On driven autumn 2022. It's a big wide lane that heavy traffic can ride on, with also ramp to the motorway. So in itself not at all pleasant to cycle on. But in the end it's not too bad and you can use this road if you have to cross the mountain towards Segovia and don't have time to detour past Navacerrada, for example.... read more

Op gereden herfst 2022. Het is een grote brede baan waar zwaar verkeer over kan rijden, met ook oprit naar de autosnelweg. Op zich dus helemaal niet gezellig om op te fietsen. Maar uiteindelijk valt het nog wel mee en kan je deze weg gebruiken als je over de berg moet richting Segovia en geen tijd hebt om om te rijden langs bvb Navacerrada.
