Waterside between Xert and Sant Rafel del Riu

The ride

Roll out of Cervera del Maestre and the road takes you down to the Rambla de Cervera, a riverbed that sets the tone for the day. From there you follow the Riu Cervol, then the Riu de la Sénia, each river marking another stretch of the loop. It's 77.0 km of paved riding with 747 m of climbing, and every metre of it is verhard-friendly tarmac under your wheels. The route brings you back to where you started, rivers behind you and the village ahead.
