We flew to the island of Gran Canaria for two days of exploration, riding and photography with Attaquer for the New Frontiers: Gran Canaria cycling kit campaign. The scenery here really is on another level...
A big thank you to Attaquer for making this trip possible.

Gran Canaria is part of the Canary Islands, a chain of Spanish islands off the coast of Africa. It is a popular cycling destination for amateur and pro cyclists alike with teams like Bahrain-Victorious and INEOS-Grenadiers bringing their pro cyclists here for training before races such as the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France. Riders like Jack Haig, Wout Pouls, Dylan Van Baarle, Gerraint Thomas, Chris Froome, Wout Van Aert, Tom Pidcock and others use Gran Canaria for pre-season winter riding and training.

Thanks so much Bob. This was one of the most enjoyable videos to make but one of my least watched this year. Really stoked you’ve got something out of it! 🙏🏼

My first international bike trip was GC back in 2019 and loved every pedal stroke. Loved it so much that in September of the same year I went with Thomson bicycle tours to mainland Spain to ride some of the Vuelta and watch some of the race. UNFORTUNATELY I crashed on wet RR tracks just 5k into the first day of riding and woke up in a hospital 30 mins away in Santander and stayed 5 days with 3 brain bleeds. The hard thing to get over, the ambulance guys cut off my Santini jersey.... Fulkerson. A few years and several surgeries and I'm getting back on the horse in Mallorca April 15...2023. But can it beat Gran Canaria ? Let's hope so. Btw, cool sleeves

Thanks for sharing this one! Really interesting to see the BTS of a photo shoot and pics are golden, I'll keep that "harsh light" photos idea, merci!

That scenery is amazing. I can see where that would be challenging for you, cause you’re always used to doing the photography. I bet it all came off amazing. Cheers

To this day I don’t understand flights being “overbooked”. If you have booked, you should have a seat with your name on it.

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I’m the same. It still blows my mind they’re allowed to do this and just assume it’s fine. It wasn’t just us either..there were 3 others who also weren’t allowed on. Wild.

Wow, gorgeous. What kind of gradients there? Looks quite steep.

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

It varies but some climbs get super steep..12-15% in parts. But lots around 6-7% consistently which is super nice.

Tristan - curious to know what brake pads you run on the bmc, considering you do a fair bit of climbing. I'm on organic resin sram ones, and they don't last me more than ~ 6 months and I don't even live in a mountainous area!

@callanrobison2674 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure what pads Tristan uses (or myself to be fair), but I only seem to get about 2000-2500km out of pads on my SRAM Rival brakes. Used to get double that on Ultegra

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

I’m using the stock Shimano pads that came with my Dura-Ace 9200. I believe they’re the metallic ones. I’ve done 5300k’s on the bike and ~80,000m climbing and haven’t changed them yet, although I can feel the front are beginning to get a little thin. Having said this I’m 61.5kg and haven’t done a lot of steep descending where I’ve been braking super hard.
