First bike ride in Fuerteventura

I arrived Sunday to Fuerteventura. Travel days are never fun. But it went all right. In the afternoon we did a one hour swim with the main focus on technique and finished it off with a 30 minute jog around the golf course.
Monday I went out at 8am to check the island and especially the climbs. Had decided to go on the "Betancuria Kings Tour" as stated on the Playitas website. Didn't manage to follow it perfectly as I made some wrong turns on the way, but rode 130 km. and 2.000 meters of elevation. My Garmin GPS went dead on the battery, so no detailed route from this ride, but I am glad that I also had my Polar watch on, so I had some idea of my pulse, speed etc.
It is probably too early to make any real conclusions on how it is to ride on the island, but first impression is good. All though the wind felt strong and it supposedly categorized as a mild day... I don't think so!
