Sierra de Hoyo de Manzanares
Packed of singletracks, and popular for its ups and downs, Hoyo is a mythical MTB area in Madrid, with trails that go from flowy trails to the gnarliest paths in the Sierra. We use to ride here the first day to start getting the feeling of the group and decide the planning for the rest of the week accordingly. Click here for more stories about Hoyo in our blog.

Abantos and El Escorial
The location of El Escorial it´s quite unique, with the Abantos peak creating a natural border between Madrid and Avila (Spain). It is a highly historical area, with the Royal Site of El Escorial down the valley and a great network of singletracks surrounding the whole valley.

The 2 Valleys.
From Moralzarzal to the highest peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama in the area of Cercedilla and Navacerrada (Madrid, Spain), we start to find pine tree forests and probably the longest climbs and descends in the Sierra. We love to combine the ride here with an uplift using the ancient train that goes from Cercedilla to the Puerto de Navacerrada ski resort and finish with a bbq at the Chalet.
