Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

August 12, 2020

If you biked up to this point from Granada you've climbed more than 1400 meters of unrelenting elevation change. It's still another 1100 meters to the summit from here, but in winter this is as far as the road is usually kept open from snow. Depending on conditions you can usually continue straight on this short spur leading into the resort area for a break and to warm up/dress up more layers before shooting down this long sweet descent. In summer the pavement continues up about half of the distance to the summit from here, the rest is gravel/dirt that road bike tires might not work well with, but definitively worth every effort to take in the breathtaking views.
