オソ・デ・シンカのおすすめMTBライド

It's very well set up, the only thing is that it's packed with people and some stop wherever they can without realizing that they're in the middle of the route, hindering those who have no intention of stopping. In my case, in this 2025 edition, I only made a brief stop at the third refreshment station.

It is a small stone shelter typical of the Monegros region, designed to provide shelter for shepherds or hikers in bad weather.

It's a small stone monolith that marks one of the highest points of the route, and although it's not very large, everyone who passes by instantly recognizes it. After kilometers of open slopes and wind (sometimes very strong), reaching the Pilón is like a symbol that you've overcome most of your hard work. Many take the opportunity to make a brief stop, take a quick photo, and catch their breath before continuing.

The climb is steep but steady, traversing a landscape typical of the area: open fields, dusty roads, and very little shade. When the wind blows, as it often does, the effort is multiplied. From the top, the views are wide and spectacular, pure Monegros: endless horizons, ochre tones, and a sense of immensity.

Spectacular scenery in April

It's located in a spacious and well-organized area, designed so that the hundreds of bikers could stop, refuel, and continue quickly. Fresh water, isotonic drinks, bananas, bars, and nuts were provided... just the right amount to recharge without losing the pace. The atmosphere was great: riders cheered each other on, mechanics were quick to assist if any basic repairs were needed, and attentive volunteers were available to offer whatever you needed almost before you even asked. Many of us took the opportunity to wipe the dust off our faces, refill our water bottles, and stretch a bit before continuing pedaling toward the second part of the race, where the wind had even more surprises in store for us.

Ascent to Piedrafita, very beautiful scenery, and then a very fun descent on the track.

Very interesting and nice for mtb
