We got back Friday PM after another seamless airport/flight from Jet2. All straightforward, on time, no dramas. Perfect. When we landed I was pleasantly surprised at the warm 16 degs weather. In fact, in the traffic on the M42, the sun was beating down on me so hard in the front seat of our taxi, … Continue reading Lanzarote Round-Up
After a day off, I’d planned yesterday’s ride to be the last main one of the holiday. The two previous days had seen winds get up which is common in the Canary Islands.

It was here we … Continue reading Easy Spin
After what seems like months of illness and injury, I finally got away on holiday with Sally yesterday to Costa Teguise, Lanzarote. The back and breathing are now fixed and the antibiotics have kicked my ear infection into touch. I’m healthy again. We’ve been firm fans of Fuerteventura, it’s Canary Island sister to the south, … Continue reading Easy Does It
