Fueterventura ride pictures and videos

[oGaryo]

Took a few pictures and videos of the ride yesterday that I thought may be of interest. Uploading them from the hotel reception whilst awaiting the transfer to the airport

Here's the route taken

This one is a shot of the sandy beaches to the north east of the island approximately 5 miles into the ride.

About 15 miles in turning away from the east coast towards the lumpy bits you can see in the distance. 6 miles or so of 6% incline so not too bad

 

[oGaryo]

Approximately 20 miles in at the top of the climb midway between the east and west coasts... very windy up there which the videos I will post should get across

Video getting towards the top of the climb.. The wind was very 'swirly'

A bit special for me this one as my mother was taken into hospital whilst we've been away... For you mum !!!

Good job Gary, and huge respect to do this on hols. Looked quite an epic ride, hot, breezy and lots of climbs. I'm in London tomorrow, and might have 30 mins early afternoon for a coffee if you are around?
