See you at Granguanche Gravel 30th March – Lanzarote, Canary Islands.

30th March 2024 is the start of 3rd edition of Granguanche Gravel. An adventurous journey across the Canary Islands. Starting in Lanzarote and ending up in El Hierro.

The GranGuanche Audax Gravel is a self-supported, single-stage, fixed-route, endurance cycling event across the Canary Islands. It’s not a race, it’s a collective adventure and a challenge to finish the route. There’s no cut-off time, there are no prizes, no medals, no brevet cards or finisher diplomas. The Audax is focused on the experience rather than the final results.

It’s a demanding route for experienced riders as it includes serious climbs, high mountains, and remote areas. Experienced means well-trained, technically skilled, and wisely equipped. Exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and night rides add even more risk to a challenging ride. Participants are fully responsible for their safety and logistics.

Confused quite easily but this is the I’m getting to picture properly this is the darant Valley Reservoir absolutely beautiful if I get out the picture and have a look behind the lens the uh yes it’s rather Bleak looking today although the sun does want to make an appearance

And it’s it’s poked his head out at least once a day anyway 3 weeks from now I’m going to be doing my first big Ultra enjoyment event the grand Guan that’s how I’m pronouncing it it’s a 700 km gravel race around the canary Isles um starts in lanzerotti then cross over to thir

Venture gr area what’s the next one uh ten and finishes in Al herio about 3 and a half days later maybe four days going to try uh it starts 1 p.m. Saturday and the idea is I I want to be in bed on T Reef in a nice five star hotel

By Wednesday evening that is the plan whever it turns that out the way Down so just heading north at the moment anticlockwise around the reservoir anyway what we’re saying about Grand guanche yes little over 3 weeks away and uh couple weeks so now I’m going picking up a bite box which have hired from a different gear in cheffield so that weekend I’m

Going to be going out for a bit of variety in the fet district as well no doubt will be the last training ride for head over to Spain and hopefully Circle the Sun at some point I will do a a bite check video with you show you the bike I’ll taking on the ride and the things that be carrying with Me and it will actually be the first time I’ve ridden in Spain anywhere in Spain so we’re looking forward to hitting the trails and the roads in turn Ree and all the rest of the Canary Islands wow the sun is made an appearance I can see some Shadows three days pretty much on Queue so it was going to be nice over lunch time on woods so really looking forward to those races and we’re looking forward to set him a bike all as well that’s that’s a

Joy bike packing is packing your bike so getting out there enjoing bit of bivan soing on seeing the science of the island what they have to offer but something else wanted to talk about is kind of Lifestyle Fitness over course of the last couple months for anybody’s new

To the channel uh January and February I go home to the family home uh which means different kind of Lifestyle really uh with the rest of the year I’m in a caravan Park and fending for myself looking after myself and over between now and Grand guanci what the plan is to

Do is try and lose a little bit of weight and I’m going to do that by not going to Gregs Monday Tuesday Wednesday and just watch them por portion sizes and not eat too much food and things like that ideally I want to be to lose

Um about a stone between now and then so hopefully 3 or 4 weeks we’ll do it it looks up together on the other day and it was like 13 stone now when I first started getting cycling I was more like 11 and a half even leav Stone so um p a

Lot of weight on over the course last four years I think that’s because it’s cu the diet really I don’t watch The Diet also um nearly completely forgot also now back at the Caravan it means commuting by bike uh either all the way or this time of year generally what I do

I drive halfway and then cycle the rest ends up being 16 17 18 km all that’s going to contribute to my weight loss over the course of the next few weeks or at least that is the Hope there are a couple niggles I want to re on the bike as well take the chain off for some reason I can’t get get out of the bottom gear today so I need to sort out the index in new tire has arrived get that change it’s just to

Match foot one it’s a Schwab Ultra bite so you know most of these things are very simple bance jobs get the tires resealed as well I hope youve enjoyed this uh another short video a bit of Lifestyle catch up check in you don’t want to miss
