A mate and I have a few days holiday to use up before the end of the year and we're looking at spending 5 days somewhere sunny on road bikes. It can be either a point to point tour or day rides from a central base. What can you recommend?
Suggestions (that haven't been investigated) so far have been:
Madeira
Morocco
Canary Isles
Suggested locations for the above or new destinations welcome.
Cheap flights to Malaga at that time of year.
Second the malaga idea. Can either hug the coast or head for some hills inland. Sierra Nevada cycling would be a good outfit to use of you wanted guiding.
Girona is a great place to base yourself, and there's a good bike hire shop too. Not sure what the climate would be like in December though - somewhere further south might be warmer/drier.
Average December temperatures in Malaga look to be around 14 (which is still decent cycling weather) but the other options look to be around 19 or 20 so we think it's worth travelling a bit further unless there isn't any decent riding to he had.
Flights to Marrakech are cheap (£55 return before all the bike & baggage fees).
Tenerife/Lanzarote? Good enough for the pro's.
