Now, recounting some of his experience at our last meeting the challenge across the Forest Spring and back to "Tronadora." Since Sunday we came together in poles at about 8:15 am we were already up to 8 ½ at 8:30 am. Fresco painting day because the wind a little cooler than others of these random days in April, almost May.
Five cyclists, Robert, Charles, Rommel, Paco and the Ro ... five kilometers, and leave behind the 8 ½ and we are rolling the eleventh, when we finished the initial slope and our biological and mechanical muscle (of the bike course) and are entering into heat. 10 km of predominantly come down that leads to the valley known as pennyroyal and we pass the "green door" that would take us to Tower 3, but this time it is not our goal. A couple of miles ahead is the entrance to vampires ... not because I call so this single track, but neither am going to get to find out. What if it is one of the sections to roll my most magical in this forest. Is fraught with silence, cool spots, mature trees and seem to see how these elders of the village square, with serenity, wisdom and patience ... 
crossed "vampires" and leave the forests to San Isidro, but that is not our goal, divert our way to take the path leading to the spa "Volcanoes." And mark past the 20 kilometer run and we have to start rolling the road that borders the forest. are about 10 kilometers, without shade or no shade. Following a path also crossed earthy and one that other car or truck that goes from one to another of the villages that are located on the banks of the forest. The sun even that, he behaved kind to these five adventurers Sunday, letting a cool breeze accompanied us during most of the journey, although we are not exhausted, if we tan the skin that I can not be covered by our helmets, jerseys and tights ...
Km 30 approx, and two hours after starting our journey we arrived at "the shop." A real oasis for cyclists who venture to the challenge of thundering, for a few minutes we sat in the entryway of the store that it offers "a coke", a "V-8, and a snack to recharge your batteries before the last part.
Recharged batteries began retake the shot, which is not nothing but a return to this, my beautiful, magical forest La Primavera. Following the path of tractors and vehicles that take vegetables crops in this area, we go deeper into the forest again, now with the stealthy look of Tower 1. The road becomes a single track that goes up into the woods and we're spending energy reserves again after 3 hours of shot at a good pace, and now the shadows of the trees but the requirement of a significant slope . This new slope ends at the road that connects with the climb to Tower 1. Charly decided there just tossing the plus and go to the Tower, others chose to continue with the initial plan to reach the junction (we can say that ends with "the Tronadora", a slope with a very respectable percentage slope ... ) turn right and headed to the remainder of the race track and then just let it go to Poles ... 43 miles, 3 hours and 50 minutes. Four brave cyclists (the fifth would be coming to the Tower 1) finally successfully completed a challenge more ... Tronadora in April 2011.
