So the pictures are finally in. Sorry they took so long to post.
A look back over T1
Thank you Mom and Dad!!!!
Looking a bit windy, just 15minutes into the ride
A look towards the Fire Mountains en route to El Golfo
The salt flats near El Golfo - on a beautiful winding road with 50 cyclists in view ahead
The same winding road - second only to the climb to Mirador Del Rio as my favorite of the race.
A really cool outcropping just out of El Golfo - still on that cool road.
Greeting at the start of the climb to the Fire Mountains - Timanfaya Man
Lava Lava, Everywhere!
A look back from the top of the climb to the Fire Mountains - a long straight climb
By a fan at the same spot
Typical view over the center of the island. Volcanoes everywhere, clouds always in the distance but rarely overhead. Not a tree in sight (still).
Coming into Tequise. Coffee ahead!
My Barista. Thank you so much!
Not a tree to be found on route to Famara
The Famara Cliffs becoming visible!
The calm before the climb to Mirador del Haria
Looking back to where I took the photo above (center in the distance)
Entering Los Valles - we will climb up the valley.
The clouds definitively end as the climbing definitively begins
THE descent of the day, coming down off Mirador de Haria. Note the building in the center
Standing at that building, looking up at 2 switchbacks, and down the next. One more to go after that.
Climbing out of Haria - all the buildings on the island were white
My personal photographers en route to Mirador Del Rio

From the van on one side of the climb to Mirador del Rio (on the rock-wall lined, 1.5-lane road)
Out the van the other way to Mirador Del Rio on the road of IM Lanzarote
Yes, it really is an amazing road from atop 1000+ft cliffs
Looking the other way off the cliffs...
Last picture of the camera: A big flag, pretty much straight out. Yup - it was windy.
But finally, after some fighting, the end is in sight.
Thank you for following!
