Do it David! It's a crazy climb - so rewarding when you get to the top. You definitely need a good base fitness but I wouldn't worry too much about weight. It never gets very steep, it just goes on forever!
We hired from Bike Point in El Medano - very highly recommended. Great bikes and great service. Can also highly recommend Free Motion, who we used in Gran Canaria.
Masive landscapes great adventure....

Did it last week from the south side. Through the woods was the hardest part. Glad I made it and got to see that rewarding landscape. Nice video!
Thanks! It's a heck of a climb isn't it. We did it from the North side a couple of days later - I'll put a video together of that when I get time!
amazing aventure and great ride up To El Teide.
Best part is finishing the day in El Médano and the carnaval.

It's quite some climb! Definitely one for the cycling bucket list. The carnival and cold beer was such a treat after a long day!
Great video, did you take your own bikes out or hire them out there?
If I can sort my fitness and lose some weight I'd love to try it myself!
