all the riders from our club.

Thanks again to the whole team for a fantastic week away, a great time was had and just the best riding.

Stuart, just like to say thanks once again for an amazing time in Mallorca. Beautiful place, great cycling and fantastic people. Your staff are exceptional and make the whole experience very enjoyable. Credit to them. I’ll definitely be back next Easter and maybe in October if I can swing it! Thanks again, Seona

Hi Stuart a big thank to you and all your staff for a lovely 10 days cycling. I will be seeing all again maybe later this year or early season next year.

Hi Stuart
Back home now 🙁
Just a quick note to thank you for a fantastic time. It exceeded my expectations. Fantastic rides, staff, company, accommodation, food, hire bike & transport…and good cycling weather too 🙂
I would love to come back (multiple times if only I could retire!)
Regards and thanks to all

Just returned home yesterday having spent 11 days at the Playa Mar, I would like to pass on my thanks to all for such an excellent time. First time with you in Majorca and it won’t be the last, a very special thanks to Emma, Ben, Dan, Lucy and yourself Stuart. Many thanks again.

Hi Stuart

Just a note to say how much I enjoyed my trip last week. Exactly what I wanted. Your guys did a great job with a small group managing to keep everyone satisfied. Will use you again in future for sure.

Hi Stuart,

Just a short note to say how impressed am I with your outfit. The guides were excellent, incredibly knowledgeable about all the backroads, the hotel was adequate and the food fine. The prompt and efficient attention to detail was remarkable, including setting up of the bike which required no further tweaks from the specs I sent through.

You’re doing a great job, many thanks for providing an excellent week of riding.
Warm regards,
Steve

What’s not to love about a trip to the Pyrenees to watch the Tour come through?

I’ve been to Mallorca with Stu several times over the last five years and had a good idea of what to expect from this holiday. Namely, a well organised trip with a group of like-minded individuals, all with a shared interest of all things bike.

We stayed in an authentic French country house on the Tour route from which we made our own forays into the Pyrenees and the cols that awaited us. In the end, we rode 6 of the Tour Pyrenean cols including the Col d’Aspin. If you’ve never experienced theTour caravan coming over the hill you haven’t lived!

Stu provides great and knowledgable guides that look after you on any of the rides you choose to take and at the end of the day you come home to good food and camaraderie at the wonderful base camp. Talk about gear ratios, past glories, or just nonsense, over a local beer or two.

Everything is looked after for you; flights, transfers,accommodation.

A great way to see, and ride, the Pyrenean stages of theTour.

The best week away cycling ever and such great value for money.

Hi Jenny, please pass on our thanks to Stuart Hall. Lawrence and I really enjoyed our trip to Mallorca and the bikes were fantastic. I didn’t have to alter mine at all, a perfect fit from the start! Will definitely use his bikes in the future. Looking forward to our next trip! Many thanks.

Big thank you Stuart to you and your team for looking after us all the way and ensuring we all made it to the end. A journey I’ll never forget!

I just wanted to say thank you again for the great trip I had training with you all in March 2015! On Sunday I raced at Ironman Wales and came first in my age group by over 2hrs which meant I qualified for the world championships next October! Look forward to coming out next year to train with you all for this.

Just a quick note to say thank you to you, Stuart, and all the team at SHC for a wonderful holiday last week. All 23 of us had a fantastic time. The hotel & food couldn’t be faulted, and we enjoyed the variety of organised rides throughout the week. We’d particularly like to thank Joanne, David and Jen who looked after us off the bikes all week and made sure everything was organised when we arrived and were leaving.

I am sending you an email to let you know how much I enjoyed my week in Majorca cycling with Stuart Hall. Cycling with Sam and Bryan’s group each day was brilliant and the guys really looked after me and were wonderful company/ambassadors for your business. The routes they took us, cafes we stopped in and care they took to ensure our safety/enjoyment of the rides each day was great.

I really appreciated the small groups we cycled in over the island and the local knowledge of routes etc was brilliant. On my last day they even changed the route plan so that I could achieve another climb ride which the steady group don’t usually do. The rental bike I had was excellent as well. Have been telling all my friends what a great time we had – down to the friendliness of the airport transfer and everything.

Top marks Stuart Hall.

Had a great week over Easter in Majorca with all the gang. There were 10 in total and have all promised to come back again. Just like to say thanks to all the crew especially Andy and Jo who I spent most of the days cycling with but others were also complimentary about their respective guides!

