The ride

Roll out of A Rúa de Valdeorras and the climbing begins, with 2102 m of elevation gain spread across the day. You follow the Río Sil, pass the Encoro de Prada lake, then ride through the ZEC Macizo Central nature reserve before meeting the Río Xares. Every metre is paved, and the loop brings you back to where you started.
