Climbing and climbing - the valley of Tabayesco is it worth to make it 2 times.

You start similar to Tour 1 and just before Arrieta you take the little road to Tabayesco to the left. There you can take a quick look at your watch. The following climb is the best you will find on Lanzarote. The climb is never to hard but steady, goes through spectacular landscape, has very few traffic and - if you reach the top under 30 minutes you made a good ride.

Reaching Haria you head down to Arrieta - almost flying down to the sea.Yet you are ready for a second try. You will have perfect training conditions in Tabayesco - you can take it more easy and enjoy the scenery on the first and on the second run you can try to break your mark - but keep in mind that another climb will follow directly afterwards.

The second time reaching the top of Tabayesco you head left - climbing up to the Mirador de Haria - you know this climb already from Tour 1. Reaching the top you made 600 meters of climb in one section - so enjoy yourself and make a last view down to the beautiful valley of Haria and then - let it roll.

You can either follow from here to Teguise, Tahiche and Costa Teguise like on Tour 1 - or you take the little road over El Mojon - which is quite bumpy but another different way - and nearly without traffic. If you passed the quarry you can go to the left and after a short section of more than bad road you can take the new road back to Costa Teguise - or you leave the saddle and cross directly to the new road.
