GCN's Epic Rides | Ep.1 Gran Canaria

We recently had the opportunity to come up with a ride that you should do before you die. But we didn’t want to take you to Mt Ventoux, or the Stelvio, we wanted to show you somewhere you might never have thought about riding, but that will blow your mind. Like Gran Canaria.

Our bucket list ride is a mix of tough climbs, sinuous descents, and ridiculously perfect road surfaces, all surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Gran Canaria. Also, as far as we're concerned a ride cannot be considered for a bucket list ride if it's not got a number of cafe stops, which of course ours features.
