Chasing volcanoes in the Canary Islands!

Tienes que subir la que seguramente es una de las subidas mas duras del mundo, creo que la segunda mas dura
LLANO DE LAS ANIMAS, 15KM con medias del 12,5% y con tramos de mas del 20%

Absolutely superb

Absolutely stunning Mike! Thank you.

Wow! The quality if the video is amazing as always

Sooo happy to see your vids again. Did you switch out to a gravel bike? Or is it just the bars?

Hola, long lo00ng time no video. viewer 860 145th like (before watching☺☺ ). All the best

You are back in style! Thanks for the epic video and inspiration. Also saw your behind the scenes adventure in the making of this epic!! That’s another video waiting to be released 😂

One of my favourite climbs and expert and inspirational footage from The Col Collectiive as always 👍 Curious to know which island you are yet to ride? I’ve done them all apart from El Hierro which is the hardest to get to 😊

Amazing, I've climbed Teide ,this looks like it's on the list ❤

Wow! - stunning, one of your best videos. The quality gets better and better and the climbs inspirational as always.

Such great content, thank you

New video on this channel means streaming on the big screen. Thanks for another piece of art!!

Ah mate what a fantastic video again ❤

Stunning!

Amazing place! Amazing video! Congrats!

Love that you stayed and got the night sky shots! ✌️

Davvero un video che merita tantissimi complimenti 👏, bravissimo come sempre e meravigliosa questa salita 🤩. Mi viene in mente di portarmi la gravel e stare tre mesi alle Canarie 😍

"Babe I know where we can go on holiday"

The world's steepest island!! Incredible climb, hardest ride I've ever done.

Hell yeah. I LOVE this channel!!!!

Up there is another sight. The blue and green lakes. Remember in 1971 when the boat stopped here as I emigrated to Australia. A bus tour took us up to them. That was pretty high as well.

Grazie.

Great to have you back making videos again!

I did some of my Astrophysics degree work top of Mount Teide in Tenerife with one of the big telescopes, the landscape there is amazing and exactly as you described like being on the moon. The skies are incredible. La Palma looks incredible too.

Stunning!

Fabulous and inspiring, as always! Thank you.

An awesome ride....quiet and beautiful, good call out on the lack of any water/shops up the ride as well as at the top. you have to take care with what you carry but better to have extra than trying to go light.

love these longer - 10 to 15 minute videos.

Another gorgeous episode. The videography is spectacular! I just wish my legs matched my inspiration.

Thanks!

Always so inspiring, Mike! Thank you!

Wow! Just nuts. I'm used to your excellent camera work but wasn't expecting to see a cycling video where one has views looking down at the clouds! This is not just a great cycling video, but a fantastic travel video as well. The telescopes are impressive.
I can see how a gravel bike would give you lower gears, but am wondering why you didn't go with lightweight slick tires, given that the road is so nice, and that the climb is so challenging!

Another great video👌👍🎉🎉 and another climb to add to the list😎.
Just watched the new “ gravel video” on Wahoo SYSTM….fantastic, will have to take the gravel bike next time I go to Gran Canaria🤓.

An f’ing car on the intro?

🫤

Mike, I'm from Indonesia, I'm very happy that you have returned to make a video that motivates me to cycle

Unreal climb. Great vid as usual. Just as my motivation was beginning to wane 🙂👍🚴 Thanks Mike !

We're from Derby but move between living in fuerteventura and uk (irish passport). Been to La Palma and fortunately made that journey to observatories. Fantastic memories. Well done.

Mike Cotty the legend and my favorite cyclist.Thank you for the Col Collective

The Roque de los Muchachos closes the Caldera de Taburiente in its northern area. It was formed due to the strong push that the deep magma exerted on some flows, lifting and fracturing them. Later the rest of the massif disappeared in the depression that is now La Caldera, due to large landslides due to the effect of gravity, completed by the erosive effect of the waters. It borders the municipality of El Paso, with some buttresses within La Caldera de Taburiente that geologically support their summits.
Spectacular Mike!, the Newton telescope and the views from the top where the islets of La Palma, Gomera and Hierro can be clearly seen.The transvulcanica bike gran marathon is held every year on this side of the natural park;)
