About

Gravel Sendas Blancas starts in San Martín de la Vega, southeast of Madrid, on the Jarama river plain. The 110-kilometre route with 1,200 metres of elevation gain covers the white limestone and clay tracks that cut through the agricultural land and natural reserves of the southern Madrid region. The name captures the essence of the terrain: wide, compact gravel paths that run fast in dry conditions but turn demanding when winter moisture softens the surface. Over 110 kilometres on open, rolling terrain, pacing strategy matters more than raw climbing power: keeping power within the right zones for hours without crossing threshold before kilometre 70 is exactly the kind of race strategy the coach develops in the programme, and what separates a well-executed race from a painful second half. An XC race format for riders who thrive on speed and aerobic intensity on the Madrid gravel calendar.
