The ride

This ride rolls out of Pliego and back again, 74.1 km with 1047 m of climbing along the way. You pass the Río Pliego river first, then climb on to the Castillo de Alcalá castle before the Castillo de Pliego castle brings you homeward. Every metre is paved, so the surface stays consistent from start to finish. Three landmarks, one loop, and a steady rhythm of ups and downs to keep the legs honest.
