An essential land to travel by bike. Segovia is synonymous with mountain and nature. Both the Sierra de Guadarrama and Ayllón's, in addition to unique environments such as the Hoces del Riaza, offer many attractions that make inevitable schedule an exit by their paths.
In Segovia there are routes for all tastes, although with a marked touch of pure MTB by the high mountain. In some routes we exceed 2,000 meters of unevenness surrounded by barely exploited virgin landscapes. In addition to mountain, Segovia stands out for its exquisite cuisine and the historical and monumental value of its towns and cities.
Valsaín - La Granja
From Segovia it is possible to visit the north face of the Sierra de Guadarrama without traveling great distances. In addition, we will visit places of much landscape and cultural interest, such as the Valsaín dam, the Cave of the Monk, in the foothills of the Sierra, or the Royal Site of La Granja, with the spectacular royal palace of the s. XVIII. A moderate physical and technical level route to preferably perform in autumn or spring.
Path of the engineer
An essential route for
Bikers Segovians and for anyone who approaches the bicycle to the Sierra de Guadarrama. The engineer's path is one of the
Singletracks more attractive in the area. A path of pure trail in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by pine forests and with constant changes of slope, curves and reflicts.
The tour begins in San Rafael, following the Cañada Real Leonesa through the Sierra, in southern direction. The layout rises to the brave cave, at 1,800 meters of altitude, and then start the descent along the engineer's path. It is not a decrease in strong slopes and, in addition, there are several reflicts that cut the rhythm of the descent. But it is a section that ensures large doses of fun.
Riaza River Hoces Route
Another purely trail route through the north of the province through the Natural Park of Las Hoces del Río Riaza. The route is conditioned and guided by the BTT Route Center of La Serrezuela to promote the hocces environment, deep cannons and meanders of great landscape value and where birds such as the grown vulture nest.
The layout is breaks, with a second part in which two long and hard climb are chained, reaching the 1,250 meters of altitude. From that point, called Cerro Lucas, a rapid descent of 10 kilometers begins to return to the starting point, the small town of Montejo de la Vega. In order to request an authorization to carry out the sections through the Natural Park if the route is going to be made between January 1 and July 31.

Ayllón Sierra Route
At the crossroads between Segovia, Madrid and Guadalajara is the Sierra de Ayllón, one of the highest altitude mountains of the central system, with summits above 2,000 meters. In this highly slope route we climb up to Cota 1.900 at the height of the top of the port of the second. A few kilometers are carried out by road, but once we enter the high mountain paths of the Sierra, the boredom of the asphalt will be forgotten.
The layout has two large descents of 8 and 5 kilometers of slopes not very pronounced by totally cyclable paths. You only have to pay attention to some rock sectors and at the intersection of some streams. Recommended to perform this route in autumn, spring or summer. In winter much of the route will be covered by the snow.
