🧭 Route description

🚴‍♂️ We will depart from the Casa de Campo Lake, connecting with Madrid Río and the Manzanares Linear Park.

🌿 Once we leave the Manzanares Linear Park, we leave the riverside path and take a detour that connects us to a cycle path leading directly to Perales del Río. 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, 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's a gradual climb that allows you to maintain a controlled pace, without any 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 and responsibility

👥 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.
