Testimonials

Have to say I am unbelievably impressed with your response to all this, and a lot of other travel companies could learn a lot from you. This type of thing is not forgotten when things get back to normal.

Thanks
Martin

Hi Jenny
Thanks, excellent service. I have no qualms about using your firm again in the future!
Paul

Thanks Jenny

You most certainly will [see us in Mallorca in the future]. So very impressed with your company. Will recommend to anyone. Good luck and hope all work out well 😊 Nick

Thank you so much, you are obviously a very classy operation.

Rob

Hi Stuart, l would like to send on a big thanks from all the lads for all your help in getting our money back. We are so disappointed that our trip had to be cancelled as we were all training so hard for it and we were all looking forward to it. We all hope that we can arrange another trip in the future and hopefully we can get a few more to tag along. One thing that we are all agreeing on is that when we do arrange another date that suits us all we will definitely be booking it with you.

We would like to wish you all the best in these difficult times and hopefully when these restrictions are lifted you will be back bigger and stronger than ever before.

Go luck and thanks again
Adrian

Hi Jenny

Many thanks for refund. I appreciate that this must be a difficult time for the company and I’ve read that other companies haven’t been as understanding as you. Brian

Hi Stuart

Just a note to confirm I received my full refund into my account recently.

Many thanks for your attention and excellent customer service. It is a credit to your organisation in what must be extremely difficult times for a business such as yours.

I sincerely look forward to booking with you again for Spring 2021.

Until then, stay safe and well.

Kindest regards

Niall

Stuart,

I think I speak for all of our group when I say thank you very much for your quick response in refunding the payments.
We look forward to better days ahead when with certainty we can look at re-booking with you. I’d like to think that this will be in the autumn, however only time will tell.

Thanks again,

Mike

I hope you are all OK. There will be a time when we can venture abroad again and yours will be the first company I turn to. If you
have a mailing list please feel free to add me.
Martin

Thank you so much for refunding my holiday credit, it was a very kind and honest gesture. I look forward to booking many more wonderful holidays with you amazing people.

Best wishes,

Elizabeth

It was wonderful of you to refund for our trip in April so promptly. Many thanks. Hopefully we will get to re book again. Always love your cycle holidays. Wishing you all the best.
Regards

Nora

Hi Stuart

Just to say thanks for sorting out the refunds for me and my group of gentlemen cyclists!

It is good of you to do this in these difficult times – and it will very much enhance your reputation

We were entered into a Birmingham – Cov veto event and paid c55 each – they cancelled and did not refund a penny! Never book with them again!

We look forward to signing up again with you very soon

With kind regards

Mark

Hi Stuart,

I echo Mark’s thoughts. Very well played in difficult times and we look forward to many more trips with you in future.

Kind regards,
Wayne

Hi Jenny and Stuart
I appreciate that it is difficult for everyone at the moment so I’m grateful for the refund.
Rest assured , when I next look at a cycling holiday, I will be in touch.
Kind regards
Ken

Dear Jenny

Thanks you very much for your recent emails, I have been very impressed with your proactive and balanced approach to this whole crisis. I will definitely look to book with you in the future, but for my current booking I would like an Option 5 refund to my Credit Card
Ian

Hi Stuart and Jenny,

I just wanted to say thank you for the refund for our cancelled trip to Mallorca. We have been trying to recover the monies via our insurance policies but have been experiencing a negative response. We are, therefore, very appreciative of your understanding despite the obvious financial implications for your company. Your cycle holidays are a unique experience and will be welcome change from the isolation that we are currently experiencing once a vaccine or a viable means of managing the virus have been found.

I wish you well and sincerely hope that some time in the future we will be able join you in Mallorca.

Kind Regards

David

Hi Jenny

Thanks for your communication which has been excellent all along. It’s such a shame as this would have been my third spring training camp with you.

At the moment my wife and I are not sure of our availability in September or October, so could we have a refund please?

If we are free to book in the autumn then we’ll do it nearer the time. Rest assured it will be with Stuart Hall Cycling.

I wish your company all the best at this difficult time.

Best regards

David

Dear Jenny
Thank you for the update. I’m sure this is a difficult time for you all . I do hope you are able to weather the storm. Cycling in Mallorca with Stuart has been my little bit of heaven for the last 5 years or so . I still have fingers crossed that my trip will go ahead on 25th April but if it doesn’t we will of course be happy to transfer to another date. Thank you to Stuart and the team,let’s hope it’s only a 2 week shut down
Kind regards
Elizabeth and Paul

Hi Jenny
Thanks for the update in what must be really challenging times for Stuart Hall Cycling.
I have been privileged to be a customer of Stuart Hall cycling holidays over quite a number of years now, and I just wanted to let you know that I would like to continue to support the future of the business in whatever way I can.
Best wishes
David

Thank you so much Jenny, you have been fantastic at keeping us all up to date and informed. I hope you guys are doing ok and holding up, truly extraordinary times.

Best regards,

John

Hi,
Hope you are all keeping safe!
I would like to thank you for the refund which I have now received and look forward to seeing you in mallorca at some point in the future when this situation sorts itself out.
Stay safe,
Regards,
Mike

Refund fully received now. Thank you so much for sorting all of this out so quickly. Once the world returns to normality I’ll get booked back in

Thanks again,
Annaliese

Like your message. Good for you. The kindness and consideration to your customers now will be repaid in loyalty.

A great email, Stuart. Thank you.

I have never met you nor been to any part of Spain. This was painful. I think you reflect the best of mankind and I will get there one day.
Danny

Dear Stuart.

So sorry that you, a fair minded guy, have been so affected by this terrible virus. Who could ever had imagined the terrible death and economic damage this is causing. Just hoping that coming into the summer the virus will subdue in its potency.

Life sometimes can be so unfair and I am just hoping that Helen and yourself can turn this around.

Take care and best of luck.

Peter

Stuart

I was booked to come over with Phoenix CC from Belfast. I was looking forward to the trip as this would have been my first time over. I just wanted to thank you for the recent refund payment in light of the Coronavirus. This isn’t an easy time for anyone.

Thanks again and I will be in touch.

