Up to this point, the route is practically flat. ☀️ From this point the environment becomes more open and with less shade. ⛰️ From Perales del Río, we head towards La Marañosa, which is the section that gives the route its sporty character. It's a short, steady climb of about 100 meters in elevation gain, without any steep ramps, and with two ascents of approximately 4 km each. In both cases it is a gradual ascent that allows you to climb at a controlled pace, without sudden changes in intensity. 👥 Each participant will ascend at their own pace, with regrouping taking place at the top. 🏘️ Afterwards, we'll descend towards San Martín de la Vega, a town closely linked to cycling in southern Madrid and a common meeting point for many cyclists in the area. There, we'll stop for a rest before returning to Madrid. 🚴♀️ Group dynamics 👥 A responsible group dynamic is prioritized, adapting the pace so that all participants can enjoy the route. 🚴♂️ Road cyclists will be able to head directly to the regrouping point in San Martín de la Vega, thus facilitating the flow of different paces. ⚠️ The participant who sets the slowest pace in the group should not be left alone. It is recommended that a member bring up the rear, accompanying them when necessary. 🚴♂️ It is recommended to ride in pairs or small groups and regroup at agreed points. 📍 Gathering points : • 🌉 End of the river walk / turnoff towards Perales del Río • ⛰️ Alto de La Marañosa • 🏘️ San Martín de la Vega (main meeting point) 🔁 Route options : 🔁 Short option: finish in Perales del Río. 🔁 Intermediate option: climb to La Marañosa and direct return to Madrid 🔁 Full route: to San Martín de la Vega and back. ⚠️ Responsibility and safety ❗ The organizer is not a professional, therefore each participant is responsible for their own safety and for respecting traffic laws. Neither the organizer nor the group members assume responsibility for accidents or unforeseen events during the route. 🗺️ It is recommended to have the guide track downloaded on your device. https://loc.wiki/t/91003677?h=gp2yjwe2zv&wa=sd&la=es (country house-san martin de la vega)
