There are 4 travel options to Gatwick Airport from Travelodge
Either tight-fitting or loose-style, are a must. If you can, pay more for high quality. You will need two pairs each, or one pair that you wash each night. (This will only work if the weather is warm enough to dry the shorts each night.) If you are a little self-conscious about your legs or you are worried that you’ll feel the wind-chill, take a pair of three-quarter length cycling tights with you, too. Choose bibbed shorts or waist shorts depending on your preference but remember that bibbed shorts will require you to strip off your top if you need to use the toilet!.
Could be short or long-sleeves (or a selection of) t-shirts and jerseys. Again, it’s comfort that you are looking for in your cycling tops. Choose sweat-wicking sports t-shirts or cycling-specific jerseys that are loose enough to allow your arms and shoulders freedom of movement, but not so baggy that the top is annoyingly flappy when cycling. Your cycle top should have a back that is long enough to cover your lower back to avoid windchill and sunburn while cycling. Many people choose cycling jerseys with useful pockets in the back. Take a couple of tops and wash the one you’re not wearing.
The useful items of kit are perfect for any cycling trip that takes you into the
mountains. Many people are surprised by how cold the mountain tops and descents can be and a pair of arm or leg warmers popped into your jersey pockets, and then worn when you feel the chill, can make a huge difference to comfort levels.
Lightweight jackets should be small enough to fit into a jersey pocket or a small backpack. A lightweight rain-proof jacket is advisable also.
If you are cycling longer distances a pair of cycling shoes that clip into pedals will make a massive difference to your pedalling power.
If you don’t already use cleats and would like to use them in Mallorca then It is a good idea to practise cycling with cleats and pedals before the holiday. If you are hiring a bike, you could bring your own pedals and bike shoes so that you know that you’ll be comfortable with the set-up.
Most cycle tour companies insist on customers wearing a bike helmet and, most cyclists know the safety benefits of a helmet. Bring your own for extra comfort or hire a helmet when you hire a bike.
It is advisable that you bring your own saddle for your comfort.
Most bikes have a bottle cage, or two, fitted so take advantage and bring a bike water bottle. Adequate hydration is vital on cycling holidays, especially in warmer countries.
Sweaty hands and holding on to the handlebars for days of riding mean that your hands will become sore and raw if you do not wear cycling gloves. The gloves also offer vital protection from the hot sun. Take a couple of pairs with you.
This useful item can be worn to protect your neck or head from sunburn, or for keeping your ears warm when starting out on a chillier morning.
Garmin, Wahoo, etc. to download the routes.
You will not be provided with a mount so please bring your own, some bike computers came with a temporary mount.

We would recommend that you take out travel insurance in the event of any unforeseen circumstances. This includes the need for any urgent medical assistance, loss of property, damages, etc. If you have existing travel insurance, it is worth checking your cover as most policies exclude anything other than leisurely riding and will exclude cycling if that is the primary reason for your trip.
NLCC will not accept liability for any loss, damage or injury during this trip.
