Collserola 40km Loop

If you have a couple of hours fee and need to escape Barcelona then this little 40km Loop into Collserola park is perfect.



In 15 to 20 minutes from down town you are in the park on your way up Avinguda de Vallvidrera. The loop works both way but i normal carry on until Vallvidrera and head down the valley so I can warm up ready for the climb back up "Carretera de Molins de rei a Vallvidrera" which is a local favorite. On the profile below it starts at about 19km and ends at about the 30km point.



The Picute below was taken just before jioning Carretera de Molins de rei at the top of a steep climb on "Carretera de Rierara". There is a great cafe in Rierara by the way where you can sit outside in the woods next to the stream.



Finishing the climb on Carretera de Molins de rei your greeted with a great view of the city again pictured below. As you can also see from the picture I have finished building my new bike :-)
