Around 16,000m of steep climbing packed into 870km of Basque gravel. The vertical, not the distance, defines this one. Self-supported and self-navigated, out of Vitoria-Gasteiz into the green mountains.
The route
A self-navigated gravel loop from Vitoria-Gasteiz through the green Basque mountains and Pyrenees foothills: roughly half farm and gravel tracks, a third forest tracks, with singletrack and quiet lane connectors between. Steep, near-constant climbing throughout.
Late-July, Vitoria-Gasteiz
Highs around 25°C and lows around 15°C, but it has dropped to 10°C. Rain on 26% of days.
