I visited Tenerife last summer for a holiday and enjoyed 3 excellent days mountain biking. It was a nice compromise as the wife likes to sunbathe, but I don't so I organised 3 days guided riding over the fortnight. If anyone is going to Tenerife with the other half or the family it is well worth trying to sneak a day (or 3!) out on the bike. I arranged eveything through daz at lavatrax and all ran smoothly. I was collected and returned from my hotel and bike hire was included for around 55 euros for a full day. Excellent value and great riding.

Great idea! Will bear this in mind if i visit Tenerife again. 'Lavatrax' though? Sounds to me like it should be a laxative.

I guessing its called lavatrax due to it being a volcanic island. Its dry as a bone but you come back from the ride black as the ace of spades due to riding on volcanic dust.  |

Cool. I'd thought about Spain but never Tenerife. Where abouts in Tenerife Mike?

I stayed in Los Cristianos, but they will pick you up from anywhere within reason on the south of the island. The tour guide lived in a town called El Madano (think thats how it was spelt) and there was also a mtb shop there.

I've been to Playa de las Americas but didn't have a bike anywhere near me! Don't remember half of the holiday.
Seriously though I need to take a week or two's vacation mtb'ing next year.
