Views: 968

Feared by all that visit Gran Canaria, Valley of the Tears leaves little to the imagination with its wickedly steep gradients, hostile landscapes and a seemingly endless road that’ll suck all the moisture from your body as you tackle its unforgiving slopes. Up for the challenge? Of course you are!

Thanks to Wahoo, Exposure Lights and Free-Motion, our Canary Islands experts, for supporting this video.

The Col Collective cycling kit is back online and available to purchase, so if you’re interested in supporting the channel (and looking like a rockstar out on the road) then take a look here.

If you enjoyed this vid then please do me a solid and like, comment, share and subscribe or become a superfan and make a donation on YouTube.
