Por Madrid en Moto – ride to Jarama Race track

This sunny Sunday we were more than 120 bikes gathering at the bar Los Barriletes for registration.

The route was short today because it was followed by activities at the race track. We rode one of my favourite roads, between Colmenar Viejo and Guadalix de la Sierra and later I was introduced to some small but very scenic roads passing on the inside of El Molar towards San Augustin, the view was fantastic – all the way to Madrid and the four towers. No photos, sorry, it’s all exclusive to my memory 🙂

At the race track we had a barbecue, it was only meat but since I had my own bananas it wasn’t a problem. It was very interesting seeing the track and I was amazed noticing that scooters also join in on the track days. I don’t think that would happen in Sweden, we tend to see scooters as something else than motorcycles but maybe that will change also up north.

I have really enjoyed these rides – rutas, that I have taken part in. Very good work of the organisation Muevete por Madrid en Moto. If you’re in the Madrid area check out their website for info about the next activity!

At Jarama, unfortunately I could not stay until the end of the day when all bikers were invited to do an honorary lap.
