I had originally booked the ride with a road bike, but quickly realised on the day that I was going to be more confortable with a mountain/hybrid bike (as that's what I am used to), so I was able to switch.
We took off, then shortly afterward returned to switch to an e-bike!
It was a bit embarassing, but I just didn't have the fitness to handle to steep climbs around Puerto de la Cruz these days.
Jesper was cool about it and we restarted the trip on e-bikes.
It was a great day for the ride and the views rewarded the effort.
Tip: if you aren't accustomed to hill climbing, then strongly consider an e-bike.
