The Pilancones Expedition - Mountain bike excursion on Gran Canaria

Amazing mountain views, flowing dirt roads and a few singletrack challenges along the way!

After restoring our energy levels, we begin the second part of the MTB tour. First, we descend back towards the Chira dam, on a fast-paced, winding tarmac road. We now encounter a few technical MTB challenges as we venture to the northern side of the lake. We then ride across the dam wall and commence the climb back into Pilancones Nature Park. However, this climb is on a different road to the one we came down on. We keep following this dirt road through the Park, mixing a few steady climbs with exhilarating descents, until we reach our original starting point. As we make our way back to the Free Motion Hub in Playa del Inglés, it's mainly downhill towards the coast. However, there are a few cheeky climbs thrown into the mix too. Here, we conclude today’s MTB adventure with some well-deserved refreshments!
