El Atazar

OK, so on 2 May we hit the beautiful countryside around El Atazar. Spectacular views that took us through the nort-eastern tip of Madrid (Comunidad) and into parts of Castilla la Mancha. We took a bit of a short cut on account of not interpreting the GPS entirely correctly. This trail is not for those who would like to stay away from long and steep climbs, it was quite challenging at times and both Frans and I were a tad out of breath after 28 kilometers of this terrain.

What has become clear is that we (at least I) will need to get a little bit more in shape still for our camino to Santiago. The 6 day 750 KM ride will be pretty tough I am sure.

Next weekend we want to do another run (30 to 40 Km´s) near Madrid. If you have any suggestions please just post them to this blog.
