Club La Santa invites you to join the mountain bike week with Claus Jørgensen & Christian Nielsen. This will be a great opportunity to discover new places off the beaten track on the volcanic island of Lanzarote. The week is for everybody, whether you are just biking for fun or an experienced mountain biker.

However, we do expect you to have certain knowledge of mountain biking (min. 1 year of experience), and that you are willing to take up the challenges of the Lanzarote landscape where lava, sand and the sun can test even the strongest rider.

The training

You will bike along the coast on a combination of dirt tracks, tarmac roads, sand and rocks under the supervision and guidance of Claus and Christian. You will bike through the lava fields and towards Famara, Teguise and down south where you will pass the Fire Mountains. Over the course of the week, you will be taken over most of the island enjoying many spectacular views along the way.

The routes will vary in length each day (betweeen 2 and 6 hours) offering diverse routes with various levels of difficulty. During the rides there will be technical exercises – for example, up and down hill exercises, as demonstrated in the programme opposite.

The coaches

Claus Jørgensen worked permanently at Club La Santa for several years. He was in charge of the bike centre and is a very experienced bike guide with good local knowledge. He has returned to Lanzarote to lead several bike weeks during the last few years, guiding people through the best mountain bike routes on the island. Claus has also participated in many races – both mountain bike and triathlons, including Ironman Lanzarote.

Christian Nielsen worked at Club La Santa for a year and a half. Not only is he a good mechanic, but a well respected mountain biker. He has returned to this beautiful island to take part several races and also to go out with the locals to discover some of the best single-tracks.

31st January – 1st February Club La Santa organises the 2 Stage Off-Road Mountain Bike Race. You can choose either to take part in the race along with the training during the week, or to just take part in the rides with Claus, Christian and the Team, which will take place from Monday 2nd – Thursday 5th February.

Accommodation and flights have to be booked separately with Club La Santa UK on 0161-790-9890
