What places can I visit during the route?
This route leaves from Gáldar, first capital of the island of Gran Canaria. We will go along several small towns such as The hole, Caleta de Abajo and Sardinia del Norte among others. The halfway point will be when we reach the town of Agaete. On the track, we do not go into Agaete. So if you want to take a walk through the natural pools of Las Salinas or Puerto de Las Nieves, you can leave it when you reach the first houses in the town and return to it from where you left.
Provisioning
On this occasion we were able to do the route with so only 750 ml of water, since it was not very hot and the wind cooled the body. Anyway, there are several stores in Sardinia del Norte to be able to buy fruit, water or food in general. We would also have a second chance halfway, in Agaete. A priori, We consider that with 400 kcal in food, It's enough.
What type of bikes can I do the route with?
The ideal bicycle to do this MTB route is one of XC (Cross Country). Even double suspension. In the initial part of the route, the ravine track is full of stones. Also There are 3 technical descent points, where we will have to get off if we are not very skilled and we go with a suitable bike. I did the route with one Gravel bike, but it is not the most recommended.
What level do I need to do this bike route?
It's really not a very long route, but if you get caught by a day with wind and you are not in shape, you can have a bad time when you return. We recommend you look at the wind prediction with some type of App Wind Guru.