Paul

Jenny,
Many thanks for this, which is really appreciated. I can assure you that I will definitely be back in Majorca with you as soon as possible. It’s what’s keeping me going at the moment! (well that and vast quantities of chocolate!)
Give my love and thanks to Stuart, Helen and the kids,
Hope to see you before too long,
Cath

Thanks Stuart,
Very much appreciated.
We’ll be back once this is over!
Peter

Hi Stuart

Thank’s for that – much appreciated.

Let’s hope we can enjoy everything again, when this is all over.

Take care

Helen

Hi Stuart

Thanks for the quick response, especially in this difficult period.

I’m looking forward to being with you in Majorca when this pandemic is over. In the meantime best wishes to you and your family and your colleagues.

Stay safe – kind regards

Mike

Thanks Stu, appreciate it!
You will definitely see me when this is all over, can’t wait for a good old cycling holiday with great people!!

Thanks so much,
Wishing you and the family good health and safety.

Ingrid

Hi Helen,

I will definitely be back.

Thanks you for the refund,
Greatly appreciated.

Hopefully we will get to Majorca in the near future.

Hope everyone is well and safe.

Hi Helen,
Many thanks for the swift turn-around with the refund.
Once we have some certainty with regard to travel and holiday availability I will rebook with Stuart Hall.
Regards And Stay Safe
Norman

I wish you and all at SHC a successful return to a profitable and enjoyable future. Mallorca is a great gig and all of us want to return ASAP.

Best regards

Noel

Hi Jenny

We were on the Spring Break in Majorca with Stuart Hall Cycling, when everything changed and lockdown began.

We hope everyone is managing in these tricky times, we would also like to thank you for a fabulous holiday and all of your help in managing our last days in difficult moments with flight cancellations.

Please find attached some marvellous memories, which shows the holiday is not just about cycling.

When we start looking towards normal again, although we are uncertain what normal will be ? We do hope we can come back to Majorca with Stuart Hall Cycling.

Kind Regards and Stay Safe

Sally

Jenny,

A note to wish You All in the Stuart Hall Team well and for a return soon to doing what you do best !

We had a super cycling holiday Compliments to your Excellent Staff.

The food and accommodation in the Playa Mar were also exemplary.

The memories and great exercise sustain us during these strange times.

We both look forward to returning to Mallorca and to cycling with the Stuart Hall Team again in the not too distant future.

In the meantime.

Our Best Wishes and Good Health to You All.

Just back from Majorca on the Stuart Hall training camp. Over 1000kms in 10 days. Some really fast rides thanks to Ribble Junior squad, great bunch of lads.
Thanks to rides leaders Simon,Ed,Ben ,Aaron and Stuart himself. Great weather,hotel, food and roads.

TRAINING CAMP 2020 – Cancellation and delays but the quality of the riding, good company and weather makes it all worthwhile…..

Our excellent very accommodating in the circumstances (and entertaining) host was Stuart Hall Cycling. Thank you Stuart and your excellent team.

Hope to see you and enjoy you again next year Majorca. Now let’s get on with the racing……

Team vision innovative leisure

Had a class week in Mallorca getting a solid block of training done, a whole new world to me 👌👌
Thanks to Stuart Hall and others for leading rides etc, top class 👏👍

Dear Stuart

Many thanks to you and the team for the January training camp. I really enjoyed the week. Not only did we get the miles in but I learnt loads amongst a supportive and friendly group. I’m very much looking forward to being back with you in April.

All the best

Farhan

Good specced bikes in tip top condition. Hotel chosen was excellent and food amazing. Slick operation lots of repeat customers

Thanks Stuart for yet another great holiday. Lovely hotel with great food. The bikes were excellent and the weather fantastic. Your leaders/mechanics were very friendly and helpful. See you in the spring.

Hi Stuart,

Just wanted to send you a quick note of gratitude for a great weeks holidays last week. We had an excellent week last week which was enhanced by the great organization and people of Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays.
As an employer myself I know the importance of having great people representing you and you have a great team. I particularly want to thank John who is an absolute gentleman and a great ambassador to have, I really enjoyed his company even at night when he wasn’t on company time. He made time every night to have a chat, his knowledge of bikes and cycling is second to none. He also went beyond the call of duty in the help & guidance he gave us when purchasing our new bikes last Thursday. I bought a bike that is perfect for me and I will enjoy cycling it for years to come thanks to the help of John.
I wish you and your team every success in the future and am looking forward to returning to Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays for another great week in Spring 2020.

Thanks again, kind regards,

Had a fab time in Mallorca in October. Great rides, out of the comfort zone, though really supportive team. Will be back in May.

My husband, Jason and myself had a great trip with you this October. Our third time over and each time gets better.

The rides were brilliant, offering a great mixture of flats and mountains. We also enjoyed some longer rides being put in the mix, both participating in the 100miler. Although, you always have to account for Bens added 10% making it up to 114! Very enjoyable day!!
All the leaders were very approachable, with Wayne making lots of our rides great fun and accommodating, enjoying a few chain gang efforts!

It was our first time too booking on to the Andratx trip and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Stunning ride with breath taking views and great company! One we will definitely do again. It may of even temped us to take part in the 312 next year?
I have attached some photos for your gallery to choose if you’d like.

We look forward to booking our next visit next year!
Many thanks
Ros

I had a great time thanks.. I booked as part of the Croston Vélo Cycling Club having been encouraged to come out by my friend and ski colleague Carl.

I’m kicking myself that I never came out before. The hotel, food, location and company are all fantastic, and the cycling routes and Ride Leaders are all brill too.

We road the iconic climbs and raced around the lanes. It’s going to be 2 weeks next time, without doubt, so I get a rest day in the middle!

Cheers and I’m already looking forward to the next camp.

Thanks as ever for an awesome trip and some great cycling 👍

6 days , 420 miles and 20,000 ft climbing. Another fantastic cycling week. Thanks Stuart Hall and team.

Thanks for a great time , I enjoyed it so much I forgot to go home!
I’ll definitely be back .
Roy

We just finished two weeks there with SHC. Best vacation we’ve ever had. Dave

Good Evening Jenny

You said in your last email that you hoped I would have a great time. I can confirm it was an excellent week. Thank you very much and please pass on my thanks to all involved at Stuart Hall Travel and at the Playa Mar Hotel.

Heading home tomorrow after 10 super days of cycling & sipping in Mallorca with #stuarthallcycling & crew! Its been an awesome trip with terrific riding, wining & hanging with great peeps in gorgeous sunshine! I’m already looking forward to returning in spring.

