Funnily enough I'm booked on a flight to Fuerteventura in a week's time, so this video's really built my stoke. Quick question as it's the first time flying with my MTB, the say to deflate tyres for the flight, do I need to take pressure out my shocks?

I'd recommend La Palma in the Canary Islands for MTB, it's got incredible trails and never busy and the island needs tourism especially now due to the impact from the volcanic eruption there in 2021!

Fuerteventura is imho the most underestimated island of the canaries. Just built different. Been there first in 2009 with my pg wing for ground training and to chill out. Loved it. Might do a revisit on bike as well. Thx.

Come to Ainsa in Northern Spain. Happy to show you around.

Looked like some fun riding, but I'll second the suggestion of La Palma. I think you may enjoy the trails there more, they are incredible. My son and I got an incredible tour from the team at MountainRide La Palma, best day on the bike ever. I was just watching the footage from Trans Madeira, and the trails we rode in La Palma look very similar to the epic stages on Madeira.

I can't go around the corner for what they went to another country for. Props to the camera guy!!!! Great job.

I did your ride solo in reverse recently. Followed a route from Garmin which took me over the full length of that soft sand at the beginning 🤣! It was tough going, probably would have bailed to the road too if it was at the end of my ride. Great content Rich, check out a Sur-ron tour with Marc next time you visit, they're a hoot!

Do you guys want to pop over to New Zealand for some “winter sun” . I’m in Wanaka on the South Island, we some epic riding to suit all levels. Everything from serious down hill to gravel epics- I’d love to show you around!

Haha, people still end up in the sand dunes in the NW of Fuerte! Thanks Komoot, that road is undoable…. 😂

Looks amazing, the scenery, the trails, the weather, love it, maybe i will go there one day, definitely a great way to ride in winter if it is too cold at home. I saw you got your bike on the plane in a bag, a more detailed video on how to transport the bike via plane/train would be great and what we need for that, what needs disassembling and the tools/protection needed to safely transport the bike and lastly is it safe and how expensive was it? Thanks, that garmin 1040 was it? its on my to buy list since using the phone with Strava is stressing my battery a bit too much... Thank you for the video!

Beautiful Cyclo Cross ride with a beautiful MTB.🤣🤣🤣

Rich, you look so bad ass with your hair cut. Canary Island's fit it too. Rock on!! And you saved a goat.

Arizona USA, there are both deserts and forests there. In fact the state of Arizona alone is bigger than the entire UK combined.

Fuerteventura is great but you really need reinforced sidewalls on your tyres!

How does bike storage work at a hotel? do you take the bike up to the room?

Ooo i was there last week😂😂! Where are you riding?

I want me some of this action

Not connecting ur garmin to ur phone when riding makes a significant difference to garmins battery. Then just connect for a few mins once finished riding to upload ride.

Of course you sliced your tyre. You are riding Vittoria skin wall, they puncture just by someone looking at them. Great ride however! What kind of transport solution are you using to ensure a high end bike arrives safely at your destination?

and madeira island next?

How much was the bike on the plane rich???

Nice, good job with that goat !! Imagine more than 20ºC? In winter ... sun ... even for a continental Spanish that is a dream in winter ... well I live in the north so no sun today ... and no sun in the week end but nice scenery. Yellow has gone, green is back.

Those vittoria race tires are s*it, I had them until puncturing the sidewall just by dropping a bike on some pointy root. XC-Trail version is amazing tbh, but that tanwall XC-Race never again!

1040 solar in GB... I don't think so ;-)

Wonder how much they charged you to bring your bike?

Rich in "Room 101"... Was that intentional?

It’s not “dried up larva”, it’s solidified larva…

Bald is beautiful 👍

Where’s the price breakdown?

Surely the bike bag was another £90 return on easyJet? How they can charge more for hold luggage than a seated passenger is beyond me.
