So, we made our way to Lanzerote in a machine built by Mr. Boing to follow the signs. When we arrived I borrowed me a bike after two rainy days. This wasn´t very easy, because it wasn´t only me who had the dreams of strange signs, but many other triathletes as well. So, finally I got a bike from Lanzerote-Bikes and made my way to follow the signs.

I made my way thru deserts of lava…

Passing wind mills, and everybody knew, they´re everywhere, where is wind, and there were lots of him.

passing stormy coast shores

and savage figures

There´s also almost the same kind of ball on Mallorca

I´ve been also in Nazareth...

There were an ivy running circuit in the hotel, about 5x 150m...J

We also had a pool about 40m, in the seperated back part.

After I found all signs of the island with a lot of front wind and many up hill parts, as well with front wind, I finally found some time to relax under palm trees

another Pirate relaxed himself by riding slipstream, not a bad idea,but the main thing is, let´s hope he saw all the signs as well…

We were accommodated in the Hotel Beatriz Costa & Spa in Costa Teguise. The hotel is very quiet, the food was allright. The rooms are quite big and the floor is covered with a sound absorbing carpet. It was only 1km to the next town, by cab about 2,50€ or by a free hotel bus. You could swim in the 40m hotel pool or in the ocean( with wetsuit) Also the starting point for the bike tours was allright ( To rent by Lanzerote-Bikes : Felt or at the Bike-Station : Scott). We had mostly good asphalt, sometimes a little bit bumpy. We had a good running course by the water to Arrecife, about 16km and to the other direction, just pure nature,but to extend the course, not bad.
