La ruta de los 4 Jinetes del norte: 9 downhills to enjoy
This track is made up of 9 sections to enjoy your Enduro or all Mountain bike. Of course, you have to like to ascend by bike. There are no technical climbs, almost everything is by road or simple dirt tracks, trying to get to the exit of the stages as soon as possible. If it becomes too long, you can always shorten it by eliminating some of the sections. The downhills are as follows (you can see the complete descents in the video at the end).

- Sendero al Pinillo
- Piconera de Gáldar
- DH Fontanales
- Vueltas del acero
- Las Rosadas

✔ Tips before doing the route
As it is long, it is important that we carry enough money or food / water to complete it. It is perfect for cyclists in good physical shape or for electric bikes, but on hot days it can get tough from so much climb. It does not have excessive difficulty, although it does go through some descents of the Gran Canaria cup. The perfect bike to do the tour would be an All Mountain with full suspension and 14cm of travel.
