Just did the climb on January 13th 2019. From the Free Motion bike shop in Los Cristianos to the lower cable car station, which is the highest point of the road, my time was 4 hours and 25 minutes. I could have done a little bit better but I decided to stay with a fellow cyclist I met at the bike rental. Anyway, it was the hardest ride ever. Almost 50 kilometers of continuous uphill. And I did that with flat pedals and running shoes because I was so dumb I forgot my SPD shoes at home. The descent was amazing although not as dangerous as the Transfagarasan highway in Romania, in my opinion. Or the TransBucegi descent from Romania too.

There's a reason why Colombian cyclists are so good! Living above 2600 meters of altitude and 40+km climbs are nothing special... I would love to climb Mount Teide one day though, have never climbed up to a volcano :)

When I did teide, then bit after hotel to cable lift looked like downhill while it actually was uphill^^ probably just really tired. P.s You can get tap water also in cable lift station toilet.

Hard climb, not for the casual. Its 40 km uphill after all. Also, the traffic makes it less enjoyable, the roads are pretty crowded, specially at the lower parts. Upper sections can get pretty dangerous, when there are buses trying to make an overtake on small roads. Wish they made an extra road for bikes only next to the main road. Ofcourse the nature is very beautiful, stunning views, the upper part is such a refreshment.

What chainring size would be recommended there for a beginner who does only 200 watts on the gym bike ? seems like 53/39 that comes with many road bikes would not work.

Hi Ollie, i want to climb mt teide, and wondering how fit you need to be. I've only ridden stuff such as way of the roses, buttertubs, oxnop, fleet moss, trough of bowland, which i found ok, but not a walk over.

It's hilarious how you guys pronounce Teide. It's certainly not Tidy. Come on, if you climb it, at least get its name right.
