When booking your trip, make a note about your capability and your goals to give us an idea about which route to take you to. The day of the trip, your guide picks you up at your accommodation to bring you to the bike shop. Once the bikes are fitted, you head to the route to begin your challenge.

Click your helmet and cycle flat along the gorgeous rocky coastline to test your distance. Along the 213 km (132 mi) coastline, you pass views of orange rocks sitting sharply against crashing blue waves. If you’re looking for hills, attempt the Ajaches or Famara mountain ranges, both formed from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Today, years of erosion and dry conditions create a desolate landscape, and you're likely to spot craters and volcanic cones.
