    Next time Katie on this route you can take the out and back road to The Teno lighthouse, the road is amazing perfectly tarmaced and best of all cars are not allowed! We got over 55mph on the descent!

    Awesome Katie. I'm up that way again in may. I definitely remember that road between Adeje and Chio. If you climb through Tamaimo towards Masca ( Santiago del Teide) that would be good to see as I'll be staying in Los Gigantes and Masca is my other route

    Masca was one of the hardest rides I've ever done. It is no joke. Every time you think you're done climbing, it just keeps going. If you have time and feel like going back in that direction, the lighthouse (Punta de Teno) on the northwest edge of the island (it's where the windmill is off in the distance @ 3:04), has a spectacular view of the ocean and the cliffs where Masca is.

    i really recommend the route from puerto de la cruz to buenvista del norte and then start climbing to el palmar and then through masca valley to santiago del teide. that is a hefty climb. the traffic was a bit annoying and you have to watch out for the coaches, cause they set back and forth in the really steep corners and with the bike you have no chance to stop.
    it was such an incredible experience, i will never forget. also from la esperanza to pico del teide was unbelievable beautiful. that feeling when you arrive the summit, money can´t buy. enjoy!

    After 8 trips to Tenerife, I prefer the riding and lodging in the north part of the island. The south (anything south of Playa San Juan on the west coast) is basically a tourist ghetto while the entire north coast has a wider variety of climbing, lots more greenery, picturesque villages, better food, etc.

    Just to let you know Katie, the industrial scene you saw is only temporary, it’s where they are building a new tunnel through the mountain to link the north and south motorways creating a ring road round the island. Happy riding and stay safe.

    • @kevinryder-t9r

    Hey Katie, really enjoy your videos. I've also been wanting to do Teneriffa, but your description of the climb(500m in 15k or 2800m for 85km so about 3%) doesn't really describe it for me. What are the percentages on the high side and for how long would really interest me🤔 p.s. very inspiring, especially considering from where you started!👍

    My recommendation for most impressive climb in Tenerife would be Los Silos to La Tierra del Trigo, on a road named Camino Real las Arenas. Spectacular views, spectacular gradient. Go give it a try. But bring proper gearing, too, it's up to 24%. And when you've done that, continue uphill to the Puerto de Erjos and take the small road westwards all the way up to the Radio Tower. What a view to the neighboring islands to the west.
