Madrid-Lisbon Road Bike Ride
Madrid Lisbon Bike Rides For 2015
News Release / 04.12.2014
Bike Madrid Lisbon’s project is growing for 2015. After four successful editions mountain biking, in the fifth year of the project, is now possible to make the crossing on a road bike
This traverse is already established as one of the most spectacular mountain bike crossings, the Madrid Lisbon is a great epic adventure that connects Madrid to Lisbon by bicycle, traversing mountain ranges across the backbone of the Iberian Peninsula with over 1000 km of pure adventure and fulfilling moments. Linking two European capitals by bike through untamed mountains is beyond the reach of many places in the globe.
The big news for the 2015 edition is that the same crossing of these mountains, already traversed by mountain bike, can now also be conquered by cyclists on road bikes.
The introduction of this new variant increases the size of the race, bringing to all cyclists this epic journey, which has been described as "the" travel adventure of a lifetime”. This new possibility of achieving this glorious link between capitals will be held in 8 days, 1020km, d+17200m and the emblematic climbs from the Vuelta and the Tour of Portugal. Surely this adventure is not accessible to all cyclists, but only to those who are able to overcome these hard barriers, and thus enter into the exclusive group of finishers from BIKE MADRID LISBON.
The Madrid Lisbon Mountain Bike is a challenge that has proven to be just within reach of experienced and well-trained cyclists. This is a great trip across the Iberian Mountains, on the best trails and looking for the best that these regions have to offer. The route has impressive numbers; a positive slope of 28000m, over 1200km in 15 days are needed to fulfill this ultimate adventure!
