This past weekend, my pal Jorge and I decided to go out for a ride and, for the most part, it was our usual round trip: Las Rozas, Puerto de Galapagar, Embalse de Valmayor, Cruz Verde, Robledo de Chavela, Cruz Verde (de nuevo), Navas del Marqués.
That is where the trip varied, partly by mistake and partly because we wanted to explore. From Navas del Marqués we went to Peguerinos through the AV-P-308. Peguerinos is a cute little town in La Sierra. From there we followed the road that just went straight through. Shortly after, the tarmac degraded a little. Halfway through, more or less, there was a crossing that would lead us to either the Alto de los Leones or to El Escorial. We decided for the former and the road climbed further and further up until we reached a point, near the top, in which the road became little more than a forest track. Even so, we followed it and after a few miles we got to the main road at the Alto de los Leones again.
This is the route:
Apart from how uncomfortable the road was, all ups and downs, bumps, puddles and sand, we went through some beautiful forests, near some streams and, close to the top, some amazing views. There were numerous places to stop for a picnic. Anyway, if we hadn't gone with out bikes but with our girls, it would have been grand. Here are some pics of the route:
