A Tenerife Adventure Episode 1 - Mount Teide Volcano

I’ve been planning this adventure for six months, an epic 3 days riding a Royal Enfield 500cc in Tenerife.
Finally, day one has arrived. I arranged to pick the bike up from Easy Rider Tenerife, (easyridertenerife.com ) on the Monday morning. Paper work done, it’s a feeling of excitement and trepidation as William takes me to meet the bike.
There she is a black Royal Enfield Classic 500, with timeless olive green canvas panniers. My grin was giving away how I was feeling.
With the bike started, slipping into first gear, I was off. The Tenerife Adventure Episode 1 - Mount Teide Volcano, was underway.
The ride up was just epic, I was lost for words with the roads and landscape. AND it was sunny and warm at 23 deg, C.
Grab a Sangria or a nice cuppa and let’s ride in the sunshine.
Ride safe, Dave.

    I bought a Classic 500 soon after I retired in 2006. I loved riding over the Black Range in SW New Mexico. Unfortunately, I had a stroke last December and my left leg and arm are still numb, so I'll be riding along with you for a while exclusively. Thanks so much, love your channel!

    Currently watching you enjoy wall to wall sunshine in 24c temperatures whilst out of the corner of my eye I can see my neighbour scraping ice off his car windows..! I know where I’d rather be 🤣🤣.

    Hi Nick, I saw the sun this morning and thought it's bike time, then I saw the frost and thought maybe not. I would go back in a flash. It will be summer here soon, 😁 warm rain 🌧️ Ride safe mate

    Well there's a turnup! You are warmer than us, we used to holiday in Gran Can, but now it's too expensive, as we have to fly to Spain, or UK, then on to Canaries! Beautiful Islands and scenery, and many happy memories, ENJOY, and return refreshed, Cheers from us all in "Chilly Malta!

    Morning Martin, cheers for that. It is a fantastic place and I only scratched the surface with the roads. I've been watching your Spanish trip that looked fantastic. Back to cold riding in England now. I think it's a gentle ride for a coffee today. Stay safe mate, Dave

    😅 I think it's called reality Dave, having said that, the sky through our front window's pretty similar to your sky on Tenerife - until I opened the door - brrrr! Never mind buddy, spring's around the corner. 😎🥶 Btw, I can't help thinking that blue tinge to the rock across there might be copper. Cheers and ride safe. 👍
