Hardy, Bleedin' Har Har!
I've cycled in the Calpe region, Mallorca , Tenerife and Gran Canaria. As the others have said Mallorca offers all the options of pan flat days or epic climbs. Calpe was great - I stayed in Callosa d'en Saria with a company called CHS and Nozad the host was great and I'd imagine would be possible to book a one person room and join in with other cyclists he has staying - it's a villa for up to 10 people. I went there in late February and must admit we got a cold week with a few flurries of snow in the hills.Looks nice down there
I'd probably choose to hire a bike too, so may see if I can find a company that organises rides and bike hire. Just never done anything like this before so not sure where to start

Words cannot describe just how jealous I am about these trips - even without ever seeing that police woman! Amazing!
When you get old like us, you'll get to go on some trips too ...
We only go for the warm weather on our old joints
Carl, Alberto and Marcos are good mates of mine. The tours they do are excellent. For you I'd suggest the Volcano tour. Very much up your street in capabilities. Meet lots of new riders. Socialize in the evening over dinner. The Paradise hotel is the usual hotel.
Mention me and see your price double
. No you couldn't be in better hands. Feb/March good time, more daylight and not sumner hot 
.If you want me to message Marcos/Alberto to do introductions dont hesitate to ask

Booked the family in for the “big bike bash” over the August bank holiday weekend.
Three nights of camping with a beer festival and live music, and three days of silly/fun biking events - lake diving, balance bike racing, longest wheelie/track stand, hill climb with kids shooting water pistols at you etc.
Apparently really good family fun according to someone we know who went last year, and run for charity 👍

Im no longer a Ventoop virgin
I set a marker for you lot, to show what getting fat. old and slow does to riding up ruddy big mountains -even simulated ones. 😄
Seriously, well slightly. I didn't fade, kept and nice high cadence, and rode it with a negative split 2hr15 @209W. I realise its not going to set any records. I bet Lee did sub hour
All on the back of my biggest leg weights session yesterday. Pleased with my self

I haven't tried it yet. I've downloaded it and think I've configured it ok - hopefully give it a bash this afternoon.
I think GPLama has done a vid on it but I've not seen it yet.
