Climbs on the Canary Islands

Wed January 20, 2010, 10:04

I've been riding the roads on the Canary Islands since Thursday with a bunch of my teammates from Liquigas: Pellizotti, Bennati, Smyzd and Oss.

This is my first time here and the weather is really gorgeous. During the day 26-32C so it is like the summer. There is hardly any flat here so this is why I've already ridden over some bigger climbs for the first time in this season. Mallorca was for me as a warm-up but the rides are tougher here. For example, we rode for sever hours on Monday. We choose the climbs from five to ten kilometers but we will definitely try even longer. It is no problem to find an ascent where you pedal thirty kilometers to reach the summit. 
I'm staying here till Monday. Then I'm moving to the Czech Republic where I'll be only on Tuesday and then I'll move to Italy. I'll be training there till January 5 and then we will fly on Tenerife for a training camp where I already was last year in April.
