Tips: Check the start point and time of your route before travelling. On Teide the air is thinner and the weather can change fast: carry warm clothing for the descents. Getting there: Puerto de la Cruz is in the north of Tenerife, about 30 minutes from Tenerife North airport. If you are coming from elsewhere, check the official hotels and bike rental service. Bib change: the rules are published as a PDF on the official website. Check there whether a name change is allowed and under what conditions before agreeing anything. Alternatives to get a bib: register early and join the waiting list on Bibready with a bib alert. No official waiting lists have been published.