Just want to thank you and Stuart for a super trip yet again, they get better each year. You were so helpful with dealing with all the details and I’d like to pay a special thank you to Jo as she was brilliant filling in for Stuart. She could not be more helpful, friendly and great fun. I’d also like to thank David and his wife for same as they could not be faulted for anything and our Dermot was well impressed by David’s wife (sorry I never got her name) for getting up at 4 am to make sure he got picked up for the airport. And I’d like to thank Sean for sorting us all out with the bikes and doing a super job, really nice guy cheers. And not forgetting the guides Matt and G and of course both Jacks and anyone I forgot to thank… Jenny if you could pass this on to all above from me

Just wanted to say this trip was a baptism of fire for me as I only took up the cycling thing in February, that said it was a fantastic holiday and I had brilliant time whilst learning many new things about group riding and hill climbing. I definitely have the bug, thank you for a great time, especially to Sam (catweazel) who made me feel welcome and gave me confidence.

I just wanted to say a big thank you from all of us at Berwick Wheelers who stayed with your team last week. The hotel, the staff and support we received during our stay was excellent, in fact it was superb, please pass on our gratitude to the on site team, they really were that good!

We very much hope to reacquaint ourselves with Stuart Hall cycling in Mallorca next year and hope you will keep us informed of any early bird offers etc.

Thank you very much for an amazing week in Mallorca. The cycling was brilliant, we felt challenged and your planning was excellent. Needless to say, we will be back next year.

Just a few words to say a big thank you for the 9 days, probably the best 9 days concurrent cycling I have ever done. The weather helped, the company certainly did, and the roads and routes were superb.

A word of thanks for the friendly atmosphere you allowed us to be part of. We won’t forget that fantastic run using those cycle roads all the way from Pollenca to Palma airport. Looking forward to booking with you next year.

Thanks for organising my cycling trip – great people, company, location, scenery & more importantly lots of miles on the bike.

A big thanks to you and Martin Bush for a great race. You have stepped into some big shoes organizing this race. But lads you deserve all the best compliments.

Just a short email to say a big thanks for a great week in the Mallorca, sorry we took the weather back to the UK :). The transfers were bang on, the Pollenca Park as good as ever and nice to have all the reservations made for us. Our stats for the week were 528 miles and just over 9,000 metres of ascent.

Graeme and myself are definitely coming next year we hope to bring a bigger group with us this time.

Just a thank you for a fantastic week last week. Had a great time with a great bunch and will be coming back for more in March.

Great ride! Thanks so Much! We will Be back!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you, again, for a wonderful week in Mallorca. I felt so strong and fit by the time I came home and I’m so, so grateful for all the advice/tips/hints/coaching that you gave me while we were riding.

Stuart, thanks for a great week. Looking forward to next year.

Hi Stu – I just wanted to say thanks again to you, Jack and Mark for such a great holiday. Andy and I had a blast – everything was organised like clockwork and the cycling was fantastic. I am sure we will come again :).

Just a quick thank you for your very efficient service and can you pass our thanks on to Stu & Rhys. Hopefully see you next year with a few more lads.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks very much for a fantastic week of riding, and for the help and advice from you and your guys. Since you were all so indulgent, thought you might like to know that the training and the advice both really helped me out in my race yesterday – in particular, I kept in mind everything you told me about getting up hills (each time I went up the nasty little hill) and tried out some advice Rhys gave me about moving the bike around more when I’m out of the saddle. Anyway, it all must have helped because I came third in the all cats race 🙂

Stuart, thanks for an excellent trip! Great experience! Great bunch of guys to ride with.

Hi, just a quick note to say thanks for a great trip. Good hotel, transfers went well, great riding. Please thank Jack and Sam for showing us the island!

I didn’t get to see Stuart or the Phils before I left so can you thank them for their advice and help. I enjoyed the trip and hope to return in the future.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to you and Stuart for an excellent trip. Everything went very smoothly, the hospitality was superb and finishing the ride was extremely satisfying. We’re already thinking about doing it again next year (I think there must be something wrong with us…) so please keep us up to date with entry info for 2014.

I hope your Tour watching trip is going well. Huge thanks for a great trip the other week – both Ian and I really enjoyed it. So much so, that I am thinking of coming back out to the Alps in late August to do the Les Deux Alps version (TT and Granfondo on 24/25th).

Just wanted to say thanks for a great holiday, the cycling was as good as you said it would be and the choice of hotel was brilliant. Sandra would also like to say a big thanks for looking after her, the whole trip met her expectations and more, especially the banter.

We would like to say thanks a million for a fabulous week in Majorca, the whole trip was spectacular, the transfers worked well, the hotel was lovely, the buffets were bountiful, your team of riders were funny, supportive and impressively fit.

It’s sad being back to the cold sun-restricted hours which limit cycle time, without the coffee, orange and almond cake stops.

We hope you are all keeping well; you have given us many happy memories and opened our eyes to a new future for cycle training.

Best wishes and happy riding til the next time!
