Cyling Mount Teide: Europe's longest continuous climb (with data overlays)

Two fit but relatively inexperienced cyclists make a day of Mount Teide. Ain't no KOMs here, but there are plenty of coffee stops.

Route was Costa Adeje - Los Cristianos - La Camella - Arona - L'Escalona - Vilaflor - Teide - Parador ... and back again.
Ride was in early Feb 2018.

Beautiful Cervelo C3 hired from Bike Point Las Americas - they were great.

Spoiler alert: What not to do is go bare-legged on the descent from the Teide. It's COLD.

Shot on a GoPro Hero 5 (in 4:3 cos I didn't think I'd be uploading to YouTube and it's better for mobile sharing) with Wahoo Elemnt Bolt data overlays via Garmin Virb software.
