I mentioned the peak of Cruz de Gala in the north west of Tenerife, in the last post. Well, here are some more photos from around the area (and other parts of the Canary Islands), taken by folks fit enough (or mad enough, depending on your opinion) to cycle up some of our vertiginous inclines. It never occurred to me that this could be an "extreme sport".

They say, "Few maps mark this dramatic steep road to the Cruz de Gala peak, altitude 1,354 m. It starts at the Puerto de Erjos (1,117 m) in north-western Tenerife. The volcanic cone of Mount Teide can be seen when looking east."