Just got back home…..wet, windy and cold!!
Had a great time as ever. The weather was fantastic, great rides and great to see friends old and new. See you all next time, Nigel and Wendy

The riding was incredible, I’ll be back with you next autumn.

The hotel was good,the food was exceptional for a 4 star.

The ride leaders were fantastic – special mention for Sue, she was so supportive and considered and she was great fun. Dave was incredible, I really enjoyed his experience and company. And young Aaron was full of beans, it was nice to have him around, we had some fun too, racing on the way home. I loved the meet and greet lady, sorry, I didn’t catch her name, but she was delightful. Finally, Ben (I think that was his name?) he seemed to be in charge. He went out of his way to take on our route requests and the one day I rode with him, he was great company.

Thanks Stuart. We’ve had a fab few days and will definitely be back! Great people, great rides and lots of fun.

Hi Helen and Stuart
We have just really enjoyed a very relaxing week in Mallorca at the Mar Senses. The cycling has been great and all the guides have done a terrific job (nice relaxed rides, good food stops and good fun). My wife wants to come back again (same time, same place), so Stuart Hall Cycling certainly gets a 10 out of 10 in my feedback!

Can I compliment your organisation, my entire trip was fabulous from all sides. Ben, Aaron, Sue and Dave were superbly supportive friendly and a joy to spend time with on and off the roads.

Thank you. I’ve had an incredible week. I’ll be back. Kudos to Sue. She’s been wonderful 😊

Hi Stuart,

Just to say what a fantastic trip that was. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say that the guides and support staff were excellent and I could not fault anything with their organisation, planning and support.

I took part on the Raid Pyrenees 2019 and thought the staff, Ivan & Ian in the vans and Ed & Dave on the bikes were first class friendly and helpful, brilliant. The course was tough but doable with some epic climbs and backup was always at hand helping riders with various problems which was so nice to know at different times in the ride.

Hi Stuart,

After a memorable week completing the Raid, I have to say I was highly impressed with the service.

Starting with your staff, the professionalism, support and ability to manage a group with varied ability was excellent. Ed and Dave were fantastic guides and top blokes. Ian and Ivan provided great support throughout the week.

The hotels were all clean and comfortable throughout the week, and I felt great value for the overall price of the trip.

In terms of food, I would have like to have liked a bit more variety for dinner. I think we had pork and pasta for three consecutive evenings for example. In the mornings, it would have been nice to have some oats/porridge to get us prepped for the day. I love pastries (especially when in France) but it’s not the best fuel for the day. Lunch was fine.

The route was spectacular and clearly eclipses the official raid route. The only suggestion I would make is regarding the final climb of day 1. It was absolutely savage and put the fear of god into the entire group for the week ahead. We all love a challenge but I think a lot of people burned far too many matches on that climb and was one for many to forget rather then celebrate as an achievement. If you can find another way around that miserable thing, I’m sure many wouldn’t be too disappointed.

Overall – brilliant value, top craic and thoroughly enjoyed the week with Stuart Hall. Would definitely use you guys again.

Cheers

Mike

Hi Stuart great trip with the right level of difficulty hotels and food good with no complaints from me. Ian David and Ed were superb leaders along with Ivan they went that extra mile to make it a most memorable week, having done this raid before the route ridden by us far exceeded my last experience so once again thanks and we’ll done to all. All being well see you in April.

Stuart Hall had a fantastic weekend and a big thanks to Ian Turner for his support.

A big thanks to Ian and Stuart for organising and delivering such a fantastic week of cycling in the Alpes. Thanks also to Andy, Merv and Shane for your patience and good spirit, waiting at the top of each big climb. I really enjoyed the Raid Pyrenees, but have been blown away by the beauty of the different scenery of the Alpes, as well as the challenge of simply getting through each day. Great company, superb and varied overnight stops just leaves me wanting more! What’s next up? Best wishes to you all. David

We have just completed a Marlow to Champagne cycle ride organised by the team at Stuart Hall Cycling and it was brilliant! The team were really supportive and very well organised, the entire trip went incredibly smoothly. As a team of mostly novice cyclists we needed as much motivation as possible and they definitely helped with that. Thank you so much for everything, this was a great way of team building for us and I am sure will be talked about for years to come.

What a great day. Top support from Stuart in the air conditioned car! Also Ed the young lad on the bike herding us up. Cheers. Doug

Thank you for an AWESOME cycling & sipping Dolomites holiday! Each day’s routes led us through spectacular surrounding with incredible challenging climbs that made the apres’ cycling wine taste simply delicious! Helen, Ed & Dan were fantastic hosts/guides. And, the hotel in Cortina was the perfect home base with friendly staff and terrific food. Cheers to another super fun SHC detox to retox cycling adventure! Stefani

The following are some excerpts of a (long!) club write-up done after our 2019 Dolomites trip:

In late June, three of our club embarked on a once in a lifetime trip to the Italian Dolomites with Stuart Hall Cycling for a week of pleasure and pain amidst the most breath-taking landscape anywhere in Europe. […]

Day 3 the day I’d been waiting for – the Sella Ronda. Six climbs and some of the most gorgeous scenery in Europe. It started with the ubiquitous Falzarego, followed by the Passo Pordoi – a long and beautiful climb to a high col surrounded by ski lifts and cable cars. But these were just the appetizers. After a bit of lunch and lots of espresso, the Passo Sella and Passo Gardena were beyond beautiful and having the roads pretty much to ourselves made it all the more memorable. You sometimes just have to stop and drink it all in, and take photos of course. These moments are what the memories are made of – I could have stayed here all week and just stared. […]

So, how do I summarise our week in the Dolomites? Well, it was a week that I will never forget and I’m sure my friends will agree. The company was great and the spectacle was everything we could have imagined, if not more. I, for one, have vowed that I will return there one day. If any of you are inspired to follow in our footsteps, do so without hesitation. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

I knew I was going to love my time in the Dolomites, but what I didn’t expect was to actually fall in love with the Dolomites. Think, falling in love with the 70’s Sophie Loren, for those old enough to remember, so as you can imagine all I can think about is rekindling that memorable romance with those majestic peaks, that glorious food, those wonderful people.

