A little bit about myself. Shortly before my retirement three years ago I bought an ebike. I'd cycled all my life but mostly only in the context of commuting to work. The ebike (Cube 625) has opened up new worlds for me, especially in terms of access to the Dublin & Wicklow mountains, and I've cycled over 15,000km since its purchase. The reasons for me recording clips of some of my cycles are twofold: Firstly, I ain't getting any younger and I don't know for how much longer I'll be able to go for cycles of 70-80+km. I want to have memories to sustain me should I be forced to restrict or give up cycling. Secondly, I want to encourage other people to take up cycling and to suggest various route; an ebike is a great way to get back to being active. You will get exercise and will travel further as you gain confidence. Happy cycling to all of you!
Thankfully, I've never had any issues with other traffic. Probably that just means that I’m lucky! I find it more comfortable to cycle in the countryside than in the cities and try to find quieter roads. Have you any particular areas that you’d like to explore?
Sorry I missed your query! The road to Cofete is mixed; quire rough in places on the road from Morro Jable, not too bad on the descent to the beach itself. These links will give you an idea what the road is like. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WN50rkQhgQ8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2rVy8V8X6X0.html Unfortunately, I don't have my rides on Strava/Garmin; I may do so in future! Volcano Bikes seem to be the only decent bike hire place in Morro Jable. volcano-bike.com
This is an amazing climb and descent!!! I rode from Esquinzo to Costa Calma where I picked up the FV-605 and rode past La Pared to Pajara, After a cafe stop I went up and down this climb, fed the chipmunks and ravens biscuits at the top and rode back to Esquinzo, it's a must do climb. Great Videos
That's a good cycle! I know some people don't like the barren scenery in Fuerteventura, but I love this particular descent. It mightn't be as spectacular as say cycling to Cofete Beach (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WN50rkQhgQ8.html), but it's hard to beat for road cycling.
It probably depends on where you're starting from. I base myself in Caleta de Fuste and go from there to Antigua via the FV-413, then the steep climb to Mirador de Guise y Ayose, down to Betancuria, along the fabulous road in this video to Pájara, then back to Caleta de Fuste via Tuineje and Agua de Bueyes. It's about 80km and I prefer to do the big climb to Mirador de Guise y Ayose first, just to get it out of the way while I'm still fairly fresh. Going in this direction has the added bonus that you're riding next to the drop edge of the road and is thus a bit more exciting!

Glad you like them! Yes - it's a lovely cycle down to the beach. I was so engrossed that I didn't notice that I was humming happily to myself for part of the journey!
@@qcsorter4626 volevo ringraziarti per i tuoi video, mi sono incuriosito che a Settembre ho già prenotato hotel voglio pedalare in questa meravigliosa isola grazie per i tuoi video. P.S volevo sapere dove allogiavi per dormire posto bellissimo ma ho trovato la risposta nel video.
Yes - the views are spectacular! As I do point out though, I'm on an ebike so I ain't no superman! Huge respect for those who complete this on a pushbike.
Most of the road is fine for driving. It is a little bit narrow in places but careful driving will see you safely through. Just slow down entering blind corners. (At 05:25 I think the car takes the corner much too quickly). The trip is worth it for the magnificent views along the way.
Having ridden those hills in both directions, it's great to see someone has made a video of it. On my last decent, I was caught behind a coach which I caught up with on every bend and had to brake almost to a standstill, most frustrating. A real mental and physical challenge. Well Done. I am hoping to tackle the route again at the end of April 2023.
Bit of bad luck with that coach. Congratulations to you on doing it both ways. Hope it went well for you Sean in April. This is one of my all time favourite routes to cycle.
Lots to do in Fuerteventura! Car hire is relatively cheap but there's also a good bus service. You can expect nice weather in May but not too hot - mid 20s°C. As Fuerteventura is a windy island you may not realise just how hot it is so be sure to have a high (30+) sunscreen. Most hotels are good value and everything is geared towards tourism. Corralejo in the north and Morro Jable in the south are worth visiting. If you hire a car be sure to drive along the FV-30 road from Betancuria to Pajára, stopping off in Betancuria for a meal. It's a lovely scenic road with lots of nice views. You can have a preview on some of my other videos on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lCGJdHyZdGo.html
Keep in mind that I have an ebike. Still, tough enough for somebody my age (and weight!). I have the greatest respect for people who make it to the top on ordinary pushbikes.
