This is a route ideally for a 2/3 hours ride. Early ride in the morning or afternoon. It follows the cycling green ring of Madrid joining two parks, Casa de Campo with a lake and many biking options and the El Pardo, a big park with more short climbing options. These parks are plenty of cyclists on week ends.
From here, the next section crosses the valley of the river Lozoya passing through the municipalities of Lozoya, and Pinilla del Valle towards the Port of Canencia. It is one of the lowest mountain passes in the Sierra de Guadarrama and, at the same time, less traveled, given its regional character. Its surroundings are populated with pine forests. To finish the route, head back to Soto del Real, where the stage began.