Just to say thank you for a brilliant trip to the Dolomites! stunning scenery , incredible riding, hotel & food & of course great company. Special thanks to Helen,Dan & Ed for looking after us all so well & for organising a wonderful week of weather! Can‘t wait to do it again ( when I’ve recovered!)

Hi there,

Thank you for such an amazing cycling experience in the Dolomites. I can’t praise it enough. Helen, Dan and Ed were excellent – friendly, well organised, helpful and v. efficient. The Hotel Bellaria was superb. Lorenzo & his team were so hospitable; the food was incredible – really good cycling fayre. We were even treated to pizza, pastries, sandwiches when we arrived back from our tough rides – a lovely touch. We were lucky with such fantastic hot sunny weather & the scenery was absolutely stunning. Cortina was a great town to be based in.

I would really recommend this cycling experience; the cycling was certainly tough especially in those soaring temperatures but well worth it for the views and the great descending. I would definitely recommend a 32 rear cassette and some pre-knowledge about the traffic (some quite fast motorcycles, sports cars and lots of coaches)

Thanks once again.

Just wanted to say that I had a really good couple of days. Lost a day with rain so made sure the all inclusive bar was working well had a great ride with the guys on the Orient 80 miles! We a great steady pace as I’m not fast by any means and was a bit worried I wouldn’t keep up but no problem. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to go again! Lush hotel and food. Great friendly people super bikes and location. Karen

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for last week. It was my first cycling holiday didn’t know what to expect.

Had a brilliant time and really well looked after by all the support crew and riders Ed, Ben, Wayne, Dan, Arran and Helen.

Already looking forward to getting out again next year, although talk on the group whattsapp is a trip in October.

Hopefully those that joined us in the rustic café on Friday night weren’t too hungover!

Just returned from a 3 day stint in Mallorca with Stuart Hall and got to say everything was 1st class, hotel, location, weather and the cycling, special shout out to Martin Carter for bringing up the rear on Sam’s magical mystery tours. Michael

Thanks for all your hard work and for all the leaders who led us out on some stunning rides and looked after us so well. I thoroughly enjoyed the bike rides and superb location of the hotel which meant rides covered a variety of scenery. The food was great with choices to suit everyone and the accommodation was very comfortable.

It was my second time with Stuart Hall in Mallorca and I would highly recommend his organisation and friendly accommodating approach with rides to suit everyone. My non cycling companion also had a great week.

Hi Jenny and Stuart,
I just wanted to say on behalf of Mark, Lincoln, the group and myself a big thank you for an amazing week’s cycling. We had a brilliant week, even if the weather was a bit windy for the last 2 days!

Thank you to Dave, he was a great asset and understood the intricacies of our group and how they approach their rides. Dave was very complimentary towards our guys and how they have grown in confidence since last year. Stef was lovely and she got us very quickly! It was great to see her beat the boys on a managed hill climb!😂

Majorca,I think has become a permanent fixture on our calendar! Thank you for offering us the ‘all inclusive’ option that worked very well and I think that it proved very cost effective! The hotel was as good as last year as was the food!

The hire bikes were excellent. Thank you very much for giving the guys Dream bikes. Ben J especially enjoyed riding his and how it enhanced his cycling. Thank you also for repairing Stefan’s mid week and for helping making Leanne’s cycling a little easier by adjusting her gearing.
The transfers to and from the airport were excellent this year with plenty of space for us and a great trailer for the bikes – thank you.

As I say another fantastic week was had by everyone and we look forward to challenging ourselves again in 2020.

I had a fantastic trip and honestly I couldn’t fault anything. The 2 ride leaders – Ed and Martin were excellent please pass my compliments onto them also. I will definitely be coming back.

Morning Jenny

Just a quick email to thank all of the Stuart Hall team for a fantastic week at Playa Mar. The 26 of us from Fareham Wheelers had a very enjoyable time and for those of us for whom it was a first visit, were hugely impressed. We could not fault the Hotel with the accommodation and food of excellent quality and quantity.

The variety of rides each day helped us plan our itinerary from the tough days of Sa Calobra and Andratx to the flatter rides of Algaidia and Montuiri. Andratx for me was one of the best day’s cycling that I have ever experienced. We are very grateful to the Stuart Hall team for guiding us each day and for making the week so enjoyable.

We are hopeful of being back again next year.

Thank you for a great time at your Mallorca Training Camp. Hotel was beyond expectations, except for the food. There was too much variety, it was too well presented and there was too much!

The rides were well organised with plenty of variety and choices of difficulty. Please also pass on my thanks to the bike mechanics, without their assistance my activities would have been considerably reduced. However, overnight repairs by them had my bike running sweetly for the ride next day.

If I can find a slot in my diary I will definitely be back again for another trip this year.

Thanks Stuart . We’ve had a great trip . The rides were excellent and bike was fab . Location just beautiful.

A fabulous week, thanks for your and your team’s attention to all our needs. Accommodation, bikes, service all brilliant.

Evening Stu,

A big thank you to you and the team for making my first overseas cycling trip a memorable one!

You’ve got a great set up and team . . . and I’ve left inspired to take my cycling up a notch.

All the best

Hi Stuart, I would just like to say thank you to you and your team for our trips in March and April. They must have worked as I qualified comfortably for the worlds in Poland later this year. It proves that you don’t always need to be going out in the fast group. Thanks again, Nigel and Wendy

Having an amazing time. I will be back.

Hi Stuart, Jenny

Just wanted to drop you a quick line, after my Recent trip out to Majorca Fri 19th – 28th Sun

It’s as ever been a wonderful trip, apart from the 2 days rain, But the rides and company have been absolutely wonderful.

But more importantly, I want to say a massive thank you to Wayne, who I rode with every day, The guy is a star, and has kept us informed, entertained, and more importantly safe, 10 out of 10 marks for him, I hope you keep him working for you for years to come…

Was really chuffed as an added bonus, he drove us to the Airport, Result.

Hi Jenny

Thanks a million, our trip was perfect. This was our third time and we are already planning our club trip for next Easter.

