The route

A long route signposted in OpenStreetMap as an MTB route that ends at the monastery of Uclés, in western Cuenca. It runs on rural paths and tracks between cereal fields, vineyards and scrubland, with short climbs and the odd rougher section where a mountain bike comes in handy. Given its length, it's usually done over two days or in sections. The villages along the way have a fountain and a bar, but between them there are many kilometres with no services: bring plenty of water and food and something to fix punctures. Best in spring and autumn; in summer, set off very early. In hunting season, ride in visible clothing. When you reach Uclés, the monastery is worth the stop.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (ODbL).

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride.
