I am deeply passionate about road cycling. I started to compete in long-distance rides during the seven years I lived in northern Tenerife. I dedicated all my free time to cycling, enjoying the challenging mountain routes available throughout the year. Every year, I participated in challenging long-distance competitions, spanning 150-200 km, at renowned locations in Spain such as the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, including events like Quebrantahuesos and Requena Tierra de Vinos. Remarkably, I earned a trophy in each competition, consistently placing second, despite competing against professionals while not being one myself. I have also completed the demanding ride from London to Paris. Cycling is an integral part of my lifestyle, and I am eager to continue enjoying this passion during my holidays in Tenerife and while exploring the picturesque routes of Finland each summer
