Video Description
In this bikepacking documentary film, Tristan Ridley and Egon Klett cycle a spectacular and challenging new bikepacking route in Gran Canaria, showing off what makes the island so special and why bike trips are just so much fun. This film features some breathtaking drone shots of the island, lots of incredible riding, some sublime wild camping experiences, and plenty of coffee and banter along the way. The Gran Canaria Grande is a 5-day bikepacking route in Gran Canaria, at the heart of the Canary Islands. Forming a challenging but spectacular bike touring loop which starts and finishes at Maspalomas, the Gran Canaria Grande is an incredible showcase of the island, taking in most of the most famous must-see spots whilst at the same time staying mostly off the beaten track, and featuring some truly spectacular mountain landscapes. The route covers mixed terrain, with plenty of gravel, dirt roads and singletrack, but it also has plenty of good paved road sections, where traffic is very light. The route is therefore very well suited to gravel cycling, although a mountain bike can be nice for extra comfort and capability on the descents. Gran Canaria has a fantastic climate with great weather all year-around, even in winter, and this makes it one of the best destinations in Europe for anyone looking for a week's cycling holiday in the sun. Flights are cheap, so Gran Canaria makes for a perfect winter escape. For the full route GPX and some extra background on the story behind the route, see: https://bikepacking.com/plog/gran-can...
