Winter in the canaries??


Recommended Posts

From what I can see on Google maps, due to the lack of roads to the top of Teide I think that it will be an impossible struggle to get up there on my road bike.

 

I ended up be looking at Gran Canaria, and there are some really interesting organised cycle camps on there. One that took the eye, was a tour of the Island arriving at a different hotel every evening. The organisers moved all your gear for you and provided all the back up services such as guides, bike mechanic back up, nutrition and water during the rides.

 

So now I need to start working out a plan on how to get this past my wife!

I've been to Tenerife a couple of times in December - to get away from the cold and dark days of the UK. We went to Vilaflor, which is half way up Teide. If you're staying any where up the mountains, I'd recommend hiring a car as public transport is non existent, and the mountain is very steep!
