    Looking for somewhere for a week at the start of Feb suitable for a group of 10 or so, long drags please. Any recommendations?
    Good weather and bike hire also essential!

    stayed in Sands Beach, Costa Teguise 2 years ago.

    http://www.sandsbeach.eu/en/sands-beach-sports

    Went full board, good variety of food, healthy and not so healthy. Decent apartment with a 25m pool too.

    There is a bike shop in the complex from which you can hire bikes, think they were mainly Ghost. Markus who runs the place will organise any spin for you and take you out. When I was there there were two Belgian lads who were training, they also took groups out.

    They did a large group cycle at weekends with people coming from all over meeting at the complex.

    It's the only trip of that sort that I did so can't really compare it to anything else but I really enjoyed it.

    Costa Teguise is a bit boring in itself however

    Have a look at Club La Santa

    A mate of mine went to Sands in Feb. for a week's training. He thought it was great.

    Is the "WWT" of the thread title an acronym that one should be immediately familiar with?

    Stayed in cordial hotel in Porto Mogan. Free motion next door. Hired a cannondale synapse carbon. Lovely bike well set up.
    Lots of hills for you there.
    Quiet resort though. Everything closed by 12. Suited me fine.

    Highly recommend this for your group.

    Stayed in Sands Beach for Lanza 70.3 last year. Great spot with good access to the central and northern routes. I wasn't HB but self catered. They also have a Bike DIY spot now where you can clean and maintain your bike. I didn't hire though but i could put you in touch with a friend who lives there and accommodates people looking for routes and hire bikes if you want to PM me for his details?

    If money was no object id go with Club La Santa but its very expensive and in the middle of nowhere (as in you are confined to the resorts bars and restaurants if you want some socialising)
