Oh dear, this is difficult! It starts off okay, through the forest with a descent as a present. Then the road surface deteriorates. It also gets steeper after the hairpins. It is really tough, because the sun is burning full on the road. Then you come across a wild grid, which is quite exciting on the bike. After this, there is a barrier at the car park. You still have to continue to the top, you won't encounter cars again. Be careful, as the road surface is deplorable. You can continue all the way across the grass to the helipad. This summit is a former army base. The views are very nice over Catalonia. Be alert on the descent! The road is bad and full of potholes and gravel. Moreover, there is the wild grid where you definitely don't want to slip. Once you leave the hairpins behind you, it's downhill again with lots of fun!
Oei wat is dit moeilijk! Het begint nog wel oke, door het bos met een afdaling als cadeau. Daarna wordt het wegdek wel allengs slechter. Daarnaast wordt het steiler na de hairpins. Het is echt afzien, want de zon brandt vol op de weg. Dan kom je een wildrooster tegen, dat is best even spannend op de fiets. Hierna is er een slagboom bij de parkeerplaats. Je moet nu nog door tot aan de top, auto’s kom je niet meer tegen. Let op, want het wegdek is deplorabel te noemen. Je kan helemaal doorrijden over het gras tot op het helikopterplatform. Deze top is een voormalige legerbasis. De uitzichten zijn erg mooi over Catalonië. Wees alert in de afdaling! De weg is slecht en vol met gaten en grind. Bovendien is er het wildrooster waar je absoluut niet wil uitglijden. Eenmaal de hairpins achter je te hebben gelaten, is het weer dalen met veel plezier!
