    The views from the aero bars are amazing and the music is spot on. Better to be safe then sorry. Coming back from Achilles surgery and am being super careful. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

    Loved this video! I’ll be doing the GG Road this coming January and this helped me to get a sense of the route and the gorgeous landscapes (though I’m aware that the MTB version is a totally different level😅). Thank you for sharing this. Look forward to the next one!

    How do you get that confidence in descending on a mountain bike . Great video. Thanks, Dave Tilly.

      Just riding more and more mountain bike terrain helps. I’m absolutely fine until it gets proper technical single track stuff. Loaded bikes also ride and handle differently

    Grand effort Chris, day 1 successfully completed 👍. Doing the right thing, not cycling overnight.....and those canarian salted potatoes with mojo or verde sauce, delicious! Superb footage BTW 👏Brings back good memories.......
    I really enjoyed competing there at Ironman Lanzarote over the years.. Roll on day 2 👍👍

    Awesome vlog Chris
    So that's where Matt Damon's fiming that Martian sequel ! :)
    I'd definitely err on the side of caution "tearing it up" even in daylight ! Imagine a bad fall, broken bones, laceration at 4.00 am, waiting around for help ! Not a "happy chicken"
    Love those Robin Guthrie ish
    Harold Budd ish soundtracks to the landscapes.
    Enjoy the journey, at the pace your gut tells you.
    Have a great day

    Papas Arrugadas every day. I swear some of the trail route on LZ was the same as the on the gravel trail, but who knows it all looks the same after a while! One think is for sure about LZ it's a route awakening of what's in store. Can't wait to see if you actually make the next ferry in time.. I suspect it was either a close call or a next morning call!

    You did well Chris, though terrain is quite different to UK and descending with a laden mtb adds to the spice. Mate I used to ride with just so much better than me, I could follow him up to a point then I just ran out of talent.
