The Beast of El Bayor
(All heights on graphs are quoted in metres above sea level)
Not for the faint hearted. a 16km ascent to the peak of El Bayor sandwiched between two of the most exhilerating descents in this area. A real adrenalin junkies' playground. The ride is either uphill or downhill, the ups are a test of endurance but the downs make all the hard work worthwhile.

San Pedro

Long descents, big climbs, great times. A ride down to the Mediteranean Sea at San Pedro. On a clear day you can see Africa as we descend. Definitely a day for your climbing legs. Look at the graph, I don't think I really need to make a comment.
Distance : 142km - 89miles
Rating : Difficult
We always try to tailor rides to suit ability and fitness levels but at the same time want you the rider to experience the best road routes you have ever ridden. This usually means a bit of effort in the climb although you can call upon the R.S.N van for help, should you need too .
