Supplement to Mallorca:

In our island duel in the February issue, we unfortunately forgot the four Rad-International bike centres in the Mallorca information section. The bike hire and touring stations are located in the south-west of the island, in Camp de Mar, Santa Ponca (2) and Paguera, and are open all year round. Info: www.rad-international.com.

Gitta Beimfohr joined the BIKE travel resort during her tourism studies when the Strada delle 52 Gallerie on the Pasubio was closed to mountain bikers. Since Gitta crossed the Alps twice at racing speed, she has favoured multi-day tours - by MTB in the Alps or by gravel bike through the German low mountain ranges.
