It’s the day after my mega ride where I went up Mount Tiede twice in a day, so some much needed recover was in order.
Firstly I’m off to do tourist things, returning to Teide but this time by foot… where I then get the cable car to the top for those incredible views.
I then get myself back down the mountain and out on the bike for a little active recovery spin. Whilst I’m out on the bike I tell you a few things that has made me really love my time here in Tenerife and what I think makes this island so special.
Ones things for certain, I’m definitely going to be returning… I had an incredible time here and I really do recommend it for your next cycling holiday, even if it’s just for the incredibly smooth road surface. It’s a beauty to behold!
Here’s a link to the previous days ride, where I ride up Mount Teide twice in a day…

And here’s a link to my first ride in Tenerife, where I ride through the Masca Valley.

Please don't stress out about making content. We'll be here, love all that you do bro! You inspire me to get in shape via bike!
Thank you… it’s not that I stress, but I’ve just got a very addictive and obsessive personality, which makes me become very engrossed in things…
It’s a blessing and a curse! 🤣👍
Cheers to 400th ride mate! This is my dream and you made it possible. Happy for you thomas. You always inspire bike lovers. Ride safe mate. Cheers!
I dont know how you do the editing and music blending transition but man you have quality videos. Do you do all filiming and editing? 🤔 Cheers mate! Big thanks for the motivation. ✌❤💯
Thanks so much! 😁🙏
Haha, Thomas you're a legend! Love the news segment comms to future Thomas! Interesting insights as always, particularly noticing you're not always present as you're focusing on the filming. No idea how you ride AND make vids. It's great you're doing unfilmed rides so you can absorb the experience. Big up yourself brother ❤️💛💚
Thanks so much! 😁🙏
Amazing Thomas. Can't cycle currently due to tonsillitis so gonna binge watch all your videos as an alternative! 💪
😁🙏🙏🙏
Hahaha Future Thomas 😄 Thanks for another great vid!
😁🙏🙏🙏
your camera is amazing great clarity love your inspirational vids with such enthusiasm for cycling if ever I fell not going on a ride just watch one of your vids and I'm out in a flash even if the weather is slightly different !! but its a different world isnt it Thomas brilliant 👏
That’s great mate! Thank you 😁🙌
Superb vlog Thomas, Genuinely look forward to your vlog on a Sunday and they never disappoint. Future Thomas was genius! Thanks for answering my question by the way, quite a surprise while eating my cornflakes 😂👍
Haha… thanks mate! And you’re welcome… 😁👍
Love the vids mate, the vibe and humour, it's as if we are sitting around shooting the shit with you. Love it.
Thank you! 😁👍
Smashing series - Cyprus has some great riding as well - for me its a bit of a hidden gem.
Yes I’ve heard this…
The north of the island is the most beautiful and best part of the island. More scenic and more green. Lots more routes. It can get more cloudy come the afternoon as wind blows from the north, but still great temperatures. Would recommend heading to anaga rainforest next trip. Just stunning. Easily accessible from Puerto del la Cruz.🚵
Yeah I think so… if I go back, I’ll be staying in the north for sure!
@@TheCyclingTattooist your content sends me to heaven 👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist Ps I know you love your burgers. Try Tropic Burger when you are next in Puerto de la Cruz. 👍
I absolutely loved Tenerife last Nov, stayed in the South (I know I know) and will definitely go back this year. Great vid!
😁🙌
Great !! This is your second home !!! Thanks for visit us 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
🙏🙏🙏
Not problem 👍🏻
Cool video. Saw you on the Kentish Killer. Keep them coming.
Ahh cool! Hope you had a good one…
Had a choice 6 weeks ago of either booking Tenerife or Mallorca for a 10 days of cycling, this week.. regrettably I chose Mallorca… currently 11° and rain forecast for the whole week.. gutted! Done Sa Calobra, 1st day.. Strava glitched and didn’t record a time.. 🤨.. Gonna keep going.. will make the most of this trip 💪
That’s it mate… don’t let it get you down! I’ve been away loads of time and the weather has been awful! Just keep telling yourself “I’m away on my bike, out in nature… and not at work!” 😁👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist thanks mate 🤙.. turned out to be the worst storm in 40 years! 1.5m of snow. All the hill climbs closed.. but managed to sneak up to Lluc. Repsol garage.. only cyclist on Strava for the whole day!! Check it out Lol 😂
Hey Thomas, best cycling video's, love your energy and tattoo's. come over to NZ you would love it. cheers Mike
It’s on the list for sure! 🙌
Dude watch a bunch of your vids but never really listened to the lyrics 😹💯🤟🏽 that's good flow !!
