This is a linear route, with a fun half day, for beginners who want to put their bike handling to the test, with slides, ramps, narrow passages and some compromising steps.
We are going to visit the El Gasco dam, the first scene of an unrealized dream. The project was to build a canal from Madrid to Seville, but the accumulation of problems and misfortunes marked its beginning and defined its end. Arriving by commuter train to Torrelodones, a pedaling along tracks takes us to the site of the dam, from where we continue rolling through its unfinished canal to Las Matas, where we can take the train again. A fun afternoon on the bike, very close to Madrid.