Thanks a million

Carol

Just got back from 10 days of fab cycling. Thank you for organising transport to Bonyola so I could do Soller and the Puig Major. A special thank you to Sam who looked after me in some strong headwinds. Some lovely rides meeting some lovely people Wendy

Cheers for a fantastic week touring the beautiful island of Mallorca Wayne.
Will bring a cyclocross bike next year tho…
Roll on 2020. 356 days to go…. Mark

Fabulous week of cycling in Majorca with Stuart Hall. Great team of people, great food and great craic. 435 miles cycled and 21,000 ft climbed in 7 days. Home tomorrow for a rest!! Anne

I had a great cycling holiday with Stuart Hall. In particular I loved the Andratx to Port de Pollença ride and Sa Calobra. High praise for the planning and tour guides, the hotel, facilities and bikes. Highly recommend.
Julia

Hi Stuart,

Just wanted to send a quick email to say thanks very much for a great training camp. I had a great time and thought the organisation, ride leaders, accommodation and food was spot on!

Thanks again – I hope the rest of your year goes well and hopefully see you again next year.

Kind regards,
Abby

Just came back from my third trip with Stuart Hall Cycling. 450 miles and 26,896 feet of climbing over six days of riding – best week yet! Dan was amazing and patient w the bike fit, and kudos to Ben for putting up with kvetching about tired legs. Already looking forward to next year! Gabby

Thank you to Stuart Hall and the guides and helping to make it another amazing trip cycling in Majorca.
Missing you already, see you in October. Siobhan

Hi Stuart,
I just wanted to pass on my thanks to all you team. I had never been on a cycle holiday before and was a little bit concerned at riding in a group and keeping up etc. You have such a professional set up. From Helen who whilst cycling behind noticed my gears weren’t changing properly, Simon who told me to drop my saddle a few cm.
Wayne an awesome guide. Dan whose expertise in the bike shop tuned up the gears. Ed who could tell I was knackered on my last ride kept me in the group on the last hills. I would definitely recommend your organisation to anyone and ( after a bit of hill training ! ) I’ll be back.
Regards
Alan

Stuart

Thanks for your help in arranging my wife’s pickup at short notice.

Just a quick note to sing the praises of Ed, your new ride leader.
Had 3 rides with him and he was really good on all aspects.
As you know the ride leaders make a difference to your holiday, and Ed was first class.

Ben was also very good.

Thanks again for a good week.

Thinking of booking in October already.

Hi Stuart,

I wanted to drop you a note having just gotten back late last night.

Too often we are great at picking fault in things and not quick enough to dish out praise when it is due, and I have to say that Rich and I had an absolutely awesome time away with you and your team last week.

The hotel was great, the rides were brilliant and the leaders were lovely. We both met some great people out on the bikes and in the bar afterwards. I only took up cycling 18 months ago and i surprised myself over the holiday how far/hard i could actually push myself.

Please pass on our praise and thanks to everyone, and I have already shared my great experience with the club guys who are coming out over Easter. I really hope to be able to come again next year.

Thanks again
Marc and Rich

Stuart, Simon here, we have had a great holiday largely due to your excellent resort team and organisation.

Wayne has imparted knowledge that has been incredibly helpful in overcoming some issues I had on the bike and I return home a better rider.

The rides have been superb too and I will definitely return in the future and pass you on to my friends as a recommended outfit.

Many thanks

Simon

Dear Stuart/Jenny/All,

As always my Stuart Hall Mallorcan Cycling trip was fantastic. Always out of my comfort zone so always delighted with myself for getting through the day.

Five days with you and ten days to recover. Perhaps I should start training more in between…

Good luck with everything and will probably see you all next year.

Stuart,

Sorry I missed you on my trip. I had a great time and rode about 500 miles in the seven days I was in Mallorca.

The staff, hotel and food were outstanding. The routes were wonderful. I loved the flexibility each day with the different rides.

Please tell the guys that they really helped my training. I returned home late last night and went racing today. I won two criteriums! Both were about 25 miles each.

Thanks again and we will see you next year.

Dear Stuart.
I have returned home after a week cycling with your team in Mallorca. I had a great time and would like to thank all the team that looked after me. They were all very helpful and encouraging. Both hotels were very nice with plenty of vegetarian options on the buffet. It was my first time to Mallorca and with you, I look forward to come back next year.
Mike

Great time in Mallorca cycling with Stuart Hall, enjoyed going fast (for me), sunshine and storms, and meeting lots of characters!

2nd time with Stuart Hall cycling in one year and can’t fault it- from the hotel, food, staff, rides it was amazing. If you enjoy riding your bike in the sunshine with great company book this holiday you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I were with SHC in early October. I have been twice previously, however, this was my wife’s first experience with Stuart Hall. She absolutely loved it, from being picked up at the airport, the room. food, cycling, guides, fellow cyclists, hotel staff and the resort of Port de Pollenca itself everything was great.
We are definitely planning to return and would recommend SHC if you are planning a cycling trip to Mallorca.
Thanks again Stuart and staff.
Best wishes
Stephen & Margaret

A good setup, well run and great fun. I can highly recommend Stuart Hall and his team. I will definitely be returning. Thanks Stuart, best wishes, James.

We’ve just returned from another great week with Stuart Hall Cycling in Mallorca. Once again, we’ve had some great rides and met some great people. The highlight of the week was the Andratx to Pollensa ride (Thanks to Stuart for organising it and having riders en-route to check that we were OK). It was great riding with you all again…Until the next time, all the best! Wayne

Thank you Stuart Hall for a super week of cycling and great craic. See you again in April. I was sorry to leave Puerto Pollença.

Hi Stuart,
I missed you before I left today but just wanted to say thanks for a great week.
I really enjoyed it, the rain was even an experience in itself. It was my first organised cycle holiday and was travelling alone but it was made so easy and everyone working for you made me very welcome and I met so great people to ride with amongst your other guests too.

Hopefully see you in May.

Emma

Hey Stuart,

I really enjoyed my week riding with your groups. The ride leaders were great! Challenging rides, recovery rides, good pace and safe!

Good Afternoon Stuart,

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and your staff for a brilliant holiday 23 – 30 sep 2018.

From the moment we arrived everything was excellent, the room in the hotel, the bike and set up, helped by Dan.

The rides each day were very well organised and the three ride leaders, Dave, Tom and Wayne, made the rides even more enjoyable.

I have already told everybody at the club I ride with about Stuart Hall, recommending they use you, if they come to Majorca.

I will definitely look to book next year and look forward to cycling with your company again.

Thanks for a really good week.

Great rides, top guides, nice hotel and good company.

