Gran Canaria - best routes??

I'm due to do a week in Gran Canaria at Easter and the pics I've seen of the roads look great. I've got a road map of the island and I'm starting to plan out some routes - does anyone have any specific tips on where to ride or roads not to miss?

basically there are two main roads, and most rides are extensions off those. and be very aware of cars; there isn't much traffic but they're not the most cycle-respecting.
also check out the archives on www.sportivecentral.com, as someone posted about a few of the more challenging rides.
Cycling Included run cycle tours from Maspalomas Gran Canaria, more information can be found on thier site.
I have used thier services many times and have kept a good relationship with them. I would reccomend them to anybody.

At what level are you riding?
I've ridden lots from Maspolomas on Freemotion routes and also the Pt Mogan area - can share some routes if that is where you'll be? Basically head into the centre of the island and climb those beautiful mountains or round the boring flat windy roads round the coast
How's the traffic/driver attitudes?
Be aware that the standard of typical riders on the long Freemotion rides is very high - all european mountain goats when I was there, and made for hard rides! The high point on the island is about 2200m and you start from sea level, so those climbs are longer than many Alp or Pyrenees climbs, although generally less steep. Personally I love the riding out there - superb roads and stunning views!
I've always used Happy Biking rather than Freemotion - their website is a bit less flashy but they're lovely people whereas Freemotion have always seemed a bit eliteist to me - if you're not a harcore cyclist they're not interested.
