We started from Sant Joan de les Abadesses, taking the Iron Route to warm the legs, after 5 kilometers, we leave the greenway to take a track that we will continue climbing 14 kilometers up the Tossal d’en Grata (1,186m) , Puig de l’Àlaiga (1,492m) to get to Coll de Jou (1,637m), where from here on Domènec with eBike you will be climbing almost all the bicycles above and a server with atmospheric will go mostly by dragging it 1.5 kilometers and 400 meters vertical up to the top of the Taga (2.040m).
Once above and enjoying the magnificent views, we face the descent through a hill that we had never done before, so we head towards Portella d’Oporto, and from there it is where the difficulty of the descent begins, because apart from the percentage of inclination of the terrain that exists, we find very loose ends with many loads that make it difficult to do so on the bike and make us place more than one foot on the ground, this technical stretch us He leaves Sant Martí d’Ogassa, where the motocross disappears and turns into a beautiful path, which curiously when crossing the road and making a piece of track disappears into the dam and as if nobody had spent a long time; In fact the track we had was 2013. This means that we have to go back and go down to Ogassa by road, and link the track again with the track for the track that returns to the Ruta del Ferro to get back to Sant Joan de les Abadesses and thus complete the first exit of the summer pilgrimage.