Great few days of cycling. Enjoyed all of them, slow and fast. You have a great group of guides there.

Dear Stuart Hall Cycling,

I had an amazing Tour de France trip & enjoyed every minute. Stuart’s knowledge was invaluable & made the trip special. Seeing each stage from different points each day was great & Stuart’s ability to change plans due to road closures made sure we got the best view each day. The accommodation was clean & comfortable, not luxury but good for the price, breakfast basic, we ate out for dinner & the food was great. I would love to see more of the Tour another time.

Hi Jenny,

Just to let you know that The Alpine Raid was the greatest experience I have ever had on two wheels it all went better than expected.

The climbs were hard but being on the same roads that the tdf uses made it extra special. The hotel stops were great and living out of my bags was a new experience but made me much more organised and tidy. I knew most of the riders from Mallorca and those I didn’t know we soon understood each other on the Cols.

The last ride down into Nice was magical fast descent and then the ride along the seafront. I grabbed a beer after a quick swim in the sea then back to the hotel for a well earned shower.

My thanks to SHC and crew for a great week of cycling. I just returned from the Raid Alpine.

It was stupendous. The climbs, two to three Cols per day, were awesome; the descents thrilling and never ending. Unbelievable, really. As an example, from the top of the Galibier, we rode 60 kilometres downhill to the Alpe d’Huez climb. I kept looking at my Garmin – 30 kms, then 40, then 50, and finally 60 kms. How does that happen. Who cares; it did and it was so much fun. And, that was only one of many such descents. In fact, if you’d been a kid, with a pocket full of quarters at a Midway amusement fair, where the rides were only a nickle a piece, you would not have had more fun. Exhilarating is insufficient to express the feeling of flying down the Cols to the next climb. If you’re thinking about riding the Raid Alpine, do it. The alpine scenery is breathtaking; and, SHC and crew are excellent hosts and guides. Not to be missed.

Epic trip! The ride of a lifetime for me. It’s still sinking in what I did. Brilliant organisation and support from Ian, Helen, Ivor and Stu.

Hey Helen & Stu!

You guys rock! Thanks for a super fun trip! And, thanks too to Ian and Ivor, who were terrific. It was great to spend time with you guys and the gang detoxing & retoxing!

Have great rest of the summer and look forward to seeing you in October!

xox,
Stefani

Morning Jenny
Just want to say thank you to the whole team for a wonderful weekend.
The trip was extremely well organised, the accommodation was ideal and Stuart and the rest of the lads were great company.
I loved the ride as the route and views were breathtaking and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I’m very interested in taking part again next year once the ride is announced please could you drop me an email to let me know.
Regards
Paul

Stuart,
I have to thank all of you at Stuart Hall Cycles for organising and supporting me thoughout the week of the Marmotte. You kept the pressure off the riders and the professional advice in the days before the race was invaluable (you even told me how to breathe).

The race day will always be one of the best days of my life and the race went so well. When I came down off the Galibier to find Dave by the van shouting “You did it man, man you did it!” I was sure that I would be a finisher. When I punctured in the last tunnel going down to Bourg, Dave and Ian rocked up to help before I even had the tyre off, it was great.

So at 69 I completed my first Marmotte and rode all the way, I have the medal, the long sleeve jersey and the memories!

Very many thanks for all the help.

A HUGE thank you for kicking off my training for the Maratona dles Dolomites so effectively. I was coming off zero training with less than 3 months to go. The holiday in Majorca was just what I needed. Friendly, relaxed Stuart Hall team, beautiful routes, great tips from Stuart on cycling technique during rides, fantastic pre-breakfast core sessions…AND…I bought my awesome Cervelo second hand through Stuart, too! I have completely fallen back in love with cycling and can’t thank you enough. Chapeau!

Hi Stuart

I recently returned from a week cycling with you between 28 April and 5 May 2018 with a group of 10 other friends. This was my second time with SHC and once again it was a great experience from the uplift at the airport, the hotel, cycling, staff and the drop off. The choice of routes and scenery is fantastic.

I also had a minor mechanical with my bike, which your staff sorted out in a few minutes.

I will be returning in October with my wife and we are both really looking forward to it already.

Thanks again!

Hi Stuart, just back from cycling in Mallorca where i joined your group for the drop in cycles a few days. Many thanks, i thoroughly enjoyed my cycles and found it easy to join and very well organised. I will be back next year without a doubt.

Hi Jenny

Just a quick note to say we had a great time on our cycling holiday and loved our stay at the Mar Senses hotel.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to you for all the help and support, also arranging our transport to Palma and to Dave for our excellent guided tours.

Best wishes

Mary and Michael Jamie and Mandy

Hi

Just returned from a week cycling in Mallorca. Had the best time and just wanted to take the opportunity to say what a wonderful group of staff you have, especially David going above and beyond to ensure all guests are happy!

Thanks again I will definitely be back

Hi Stuart. Everyone back from Majorca now from the CLEAT doctors group. We had a great time and were very impressed with your staff. Would be keen for another next year.

Hi Stuart

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for our recent trip to Mallorca. It was perfect.
The hotel was great, couldn’t have asked for better. Jon enjoyed the ride…..very proud of him!

He is looking forward to the Marmotte now!

Thanks so much for all of your help, greatly appreciated! Only wished we had booked for longer!

Nicky

Just a quick note (now I am back in Durango, Colorado) – I had an awesome, awesome time. Your staff and the hotel staff were just great. I will certainly recommend your tour company to all my Colorado friends. First class operation. Special thanks to Stuart and Julie for helping find my lost luggage and loaning a few items so I could ride.

Thanks to all for great time.

Steve

Hi Stuart,

Just a quick email to say thanks to you and your team.

You and your team delivered excellent customer service – 5*

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole “Stuart Hall” experience during my recent trip to Majorca and I am already looking forward to your Raid Pyrenees trip in August 2018.

Keep enjoying the cycling in the sun, stay safe and see you soon x

Best regards,
Marcus.

