I have ridden my bike over in Lanzarote for years and I love it there. The winds can be a bit hectic at times though, but the roads are sublime and as desolate as the landscape is, it is also really beautiful. Drivers also in whole are very respectful of cyclists too.
@@ChrisHallRides I had huge front wheel wobble descending Femes to playa blanca. Never been more scared on a bike, including getting run over as it was happening in slomo, and I could only envisage a crash but I stopped before it went bad thankfully
Haha, Lanzarote winds can be so strong!! I remember being out of the saddle, trying to crank the bike DOWNHILL on one occasion 😂 Lovely footage Chris. Looking forward to watching day 2 and 3👍
Gravel one for me next month so am eating up Granguanche videos for breakfast at the moment. After the last two years of ultra races am probably gonna be the same in the canaries - treat it as one-BIG holiday! Look forward to the see day 2 on Furteventura =)
Way Cool And Excellent Footage As Always - Surprised You Never Mentioned The Comfort Of The Bike After All The Showcasing Footage - Beautiful Sunrise , Amazing Ride Around On The Moon , And Looking Forward To Following Along Throughout This Adventure Stay Strong , Cheers
Flying out to Fuerteventura on Wednesday for a week of cycling. Enjoy it there as it's a bit flatter than the other islands but there are also some good climbs if you want them. Not usaully quite as wind either. Hope you enjoy the rest of your ride, look forward to more video's.
Only person riding to the start? What a cheap arse 😂😂 count me in! Sod it paying for a taxi 🫡 specially good if the roads are quiet The lights or lights you’re using are excellent did you have both of them on?
Yeah I mean it was like €100 to get a taxi so defo not paying that haha! It was worth it I really enjoyed it. Lights are from exposure. Absolutely fantastic

Good choice! Enjoy the gravel one!
Good move: chill is the thrill. Wonderful episode Chris.

Very enjoyable to watch here in the Netherlands where spring gave it a go today. Pretty hairy crosswinds there, stay safe.
It’s always windy in the Netherlands right? The Dutch hills
Mountains Chris! Please.😂
A ride in the sunshine then a nice all in hotel, sounds better than riding in the cold n wet then shuffling in a bivi 😂😂😂
Nice ride and start. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Thank you too

It’s lovely! Thank you for watching!

The lights or lights you’re using are excellent did you have both of them on?
Gravel edition next month starts at 10pm, it'll be the opposite - with no-one taking taxis from Costa Teguise!
Yeah I mean it was like €100 to get a taxi so defo not paying that haha! It was worth it I really enjoyed it. Lights are from exposure. Absolutely fantastic
