Los Molares pass, one of the hardest in the Montanejos area, as it shows an APM hardness coefficient of 85 points. Normally we cycle through the stages and after a short time, with the data collected, we carry out the altimetry and the record. In this case, 4 years have passed between data collection and office work, that is what confinement has, in the absence of pedaling, we can use the abundant data that we have collected in the last 12 years. Let's go with the details of the Puerto de los Molares, a single slope ascent that takes you towards the limit of the province of Castellón, towards the area of the town of Cortes de Arenoso along a quite hidden road.

We leave Montanejos towards Cortes de Arenoso along the CV-20 road, and immediately turn right towards the CV-195, crossing the Mijares bridge. The ascent begins smoothly and with good asphalt on the road that leads to Zucaina, but that joy only lasts 1 kilometer.

We turn left and we get into a totally different ascent. Narrow and somewhat bumpy road, in a very leafy forest that shelters but prevents seeing landscapes. The next 4 kilometers are not excessively hard, finding some isolated ramp at 9%. A pity about the leafiness of the forest because it is intuited that with a more open landscape there would be beautiful views of the nearby Arenoso reservoir.

At kilometer 5 we find an important turning point, marked by the crossing to the Shooting Range and the Canadian pass. After that point comes a descent of half a kilometer that does not bode well. That's right, the hardness of the pass is concentrated after the descent, in the last 2 kilometers. It is the area of the last 4 horseshoes, very constant, all the time above 7-8% and with punctual ramps at 10-11-12%. The final bulletin.

The last 500 meters soften. After crowning and finishing the port, there is a short descent and the ruined village of Los Molares that gives its name to this leafy and generally quite hard ascent.