🤪🙌 Press1 is the artist…
Great video! One thing you didn't mention was how good the food is. 1st time visitor to Puerto de la cruz for me this year and I was blown away by the choice, and high quality of food. For me that tips the balance to the Tenerife v Majorca debate. I'm another convert to Tenerife and particularly the north of the island, much more chilled vibe and stunning locations to ride to. Lots of loop routes possible, althought there's no warm up, straight up the volcano climb from the go! As many people say, there are no flat roads in Tenerife. It's not a place for those that don't like climbing!
Yea you’re not wrong there… I put on 4kg whilst I was there! 🤣🤣🤣
Great vid as always!! Having just come back from Grand Canaria! I was so jealous of you out having those epic spins !! Unfortunately no bike for . You definitely need to ride with mates much better and you can draft them too !!! Keep doing for the Brits 👍🏽
Thanks! 😁🙏
Nice music choice in the car! 5:29
Love The Cure
🙌🙌🙌
Jeeez, need to persuade the Mrs that this is the next holiday spot 😂
Do it!!! It’s nuts…
For a local Mallorca rider ,(me) that goes to Tenerife 2 to 3 times during winter and spring to ride my bike , I can tell you , roads and infrastructure in Mallorca are better , Tenerife is much harder in terms of raw cycling , the north is always little more dodgy weather wise but also really cool , Tenerife has some crazy gemz that in Mallorca would be impossible to match.
But get your eyes in gran canaria , middle of the island 🏝️ has outstanding routes and far less cars, Tenerife in the north is crazy in ammount of cars . Specially on weekends.
Anyway ,great place to ride .
Great work bud. Love the split to “wet Tom”❤
😘😘😘
Haha! Your packing reminds me of finally being packed only 30 mins before heading to Kilimanjaro from the uk. 🥵
Amazing dude.. be great to see a nutritional vid on fuelling on and off the bike.. awesome BMX footage I used to BMX to back in the 80s and 90s.. I also ride a supersix and CAAD10😊🤩🏅🚴
😁🙌
Great stuff! Something you might have overlooked, it's not legal to ride bikes with earbuds in in Spain. Hence why sometimes when you see pro's training, you will hear music from a small speaker in their back pockets.
Interesting. Do you know whether aftershockz bone conducting headphones are also illegal?
Definitely overlooked that… really wasn’t aware of that, so thanks for the heads up for the future! 😁👍
Good chatty vids…i lost battle with daylight.on mega up n over n back( 116mile, 16000ft )…only back light on. Thankfully they have bold white lines at roadside. Trippy decent to Los Gigantes. Stupid but cold n tired
I did puerto santiago to la oratava n back…too busy rush hour to go into puerto de la cruz….i didnt have a front light…hour decent in dark…desperate stupid
Yeah cold descents in the dark aren’t the best… but sometimes we have to do it! 🤣🙈
Wow
super
Ha ha I live in a climate that’s warm all year round and people are far from chill. In fact they are bloody crazy!!
I’d take crazy over angry and miserable any day… 🤣
Great content, I will have to visit from the U.S.
🤘🤘🤘
Haven't enjoyed a cycling channel as much as yours since the early cycling maven days. What's your favourite? Girona, Mallorca or Tenerife?
Thankyou…
And mannnn that’s a hard one… they’re all so different! If you like the hills and plenty of them, then Tenerife… if you prefer beautiful varied roads then Mallorca… Girona is best for the vibe and culture and obviously great roads too!
Your freehub sounds like the rotors are rubbing.
Nope…
17:37 😂😂 🤘🏼
17:38 Hahaah! Future Thomas for president!
🤣🤣🤣
Shame you didn't ride the Masca loop, it has the best views imo. What a con with Teide, paying for cable car ticket then needing a permit to walk the rest. Surprised your not trying for the 500 🙂
Yes I rode masca… was incredible! And yes definitely a con with the cable car, funny they don’t tell you about the permit at the bottom!
Clicked lookback (and the rest)!
🙏🙏🙏
When are we going to see a cycling tattooist organized group ride?
There’s going to be a couple of FAAST Crew rides this year… go follow the Instagram page for news! 😁👍
Thomas, are you daring to say the roads in our country of Blighty 🏴 aren't the best 😉🤪😉🤪😉
🤣🤣🤣
Was that Jumping Someone Else's Train I heard?
😁🙌
Of you like it flat go to Holland? Hahaha.
Holland is famously flat right..? Have I got that wrong..?
You should say «actually» a lot more
Do I say it a lot then..? 🤣
