The ride

Roll out of Alhama de Murcia and climb past the Castillo de Alhama before the road turns rough through the Parque Regional de Sierra Espuña. You cross the Río Espuña, then head for the Saladares del Guadalentín nature reserve and the Río Guadalentín. With 87% unpaved and 1097 m of climbing, this is a day that keeps you working. The loop brings you back to where you started.
