I didn't like this ride! 🥵 The WHOLE ISLAND in a day - Gran Canaria 200km!

[@wolfade89]

I keep saying it, I just don’t know how you can do such long rides. Unbelievable effort. Leaving the climbs to last as well, I’d be in bits. Fair play Katie.

[@StevieJD74]

Great riding. You, Greg and Rich are all machines. The way in which your mood changed also made me smile. I must agree that I am a climb pro convert. At one time I didn’t really appreciate it, and would rather not know which climbs were approaching and their length/elevation but now I have it on all the time. I find it just gives me a greater insight, and linked to power allows me to pace my efforts or go all out. Loving these videos, although wishing I was in GC rather than rainy Manchester.

[@kevinscott3656]

Hi miss Katie.. I am from Ontario Canada. I stumbled upon your channel a few months, or so, ago, and have been enjoying watching your adventures. I got out on my new Scott Speedster 20 today for the first time this year. It was -1C, but I was dressed for it. I wasn't hot, but I wasn't cold either.. I was cool and comfortable.

[@n22pdf]

Wahoo does the same ref climbs etc.. and yep it is awesome so see what’s coming up 😊 the ride certainly got much nicer later on 😊 Pete 👍🚴🏻

[@Kzuke]

Fun adventure and that coastline was awesome! Nice job!

[@Francesco_M.]

I couldn't have asked for a better, more galvanising Easter treat! 🐣 You and the guys delivered with ease! At least I now know I'm not the only one swinging round every island I happen to set foot onto. Grateful to have witnessed a fulfilling day out in GC from dusk till dawn; never did I take these for granted! 😊🙂 🌼 👋👋 =]

[@KatieKookaburra]

Happy holidays!

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Well done Katie & amigos Great fact on that tunnel's "light show" Thanks for sharing the Grand Circular Tour of Gran Canaria 🎵 Round your way the birds are singing Round your way the sun shines bright 🎵 ☀️ 🦅 ❤ ⛰ 🌵

[@lenwilkinson8541]

Great video, and the best part is when you show your vulnerability to enjoyment and otherwise. We all love you.

[@erickasanmoerawi6120]

❤Garmin too, I have the same duo pedal and the edge 1040 solar ❤

[@johnnyw8555]

Great ride and video - I think the climb from San Nicolas in the heat has to be one of the hardest things I've done on a bike, even though its is fairly short - as a pasty-white celt, it probably should be done in cooler temps - well done - keep up the great content

[@matt46vale]

The skies a little blown out. Many helpful tips in this video and I have to agree the South does look the best

[@JohnMayo-n6e]

Great video, those tunnel cyclists indicators are brilliant. I don’t think we have them anywhere in Australia.

[@ecopennylife]

Fantastic riding you three 😮 I love my Garmin Venu SQ watch, reliable tracking for long rides & bushwalks 😍

[@thestonebiker5316]

Your enthusiasm for hills is nuts lol.I’m not quite fit enough to do this ride yet,well done….🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼

[@jimpeyton1459]

Hard day in the saddle. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnchapman2329]

Best of luck and blessings on your journey you have to do you and if you decide to stop you know your body and mind

[@DavidBigandt]

there's one of those bicycle in the tunnel signs with the crosswalk button you press near Los Angeles

[@job9902]

I love/hate climbpro, on those days when you're struggling up a red sector and a black comes up above😖, but generally it's great. Hadn't realised you can preview all the climbs on a route, must check that out. Can't fault the Rally pedals either (except price), if you're a data junkie, the level of info from a double sided set is superb

[@keithwiggins4987]

Just did a Gran Canaria route on @Rouvy; I was so inspired from the scenery. :)

[@aquilafhionnlaigh4490]

I’ll have to look at the Garmin power suggestion, sounds like a cool feature.

[@bruceritchie7613]

I grabbed this route a while ago when you rode it, looks to be a nice route

[@secretagent86]

Wow the tunnel messages are fabulous

[@secretagent86]

I have a garmin explore 2. It is nice for me… one of my two bikes has a single sided power meter.. but honestly i like the cadence meter feature more than the power.

