A Cyclist’s Life in Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Hello, I completed a Doctorate in Materials Science, at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. My background is science, but my passion is cycling & bicycles. I have travelled extensively around the world and finally settled down on a Spanish Volcanic Island located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Africa (Tenerife). Its about the life of an ex-research scientist who now runs a pro bike hire business in one of the most extreme training zones on the planet... a place where flat roads don't exist. Also, this place could not possibly be located further from my original home in Sydney; its the antipode of Sydney. This is blog is dedicated to my life integration in this new culture. I hope you can stop by and take a look- Thanks, Leslie.

Hi! I wish I'd found this site last year, as I had two friends over who are cycling enthusiasts. I did manage to organise a ride down Mount Teide, which terrified them, but has formed one of those memories that will never fade away! When they come again - hopefully later this year, I will be in touch for some suggestions.