Hi
I’d just like to thank everyone at Stuart Hall for helping to give me the best holiday I’ve had for a long time. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and kind. Despite being a very average cyclist no body made me feel like I was a pain if I was a bit slower than everyone else. Being given encouragement and genuine support meant I succeeded in completing the Sa Calobra which I honestly didn’t think I’d manage. All the instructors/mechanics were brilliant and made the holiday.
I was also very fortunate in so much as I was lucky enough to be put in a room with Caroline whom hit it off with immediately. We laughed a lot and I made a friend for life.
Apart from the ants in the bedroom the hotel was brilliant and food fabulous quality and plenty of it. The staff there are also great.
So I’m afraid it’s highly likely you’ll be seeing me again in October…..!!! Please please pass on my thanks to everyone….and Helen please don’t lap me too many times in Richmond Park !!!!
Many thanks again to you all
With love
Zoe

Hi Stuart and team

Just wanted to say thank you for a great week’s training and the best cycling-holiday atmosphere I’ve ever had. Mallorca is brilliantly set up for cyclists and the hotel was a perfect base for us. I’ve never seen so many cyclists having breakfast together and the pre-ride and day-after chat was always fun

Best of all, the team at Stuart Hall Cycling has restored my faith in cycling holiday companies. I had a horrible experience last year in Tenerife and this year, it was such a relief to find ride leaders who can and do manage their groups effectively on the road.

It was also inspiring to ride and chat with Julie, Sophie and Helen. It’s great to see more talented women riders on the roads and they reminded me just how much I enjoy the dynamic of a mixed-sex training group. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with Stuart Hall Cycling and in the meantime, I’ll be watching out for our Sophie in the Tour de Yorkshire 🙂

Best wishes
Jane

Hi Stuart, Sam and Team

Thanks all of you for a great holiday. You came highly recommended and you did not disappoint. It was great that you were willing to be flexible with the rides because we were confident we could do the climbs but weren’t sure we would keep up with the faster groups. Very happy that you put on some that suited us as it would have been a shame to miss out on some of the most spectacular scenery. I was very impressed with my brand new Dream hire bike, I wasn’t expecting one of such high spec – no excuse for not making those hills either 😉 Playa Mar hotel was excellent, wide choice of delicious food, not sure how they manage such a range for huge numbers of hungry cyclists day after day; and very friendly service.

We’ll be back for more (cycling not just food).

Hello Jenny,

Just got home and I have to say it was brilliant. I Loved it.
Firstly, the staff at my hotel are all brilliant, always happy to help and very efficient in their work.
Secondly, the guides who work for Stuart are brilliant. very knowledgeable. Just to mention a few of them: Gaz, Andy, Julie, Tom and Ben. They will always keep an eye on how people are doing in the group… The difference ability rides on offer each day is excellent.

Look forward to the next one

A fantastic week was had by SoMTB, a special Needs cycling group from Surrey. We achieved so much. Thank you Dave and Ivor for being our super guides.
Thank you for making our first visit so memorable. We can’t wait to return 😄

Last day on the bike in Mallorca. We’ve had such a fantastic week with Stuart Hall cycling. Already making plans to come back again. Massive thanks to Sam for his excellent leading skills. Ivor and Julie too.

Hi Stuart,

Wanted to drop you a short mail to thank you and your staff for an amazing few days. What an experience from the transfers, the hotel, the selection of rides, the friendliness of everyone during each day, and of course the quality of roads and weather!!

A few of us connected and have become friends in such a short period, we are planning for October and next April !!

Dear team,

My son and I have just returned from a few days cycling with your company at Playa Mar Pollenca. We would just like to thank you for a really well organised short break, and the hotel couldn’t be faulted.

Just wanted to say we had an amazing trip with you at the start of April. Location, hotel, food, rides, staff were all absolutely spot on, we couldn’t have asked for more. You even fitted in a sa Collabra ride for us on special request which was absolutely awesome.

We will be booking again

I simply wanted to say what a great time I had on those fast roads in Mallorca, your staff were great and Andy is by far the kindest and most attentive- I enjoyed his company and rides very much.
So simply a thank you to you and also to Jenny for all her help. Great holiday, efficiently organised, nice hotel with great staff and like most of your clients I will be there again next year.

Stuart and Team

Many thanks for an excellent holiday in Majorca. I have been with you before but had a 5 year break due to living away. I am super impressed with the way you have developed in the last 5 years. We had at least 5 rides to choose from each day and body core classes each morning. Large, modern bedrooms and an excellent spa.

You have managed to keep the relaxed elements of the business – no need to sign up for a ride, just be at front of hotel at 10am and decide where you want to go, plus great places to stop for a coffee. Whilst also having great organization in the background – mechanic in hotel, notice board with all key information, enough leaders to be able to split big groups, and leaders who really know the lanes of Majorca and support with transfers to airport.

We really enjoyed it and will for sure be back, keep up the good work.

Jenny,

Please pass on to Stuart and all his staff, thanks and appreciation from myself and the rest of my group.

As you know, I brought 16 people out this spring and although many of us were return customers, there were a significant amount who were either, first time to Mallorca or first time with Stuart. It is safe to say that everyone very much enjoyed themselves and I received many positive comments.

Over the few years that I have been a customer, there has been a continued subtle but apparent improvement to your operation. Improved website & online communication before the holiday, a move to Playa Mar / Mar senses, a notice board with plenty of information, welcome briefings for new customers, friendly, helpful guides, in house repairs (my thanks to Sean!), massage from the Hillmanator, I could go on…..

There is much enthusiasm among those that joined me this time and I am sure this will lead to more return visits!

I look forward to joining you all again in the autumn, have a great season!

Thanks to all for a wonderful cycling experience. I particularly enjoyed the ride up the gorge from Selva and Sam’s amazing green routes through the farms and pasture land, vineyards, artichokes, donkeys and ponies. A great location and fab hotel.

Stuart,

On behalf of our group of cyclists and non-cyclists we wish to thank Stuart Hall Cycling for a most enjoyable week at the Playa Mar resort.
The entire Stuart Hall Team were excellent and could not have been more helpful in the advice and encouragement they gave to all of our group, so much so that some of our non-cyclists may plan some rides in the future.

Speaking of which we would plan to return to you (if you’ll have us!) in April 2019 (22nd to 29th) and you could provisionally book us in for a similar size group. Thanks again Stuart and we’ll chat soon,

Mike

Just wanted to say thank you to you, Helen n the team for another fantastic trip. Both had a great time. Thanks, Seona

Thanks for a great holiday. Nice hotel great staff and great rides. We will be back!

