Exercise camp on  Gran Canaria

At the 16.02.2012 the pilots starts to tie-up at the airport of Frankfurt and on the very next day, we wanted to travel to Gran Canaria, to absolve the first km´s this year. Sadly our flight was cancelled and so we drove by bus to Stuttgart, just to fly 8h later than to Gran Canaria. What a beginning. Luckily we landed in Las Palmas a few hours later and soon we reached our hotel. On the next day, the first thing we made, was shopping, after that we went to  “ Free Motion” where we booked two MTB´s for the next 3 days. I wanted to try something new and so I booked me a fully, I thought this would be the best choice for that gravel overthere. At least, I had lots of fun...

After that we took a day off and relaxed at the pool, swam in the 18degrees warm Atlantic Ocean or tried to run a bit very easy.

The roads are in a good shape and you got lots of steep uphill sections, we even rode up the Pico de las Nieves. Sadly it was all foggy up there, so we weren´t able to see the neigboured island of Tenerife.


But we were recovered of all damages by the view over the ocean and the ground vegetation.


Finally after 10 days, with less km´s but lots of meters of altitude we had to travel back home. Of course the pilots were still tied-up at the airport of Frankfurt, but we only lost half an hour. But the view over the Alps was fantastic...


I think now it´s time for the spring to come...
