Expedition

The geohash was an about one hour ride from my home. There were two alternative routes, one over small roads, presumably quite scenic, and another one mostly over main roads, a little bit longer, but faster. I decided to take the scenic one outbound and the faster one inbound.

The outbound ride was indeed very nice. It went through a beautiful part of the Sierra Oeste, crossing some mountain passes. I reached a maximum height of 1223 meters. The road between Cebreros and Bartolomé de Pinares was particularly impressive, offering spectacular views, and there's almost no traffic. On expedition 2021-10-12_40_-4, I got there again, and that time, I stopped for a photo.

Parking near the geohash at the side of the road was a bit suboptimal, but with so few traffic, it was OK. The geohash was very close to the road, but I had to find my way through some wilderness, see photos.

The ride back home was quite laid back. I passed the large reservoir Embalse del Borguillo, which has very nice beaches, and got home well.