[@DustySingletrack]

Great video - love the Canaries for cycling. You are a lens licking nutter though 😅

[@vincentray2589]

So good to see you , take care😎

[@wdf697]

On my last ride my Garmin Climb Pro wasn't working. I almost quit. It turned out the map hadn't properly downloaded. Thankfully, I downloaded it again and it started working. 😮

[@nicholascowen]

Not having climb pro on a new climb is like being at work all day and not knowing what time it is.

[@wdf697]

I had a meltdown when mine stopped working on a recent ride. 😂

[@ihbcsomerset6966]

Katie, I see you have fairly narrow tyres (25mm?) - you haven’t been enticed by the recent fashion for using wide tyres? I suppose it’s related to you favouring rim brakes rather than disc?

[@christophecontant4856]

Big ride with mates congrats 😁👍

[@HamRadio200]

Come ride with us in August for the Hotter N Hell 100 mile ride in Texas!

[@erikmmartens]

Was there a reason to ride around the island counter clockwise? I've planned a similar route to ride one day but clockwise. There seems to be some parts on the motorway and one way roads which force slight detours that could be avoided, but then you get additional elevation. But no matter which way round, you'll win some and loose some of these "obstacles"...

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Agree climbPro unreal, specially for me in the Lake District 😅

[@GPSKULING]

This is a great ride, i did it 3 times last in 2013.

[@stephalete]

How do you record? Is it on a phone and do you just hold it or are you using some kind of camera that’s attached to you/the bike?

[@KatieKookaburra]

GoPro :)

[@veriest1]

Fantastic!

[@stephalete]

When you do such long hilly rides, how often do you stop for food? Also what do you fuel up on ?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Dates. And depending how hilly / hot stop for a top up every few hours. Or before we go through an area we know we can’t get food / drink :)

[@lydiagould3090]

Yeah, much too urban, until you got to the mountains! Great achievement tho'!

[@kevinlyon9501]

Mmmm tasty camera, well you have to ride through some rough bits before you get to the good bits.

[@andygoldensixties4201]

You mean you didn't like the ride "before" doing it (because your recovery from the big climb was not total maybe) ? I ask so, because you look so happy and joyous in doing it and after, as if you take energy from the challenges you face, which is great

[@RikRok75]

Now we know everything about Garmin 😂

[@malcontent_1]

Oooph, big day KB

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

An excellent tour of the island … ta very much! Glad you lucked out with the weather … that makes a big difference. 🚴‍♂️⛰️🌞

[@johnroper7776]

I suspect that you have answered this question before, but why, as someone from the UK, do you use metric units rather than Imperial? I can maybe understand when you are riding in Europe but surely in UK you are constantly having to mentally convert distances on road signs. I know I'm from the pre metric generation so don't shout at me😂.

[@CoasterJames]

Random question. Do you use android or apple? I think Garmin is missing the apple simplicity

[@KatieKookaburra]

Apple :)

[@Antonio-ti2he]

What kind of bike do you have? Would you recommend it?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Riding the Winspace SLC 2.0 out here. Love it!

[@Antonio-ti2he]

@@KatieKookaburra Thank you for the reply.

[@statom985]

What did you eat before and during the ride ?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Smoothie, dates, sugar water. Oh and a load of bananas :)

[@Sirissssss]

This is unrelated. But how does one take care of disk brakes without going to a shop mechanic.

[@meneersjonnie]

Wow🍀🙏

[@jakecollins6097]

I have loved your channel over the years, and we met once half way up Hardnott Pass, but maybe you might want to think about how much advertising you do ratio wise with your vids? I understand your commitments but more content, less advertising might be a mantra for the future? Maybe you need to go to places you've not been before? I really do not want to criticise as you are such an inspirational person, but I feel you are tired of the whole KZbin thing. Suggestion... Set yourself different goals and film them... the love will return!!!!!! Still an amazing channel xxx

[@Yahshuah]

[@kevinmcbride6961]

Have been following you for years but the Garmin sponsorship is killing your channel

[@leightondavies8884]

Just purchased some R100 pedals after watching this ( pitty your not on commission 🥹) I’m taking 2 Bikes to the Dolomites this summer - do you need to recalibrate when swapping them over , or just swap em’?
