What to expect

You'll start with a gentle warm-up before the route climbs steadily toward Las Palomas. The ascent demands consistent effort but rewards you with expanding views across the park's rolling ridges. Forest sections offer shade and respite; descents let you recover on the bike. The support team stays close by—they'll handle mechanical issues and ensure you're fuelling properly. You'll roll through compact, photogenic settlements where life moves slower. Navigation is handled by your GPS device, so no map-reading required. Expect five hours of actual cycling mixed with photo stops and catching your breath.
