What we will do
You will meet 10 minutes before the start of the activity at the meeting point in Tres Cantos, very close to Madrid. The instructor and guide will be waiting for us there, who will assign us the appropriate bikes and help us to adjust saddles and helmets.
Before we start pedalling, we will have a brief briefing about the route and we will receive some first technical notions to improve our posture and pedalling. The route will start with a first stretch on asphalt, it will only take a few minutes, until we get into the dirt tracks of the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Regional Park.
We will soon find ourselves immersed in nature. We will travel approximately 20 km along paths surrounded by holm oaks, fields and streams in an environment of great natural interest. In addition, during this adventure we will have the chance to see some animals in their habitat, such as rabbits, kites or wild boars.
Along the route we will stop at some panoramic points to contemplate the landscape of the park and the environment of the banks of the Manzanares River, while we take the opportunity to correct small technical errors and resolve doubts about the bike. It will be an experience of nature and learning.
The experience will last approximately 1 hour and a half, depending on the level of the group.
