    Hi Ray,
    I booked with Sports Tours International in the UK. What can I say...I have been to the Pyrenees and the Alps and I had more fun here on fantastic roads in amazing hot weather in March!

    Climbs are just fantastic and with the roads being so quiet and well surfaced you can really enjoy the way down. The climb to the high point on the island gains you more altitude than anything you will find in the Alps or Pyrenees if that’s your thing? Bikes and overall rating 10/10 for me. Will be back. Thanks to all. Simon Amery.

    Good Morning Ray, just thought I'd drop you a line to say a big thank you for a well organised and smooth run holiday. I was a little unsure of what to expect in terms of the skill sets of the riding groups but all riders were adequately supported in respect of the pace water stops etc.
    Apart from the holiday cycling as a normally lone cyclist I also learnt a lot about broader techniques related to the sport i.e. pace-line riding, descending, nutrition and a whole lot more; fantastic!

    Hi Ray,thanks for these photos you’ve sent from our week at the Cicloturista on Gran Canaria– they are nice and good to look at on a cold winter night in Scotland. I’ve still not put my seat and pedals on my road bike the thought of an aluminum bike, the dark, damp, windy and cold seem to have less appeal) after the sun there in Gran Canaria
    Anyway thanks for showing us the island, coordinating our stay and of course getting us into the event! It was a good trip and we have been recommending it to anyone who will listen and not get too jealous! I’m sure you are enjoying the sun and hope to see you again for another break
