Road biking on Gran Canaria:
The island has scenic coast roads and many mountain roads with high peaks, deep valleys, long climbs and fast descents - equally suited for pros, amateurs and hobby riders. Spectacular scenery, in combination with an ‘eternal summer’, makes for amazing cycling adventures all year round. Classic routes like "Pico de las Nieves", "Serenity-Tauro Pass" and "Valley of the Tears" are both challenging and rewarding experiences for all cyclists alike. Choose your tour, select your level and join us for what will hopefully be #theperfectride! (You can switch the levels by clicking the level drop-down menu on the Tour Overview tab.)
Average daily mileage: 55-90 km
Daily elevation: 650m up to 1.600m
Average speed: 18-22 km/h
Our Cappuccino Road Tours offer an enjoyable experience for those who want to go for rides that are focussed more on the social aspect of group riding. Furthermore, we allow plenty of time for taking in the unique Gran Canarian nature and spectacular scenery, may that be mountains, coastline or villages. However, there are still a few challenges to overcome on every ride. Even if the pace is relatively slow, the island is anything but flat, and together we’ll conquer the hills and descents that come our way!
Average daily mileage: 65-100km
Daily elevation: 1.100m up to 2.600m
Average speed: 22-26 km/h
Our Hobby Road Tours are for riders who are used to being in the saddle for at least 2.5 hours between longer breaks. Having previous experience with cycling in a group is recommended. As we venture further on the island, we'll face a few tougher and longer climbs. The pace will be moderate but steady. Fear not, we will take regular breaks for refuelling and taking photos of the spectacular scenery. Let’s go!
Average daily mileage: 70-105 km
Daily elevation: 1.100m up to 2.600m
Average speed: 24-28 km/h
Our Sport Road Tours are for the experienced rider, who is used to long hours in the saddle, riding in a group, and can hold a faster and more consistent pace on longer climbs. We will occasionally stop to take in the views, snap a photo and fill up our bottles, as well as having a longer mid-ride break. Challenge yourself and join us for a memorable ride!
Technical Difficulty (TD) & Fitness Level (FL) Ratings
TD0 (Very easy) - TD0 are routes without any particular difficulties. They run mostly on unsealed roads or paths on a natural surface with good grip, or compact gravel. Steps, rocks or roots are not to be expected. The gradient will be slight to moderate, turns are not tight. These roads/ trails can generally be ridden even without any particular technical MTB skills.
TD1 (Easy) - On TD1 routes, you will have to ride over smaller obstacles such as flat roots and small stones/rocks. Very often you'll find that the odd gulley or erosion damage is the reason for this difficulty rating. The surface may not always be firm. The gradient would have a maximum of 40%. The turns are generally wide. TD1 routes will require basic technical MTB skills and constant attention. The trickier passages call for dosed breaking and body displacement. They should generally be ridden in a standing position. Obstacles can generally be rolled over.
TD2 (Somewhat difficult) - TD2 routes often contain larger roots and stones/rocks. The surface is frequently loose. Steps can be expected. Often there are narrow/tight turns and the gradient can be up to 70% in places. The obstacles require body displacement to be successfully ridden. Readiness to break at all times and the ability to shift your centre of gravity are necessary techniques, as well as the ability to regulate the pressure of your breaking and hold permanent body tension.
TD3 (Difficult) - Blocked singletrack with larger boulders, tricky rock gardens and/or root passages can be encountered on TD3 routes. There are often higher steps, tight hairpin turns and tricky traverses. The opportunities for relaxed rolling are rare. The surface is often very slippery due to loose materials. A gradient of over 70% is not unusual. Sections with this difficulty rating require you to have very good bike handling skills and unbroken concentration. Exact breaking and a very good sense of balance is required.
TD4 (Very difficult) - TD4 routes include very steep and blocked singletrack, with large boulders, challenging rockgardens and/or demanding root passages, as well as frequently loose scree. Very steep slopes, narrow hairpin turns and steps on which the cogs unavoidably touch are frequent features on TD4 routes. In order to safely ride this category route, techniques such as being able to move the front and back wheels sideways (e.g. in hairpins) are absolutely essential, as well as outstanding breaking technique and balance. Even carrying a bike up such passages is often not free from dangers.
TD5 (Extremely difficult) - TD5 routes are characterised by blocked terrain with counter climbs, scree slopes and severe erosion, extremely narrow and tight turns, multiple obstacles (e.g. fallen trees) – frequently in extreme steepness (cliffs). Very little if any breaking time. Obstacles may at times need to be ridden in combination, and many of them have to be jumped over. Hairpins are so tight that moving the wheels sideways is hardly possible, even carrying the bike would be almost impossible as you need your hands to hold on, or even climb."
Fitness Level (FL) scale for MTB & eMTB
Consider all factors and identify which level best describes your current MTB riding routine. The scale is merely a guide. If you are unsure of which level to choose, please speak to any of our staff, they will be happy to assist you in making the right choice.
Basic You ride an MTB once a week, in general for at least an hour each time, on mixed surfaces, including a few short hills.
Medium You ride an MTB twice a week, in general for at least a couple of hours each time, on mixed surfaces, including a few long hills.
High You ride an MTB ˃2 times per week, in general for at least a couple of hours each time, on mixed surfaces, including long hills.
General MTB
Our MTB tours are mainly designed for fit and experienced offroad riders. Our current tours have a distinct cross-country flavour and all of them include a few longer, tougher climbs. The routes are a great mix of broken dirt roads and singletrack, amongst mountains, valleys and along the southern coastline. Some sections of winding asphalt roads do exist, mainly as connections between the various riding areas. Furthermore, all the routes have some technically challenging sections (T2 and/or T3) which require some extra focus and effort. In general however, it is the elevation that makes these rides ‘advanced’, more than the technical difficulty. Join us on these great mountain bike adventures that showcase the hidden offroad gems of south-central Gran Canaria. Let’s GO!
This section explains each difficulty rating in more detail, and the necessary technical skills required. It assumes that the riding conditions (light, weather, ground etc.) are ideal.

General e-MTB
Our e-MTB tours are well suited for MTB riders who have good bike handling skills, but don’t necessarily want to push themselves too hard on the longer, tougher climbs. The routes are a great mix of broken dirt roads and singletrack, amongst mountains, valleys and along the southern coastline. Some sections of winding asphalt roads do exist, mainly as connections between the various riding areas. Furthermore, all the routes have some technically challenging sections (T2 and/or T3) which require some extra focus and effort. In general however, it is the elevation that makes these rides ‘advanced’, more than the technical difficulty, but with our great e-MTB’s it’s pure joy! Join us on these great mountain bike adventures that showcase the hidden offroad gems of south-central Gran Canaria. Let’s GO!

Once we have completed check-in at the Free Motion Bikecenter in Playa del Inglés, we load up and transfer ourselves and our eTrekking bikes along the coast to our starting point, just outside the town Ingenio. We start this eTrekking tour by making our way through the unique and beautiful valley of Guayadeque. We climb up towards the end of the road and enjoy the spectacular views on offer.
After the descent, we make a short stop at the Guayadeque Museum, before heading into the picturesque town of Agüimes. Here we will enjoy a tapas lunch of local Canarian culinary specialities. Once refreshed, we start pedalling gently down towards the coast and the town of Vecindario. Passing through a few of the local neighbourhoods, we make our way on to the coast road back to Playa del Inglés and the end of the day’s tour and activities.This is an exciting ride with a couple of longer climbs that require a bit of effort.
