Sa Roqueta: Rapha 馬約卡島騎乘指南
特拉蒙塔納山脈 (Serra de Tramuntana) 山頂上存在著一種世間只應此處有的寧靜。偶爾打斷那寧靜的是山羊頸上的金屬鈴鐺聲響, 但更常傳來的是變速換檔的喀鏘聲或飛輪轉動的低頻唧唧聲。數十年來, 馬約卡島一直都是一種稀奇的二元存在: 既是豔陽高照的大眾度假勝地, 又是職業車手們的冬季清修苦行道場。早在鋪設第一條瀝青公路以前的好幾百年、甚至是千年的新石器時代, 馬約卡島就已奠定其歷史身份定位, 古老的石造瞭望塔樓和馬約卡島原民不朽的精神至今仍守護著島上的地貌風景。帶著攜車箱登島的我們只不過是最新近抵達的訪客, 騎車來回穿梭在崎嶇石灰岩山峰聳立的陸地上, 而那些山峰則是牧羊人和石匠數千年來的家鄉。
There is a specific kind of silence found only on the upper reaches of the Serra de Tramuntana. Quiet punctuated by the metallic chime of goat bells and, very often, by the click of a gear or the buzz of a freewheel. For decades, Mallorca has existed as a curious duality: a sun-drenched escape for the masses and a spartan winter dojo for the pro peloton. But for centuries, and millennia, long before the first asphalt was laid, Mallorca’s identity was forged in the Neolithic era, leaving a landscape still guarded by ancient stone watchtowers and the enduring spirit of the Mallorquí people. Those of us who arrive with a bike box are merely the latest visitors to traverse a land whose rugged limestone peaks have been home to shepherds and stonemasons for thousands of years.
