Hola! Beunos Dias! Greetings from Madrid, Spain!

 

Wow Challenge Madrid. That is one incredible race! What I love about Challenge races, are that they are different from the ‘norm’, and Challenge Madrid is another race that fits perfectly into this. It’s unique that’s for sure and has so much variety and so much to offer. It’s fantastic. Add it to your bucket list! Nuff Said!

 

Challenge Madrid, a race that starts in the rural Spanish countryside of the Lozoya Valley, in the middle of the North Mountain Range (Sierra Norte), but finishes in the heart of the city of Madrid. Madrid is the capital of Spain, pretty much located in the centre of the country. It’s the third largest city in Europe, behind London and Berlin. Where the race is located, provides a huge variety of options and places to explore. Of course, there’s Madrid itself, but also the villages in the Sierra Norte. Buitrago del Lozoya, by the race start with its city walls, and Picasso Museum, horse riding and canoeing, but also some of the towns that the bike course goes through are great for exploring rural Spain – Miraflores de la Sierra and Rascafria, and Lozoya too.
