Specialized is organizing a gravel Social Ride in Tres Cantos

Specialized has announced the celebration of a Social Ride next Saturday, January 31, a collective outing designed as a prelude to the IV Gravel Tres Cantos by Specialized, which will take place the following day. The initiative is aimed at all gravel enthusiasts who want to share kilometers, get to know part of the official route, and experience the atmosphere of the event in a relaxed and accessible format.

A Specialized Social Ride will kick off the weekend of the IV Gravel Tres Cantos

The route will be 44 kilometers long and will cover the start and finish of the official race course. The pace will be adapted to all levels, with the goal of allowing any cyclist to participate and enjoy the group experience, without a competitive nature.

The meeting point will be the same as the start and finish of the Sunday event, located on Avenida Vicente Ferrer in Tres Cantos. The gathering is set for 10:00 AM, with a planned departure at 10:30 AM. During the activity, participants will be accompanied by Specialized guides, who will ensure safety and the smooth running of the day.

In addition to the route, the organization will offer attendees a pre-ride breakfast, a final refreshment stop to regain strength, and a Welcome Pack from Specialized as a memento of the Social Ride.

Registrations are limited to 50 people and must be completed before Wednesday, January 28, at 11:59 PM through the form provided by the organization.

This Social Ride will serve as the starting signal for a weekend in which Tres Cantos will once again be one of the focal points of gravel in the Community of Madrid.

Registrations for the Sunday event are still open, with two different modalities: Competition, with a route of 74 kilometers and the option to compete for the Madrid Championship, and Cyclotourism, which allows choosing between the full 74 km route or a reduced version of 55 kilometers, designed for those seeking a more exploratory experience.