Hi Stuart,

I just wanted to send my thanks to you and your team. I joined three rides over the weekend for my first time cycling in Mallorca and I’ll definitely come back in the future. All the leaders were great and I made some lovely friends. Thanks so much!

Hey Stuart

Just wanted to say thank you for the pick up today, great service 🙂

There is nothing better than cycling in Mallorca. No Wait.. There is!! Cycling with Stuart Hall Leaders in Mallorca, Sean, Andy, Ben , Gary , Nick, plus any I missed. Beeping brilliant blokes, great hotel, couldn’t want for more. Except less snow and wind. Thanks everyone a SHC, hope to see you again in May.

Hi Stuart, I never got to meet you when I was in Mallorca last week(18th to 25th March) but just wanted to say that all the guys that you have working out there were brilliant. I also had a question before going and Jenny replied to my email within 24 hours answering my question witch was great. I’d highly recommend anyone wanting to go cycling over there to join you’re team and I’ll be back again next year.
Thanks

Second that what a great week of cycling with great company thanks Stuart Hall ☀️🚴‍♀️

The best training trip out in Majorca! Amazing riding, weather, food and company… what more could you want!?
Thanks Stuart Hall Cycling Stuart Hall for making it mega!!
#wannagoback
#livingthedream

Another excellent Mallorca trip with Stuart Hall Cycling and a bunch of awesome damas y callaberros already looking forward to 2019! Now for a snow-driven, four-flight, two-day adventure home … 😂

Thanks to Stuart Hall for another wonderful week of cycling in Majorca; 4 quality rides with your great guides clocking up almost 500km, only beaten by the weather in the last two days. Hopefully meet all the same lovely people again next year!

Hi Stuart

Just a brief email to say thank you to you and your ride captains for 7 great days of cycling in March. The food was good, the weather was brilliant compared to the UK (such a relief to be able to cycle in shorts and even a short sleeved top) and your guys took us on some brilliant rides at good speed. I improved my cycling fitness massively in just 7 days.

I will be joining up for the Alpine Ride in August. Looking forward to it and to coming back to Port de Pollenca.

Many many thanks

Dear Stuart

Many thanks for your follow-up email re our Cycling Holiday in October – we were so impressed in April we returned.

We had an excellent time which was the consensus of all in our group. In April we stayed in the Mar Senses & this time the Playa de Mar & we were very pleased with the accommodation (although ours was a little tired); the food, was excellent and the staff were pleasant & helpful.

Again there was a good range of rides & your leaders were excellent – in fact I have already encouraged two other local clubs I ride with to consider booking with you for their oversees tours. Lorraine, my wife, was particularly pleased with Ivor (after a chat to Helen) who took her, and another woman, who had been doing the steady rides with Sam, on a ‘steady’ Orient ride which they otherwise would not have considered. This was a great highlight for them.

We will certainly give very positive feedback on your FB page & on your website.

Again – many thanks for the follow-up & the great service you, and your team provide, and we hope to be with you again in the future.

Regards – John & Lorraine

We have now been home for over a week after having had a great ten days cycling in Majorca with Stuart Hall cycling.

The hotel, the Playa Mar is very good. The food is excellent and nothing could be too much trouble for the staff. The accommodation is comfortable though the apartments that haven’t yet been refurbished have quite tired bathrooms and kitchen areas. We sat in the pool area quite a lot this trip and that was well maintained.

There was a good variety of rides each day with a choice of hills and flat rides and varying distances. The ride leaders were excellent as usual though I personally don’t like being part of a large group on the small lanes near P. Pollensa. It was always more comfortable and felt safer being part of a smaller group. I appreciated and benefitted from some tips on technique given by ride leaders.

Kevin was lucky to be present when there was the chance of doing the lap of the island with some of the ride leaders and other clients. He really enjoyed the experience and benefitted from the support and company of the other riders.

I would ( and do) recommend the experience to other riders.

We hope to be there again next year!
Bev

Had the most fantastic time cycling in Majorca with some great friends, great guides (Stuart Hall cycling), and meeting new friends. 840 miles cycled in 11 days! Can’t wait to go again!! Lindsey

What a super day out on the bikes it was, the 2 pros did ok really, we backed it off for them when required… haha… yeah right… thanks to Stuart for organising chatting to the girls gave a real interesting insight into ladies pro-cycling.

Thanks guys for making our first visit out to Mallorca so enjoyable, great rides with nice people! Cheers and see you again soon

Just to say had a fab time cycling out with Sam giving me such encouragement and confidence to be out there riding, meeting some lovely people and making new friends. Got some good miles in and even managed Sa calobra. Great experience. Thank you, Wendy

Hi Stuart
Thank you for another great holiday. Everything about it was good, the hotel was excellent as usual and the staff were really friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Your leaders were really friendly and helpful, especially Andy and Sean who sorted the bikes. It was nice to be greeted by Jennifer, much appreciated. Also thanks to Sam and Ev who we have got to know quite well “similar age group”. The weather was good too.
Look forward to April. Have a good winter.
Regards
Muriel & Tony

Hi Everyone at Stuart Hall,

Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed the holiday, even though it’s taken me a week to recover!​ I rode most days with one of the medium pace groups which seemed to suit my ability and requirements. After 3 fairly long rides I dropped down to Sam’s ride for 1 day and appreciated the slightly easier pace. All the leaders were very helpful and road knowledge was excellent. I have been going to Mallorca for the last 10 years and they still managed to find lots of lanes I hadn’t come across.
The hotel was very good with an excellent choice of food, although taking the bike through the hotel to the room was something new as all other hotels I’ve stayed at have had secure and equipped underground garages. I wondered how non cycling guests viewed this. All in all, I thought it very well organised and the transfers were very smooth.
I’m not sure if you have contacted my room mate, Michael, but if not, I know that he would have similar comments. If our ageing bodies hold up until next October, I’m sure you’ll be seeing us again.

Many thanks for a great holiday.
Regards,
John.

Thanks Stuart for an awesome extended week of cycling. Got exactly what I wanted, lots of miles, good food, great company (even if I kept to myself a bit), and rekindling the legs. All the best. Steve

Just home last night after an epic 5 days riding with this great bunch. Best holiday ever. Can’t wait for the next trip #sorebum 🚲

Had a great holiday my partner and I. 10 out of 10 from start to finish. Looking forward to the next time which will be in May.

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

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!
