Yes - some roads in Gran Canaria can be a bit tasty if (like me!) you have an issue with height. This was my third trip going there and thankfully I've gotten better with managing my fear. My 'secret' is to focus as fully as I can upon the road/trail directly ahead of me and to try and block out what's to my side. You will never 'not be aware' of what's there, but hopefully you can limit its affect. th-cam.com/video/XDj-alglMF0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/s41w-GUXnEA/w-d-xo.html

Good point!

@ --but certainly makes for a better film descending!

Glad you liked it. Cheers.

Thankfully, I've never had any issues with other traffic. Probably that just means that I’m lucky! I find it more comfortable to cycle in the countryside than in the cities and try to find quieter roads. Have you any particular areas that you’d like to explore?

Sorry I missed your query! The road to Cofete is mixed; quire rough in places on the road from Morro Jable, not too bad on the descent to the beach itself. These links will give you an idea what the road is like. th-cam.com/video/WN50rkQhgQ8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2rVy8V8X6X0/w-d-xo.html Unfortunately, I don't have my rides on Strava/Garmin; I may do so in future! Volcano Bikes seem to be the only decent bike hire place in Morro Jable. volcano-bike.com

That's a good cycle! I know some people don't like the barren scenery in Fuerteventura, but I love this particular descent. It mightn't be as spectacular as say cycling to Cofete Beach (th-cam.com/video/WN50rkQhgQ8/w-d-xo.html), but it's hard to beat for road cycling.

That it is!

It probably depends on where you're starting from. I base myself in Caleta de Fuste and go from there to Antigua via the FV-413, then the steep climb to Mirador de Guise y Ayose, down to Betancuria, along the fabulous road in this video to Pájara, then back to Caleta de Fuste via Tuineje and Agua de Bueyes. It's about 80km and I prefer to do the big climb to Mirador de Guise y Ayose first, just to get it out of the way while I'm still fairly fresh. Going in this direction has the added bonus that you're riding next to the drop edge of the road and is thus a bit more exciting! You can see more of this journey in these clips: th-cam.com/video/KZtZrde8yfI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/X3Qd6IcZgT4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/X3Qd6IcZgT4/w-d-xo.html

Das ist einer der Gründe, warum ich diese Videos mache. Es ist schön, auf sie zurückzublicken, wenn das Wetter kalt und nass ist!🙂

It can vary! The prevailing winds are westerly, coming off the Atlantic and bringing rain.

Glad you like them! Yes - it's a lovely cycle down to the beach. I was so engrossed that I didn't notice that I was humming happily to myself for part of the journey!

Sono felice che il video ti sia piaciuto: è una bellissima vista sull'isola di La Graciosa. Mi dispiace, non sono sicuro di cosa intendi per bungalow.

@@qcsorter4626 volevo ringraziarti per i tuoi video, mi sono incuriosito che a Settembre ho già prenotato hotel voglio pedalare in questa meravigliosa isola grazie per i tuoi video. P.S volevo sapere dove allogiavi per dormire posto bellissimo ma ho trovato la risposta nel video.

Spero che tu abbia trascorso una fantastica vacanza in bicicletta!@@battistamarino8507

Yes - the views are spectacular! As I do point out though, I'm on an ebike so I ain't no superman! Huge respect for those who complete this on a pushbike.

Ja, ich gehe auch gerne dorthin. Es gibt so viele schöne Teile der Insel.

Glad you liked it. Always a nice place to visit. Pity the weather hasn't been so good lately!

Most of the road is fine for driving. It is a little bit narrow in places but careful driving will see you safely through. Just slow down entering blind corners. (At 05:25 I think the car takes the corner much too quickly). The trip is worth it for the magnificent views along the way.

Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat Peter. Schade, dass der Tag nicht sonniger war.

Bit of bad luck with that coach. Congratulations to you on doing it both ways. Hope it went well for you Sean in April. This is one of my all time favourite routes to cycle.

It's just over an hour's walk.

Well I'm pretty fast on an ebike! No way I'm getting up there without one!

Lots to do in Fuerteventura! Car hire is relatively cheap but there's also a good bus service. You can expect nice weather in May but not too hot - mid 20s°C. As Fuerteventura is a windy island you may not realise just how hot it is so be sure to have a high (30+) sunscreen. Most hotels are good value and everything is geared towards tourism. Corralejo in the north and Morro Jable in the south are worth visiting. If you hire a car be sure to drive along the FV-30 road from Betancuria to Pajára, stopping off in Betancuria for a meal. It's a lovely scenic road with lots of nice views. You can have a preview on some of my other videos on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/lCGJdHyZdGo/w-d-xo.html

Glad you like them!

Keep in mind that I have an ebike. Still, tough enough for somebody my age (and weight!). I have the greatest respect for people who make it to the top on ordinary pushbikes.
