The ride
Roll out of Salas de los Infantes and the ride unfolds along the Río Arlanza, then the Río Ciruelos, before the Castillo de Castrovido appears on the route. Next you cross the Espacio Natural de la Sierra de la Demanda and follow the Río Pedroso, with 1499 m of climbing packed into the day. Most of the 65.3 km runs unpaved, so the gravel keeps you honest from start to finish back in Salas de los Infantes.
