Itinerary description
Great route around Poblet forest. It starts in Poblet's Parking to get the road to Vilanova de Prades and Prades. After few meters you get one track. At the beginning you'll find easy ways to road. The real climb starts when you cross the road. Then starts a track with smooth slope, which brings you up more than 500m, till the end of the track "los tronquitos". This is a famous track as downhill, but this time you should climb it. That's a tough climb with your bike on the shoulder. When you arrive at the top, you'll have an awesome views of LaMussara, Montral, Farena... then starts the second "hard" track of the day. You get the GR which bring you to Mola del Cuatre Termes, with lot of points where you have to "unride" your bike. After two or three kilometers, then arrive to a cyclable track which get you till LaPena, and there starts the real downhill. This time we'll (Angel and me) get a track called "senda del colom" to descent till Poblet. This is a five starts track, incredible way to finish a good morning. We spend 4 hours with some mistakes, an snakebite on my rear wheel and a "chorizo'S" sandwich on top of Los tronquitos... I consider it as red ribbon because of the "uphill" of los tronquitos.
