Senda of Arrieros

Route made on March 24, 2016. 

Technical difficulty: Easy 

Physical Difficulty: Moderate. 

Distance: 65.73km

Sunny morning of the month of March that invites to the pedaling. The route runs mainly by tracks and ramblas, barely touching the road except at the exit and entrance of Albox. We circulate through a semi-desert landscape, without shadows or fountains. Soon we left Albox in a gentle but steady rise until shortly before Las Pocicas. During the climb we will have some strong slope that joined the ground with loose stones is easy to have to put your foot on the ground. When taking height soon the views will make us enjoy the exit. When you reach the 24 km approx, we begin to drive along ravines with the ground of a sandstone that will make it much harder to drive the wheels, in many occasions it will seem that we are dragging a sledge of what it cost to give pedals. Except for some other stretch this ground will be a constant until shortly before finishing the route which ends up being quite heavy at the end. I made the route “Senda de Arrieros” of the year 2012, cyclist test organized by the city council in this my first contact the bike in Albox. Both physically and technically there are no major problems except the sandstone floor in the second part of the route that will make us strive more than we originally expected.
