i know i should probably email a few places online but i'm in the following situation:
we're going to Lanzarote for a week's family holiday in early Novermber and i've been told i'm allowed a day's biking. so i wondered if anyone knew, or could recommend, somewhere that would do a day's guided touring. something a bit like the peaks would be ideal! i won't be taking my own bike, so would need to hire one whilst there too...
so, any recommendations?
Anyone?
Too rough and finding a guide was difficult, I gave up and did a road ride.
Yep the road riding is better.
Yes I wasn't going to say anything because I've been to Lanza half a dozen times and never really contemplated riding off road: the terrain is way too volcanic/sandy for any decent riding as far as I can see, but I could be wrong...
hmmm... i shall not be beaten!!! ha!
thanks anyway guys

i've actually got that site bookmarked David... have you any experience of them?
i'm probably going to fire a few emails off today...
IT's a nice day out without being terribly technical. Think Fireroads rather than trailcentres. But the Fireroads are volcanic stones/rocks... move about a lot, but have epic grip.

No experience of them, have looked into riding there as a friend lives near La Manga, these were the company he suggested
ah, good to know, thanks again
MY guide was a German fella, spoke great English... but for the life of me I can't recall the name of the company.

Beware... they run their brake continental style... and don't be tempted to watch a vid clip where blokey lowers his seat post using the QR, the do it on a road in the villages... you will go over the bars and hurt yourself LOL.
