Ultyguy - Of the 4 possible ascents up to Teide you picked the worst 🤪 Depressing and boring at best it is. YMMV

I actually like it especially since the resurfacing. Anyways I stay in Alcala so the other options aren’t very compatible with getting in the most vert + family time. I’ll have Saturday pm to my own and will try and go from Santa Cruz which is prob my fav.

Did the guy behind you make it out of the turn? That's a pretty big lean he's got going there!

It’s a hairpin and he looks to be at a 65ish degree angle...certainly not anything to worry about at decent speed. I’m only more upright because I’m in the outside lane trying to get one more pedal rotation in. I also took a chunk out of my left Assioma by pedaling out of the turn a moment too early when laps were speeding up later in the race.
