The ride
Roll out from the parking at Campodola-Leixazós and let the climbing begin: 85.0 km with 2466 m of elevation, all on paved surface. The route unfolds through the Ancares-Courel nature reserve, then drops toward the Río Sil. Later you pass Castelo dos Novais, cross the Río Lor and skirt the Río Cabe nature reserve before rolling past Casa Grande de Marcón. Back at the start, the legs will know they've been out.
