A route that combines different areas in an attempt to link the most emblematic trails in the territory. Start from the Gessera area, doing White Line, Muerte uphill, Afganistrail, Sagrada Familia and Dragon Khan to go up to Talarn, where we can refill water and approach the Roques Pelades area, descending down Escorpins and combining with Valkyries II. From here we will continue to Tremp to get a taste of MAF trail in the Nerets area. We will climb the hard path that takes us to the antennas to ride the mythical Slick Rock. Be careful on rainy days because it passes through clay soil, especially the first part of the route. You will find water in the villages, passing through Talarn and very close to Vilamitjana, This can be useful if you need to refill water causing only a minimal detour.
The first 32 km belongs to the Gessera area, so on heavy rainy days, even the following days, we will find a lot of clayey mud that will prevent us from riding.
In winter, during the night and because of the cold the shady areas turn to frost , which melts during the day, creating a layer of clayey mud that prevent us from riding at many points along the route, especially on the White Line and Sagrada Familia trails.
The remaining kilometres correspond to the area of Roques Pelades, Nerets and Antenes, therefore, on days with adverse conditions we recommend taking the Driblant Lo Fang route.The first 32 km belongs to the Gessera area, so
The best time of year to go on this route is either in Autumn or in Spring.
On days when the ground is wet and compact, due to rain and humidity in previous weeks, the best grip conditions are given to fly over the clay soil of our territory.
The route is perfectly doable, but it should be borne in mind that it is very long and that we may be very exposed to the sun and heat.
Hay que extremar las precauciones en las bajadas, porque la arcilla muy seca no tiene el grip deseada por los ciclistas.
Please pay careful in the sandstone terrain curves also, at some points they can present sandbars that can play tricks on us.
Always yield to other cyclists and pedestrians, warn of your arrival in time and slow down.
Do not scare the animals by shouting or making unnecessary noise. You are in their environment.
