Where is Guadarrama?Guadarrama is Northwest of Madrid (Spain). It´s a very popular holidays spot for madrileños (Madrid´s citizens). Its surroundings are full of mountains which makes a big pleasure to bikers, mountaineers and nature lovers. It´s highest peak is Peñalara with 2.428 meters above sea level. This full area is called Sierra de Guadarrama and is the last National Park created in Spain, which it´s the highest level of protection gived in Spain for a natural area. It´s an area full of pines trees.It´s just 45 minutes away from Madrid by car. It has very good connections with the capital, by bus, car or train. We will stay in village of Los Molinos.

DatesThis trip is focused to make during Fall. We recomend it from September to middle December. We´ll find nice weather during such dates. With natural sunlight until 18:00-19:00. Weather is warm, it could rain but mostly should be sunny, hardly we will find temperature below 0ºC and snow. Except late November, when days will be shorter and chiller. Our recomendation; short or first layer pant, t-shirt and a thin jacket for first chilly mornings hours or top of the mountains startings.No matter about it, it´s our base camp, so feel free if you want to try this wonderful spot with us in different dates.Ask for it, we are sure we can book you in different dates.

Day 2

Ready for action? First thing we´ll do it´s grapping the car and go uphill. Puerto de Navacerrada will be our destination (20 min), 1,880 mts height. From there we´ll make two descents (Whistler and La Sal). First one is one of the most common dh path for madrid´s locals. It “seems” to be in a small-Whistler, so we are sure it would be a good way to warm you up. It´s a 30 minutes dh route, but before getting Cercedilla town, we´ll pedal a little to gain 100 meters of elevation and make the first stage of Spanish Enduro Championship called Big Ride. In 2012 Jerome Clementz made in just 3 minutes, we will not beat him. Mortals let´s try to make it in 5!!

Let´s pedal for a while, we´ll change valley and get into Fuenfria. We´ll be pedalling close to 50 minutes in a singletrack, going down and up all the time until getting Fuenfria Valley. Then we´ll go up and make a couple of classic Madrid´s Enduro routes, Ducha de los Alemanes, Senda Genaro, Sendero Flow. wwwoowww...Flat out!. Finising more or less at 14:30-15:00 time for beers and some relax.

Day 3

El Escorial. 30 min by car.

We will reach the bottom of Puerto de Abantos, many lines rise from top of the mountain to the place where we start our route. Today is going to be a hard day with close to 1.600 negative and posit ive ramp. Views of Madrid and El Escorial will be amazing as well as the r o u t e , r e f u g i o d e l a naranjera, Abantos, la lápida, vascos... and Valle de los Caidos (picture).

Day 4

Patones. 1 hour and 15 minutes by car

We´ll change completely our mountains. We´ll go to the pretty and small village of Patones. Slate stone is the today´s protagonist, so punctures may be on the agenda. No shadows and water here, so we must be careful. It´s going to be a hard day, close to 1.800 meters positive and negative today. 4 specials downhill today, but incredible. I promise today would be one of the specials day. This area has celebrated two national races, so you will enjoy it.

Day 5Full Cercedilla. 30 min by car

Let´s go again, like first day we´ll go up to Puerto de Navacerrada, first we´ll make a dh but to the opposite side of the mountain, Segovia´ slope. Then the car will carry up again to Puerto de Navacerrada and we´ll go thru Camino Schmid until getting Puerto de Fuenfría. Really nice track, down-up-down-up 30-35 min long. Then when we arrive we´ll take Carril del Gallo, maybe the trip´s fastest downhill. Time again for pedalling uphill, first we´ll get again Puerto de la Fuenfria and later on Pico del Águila, amazing downhill Final Fireworks.
