160 kilometers in an edition with mythical trails and guaranteed fun

An initial time trial and the Roman road as main attractions

The 11th edition of La Rioja Bike Race presented by Pirelli to be held from Friday, May 16 to Sunday, May 18, will run along the main trails of Logroño with some modifications to keep the intrigue until the last kilometer with a total distance of 160 kilometers and 3,330 meters of climbing in 3 stages.

The first stage, which will be a time trial (XCT) and Flash stage of 25 kilometers starting and finishing in the neighborhood of Valdegastea in Logroño, will have three very different parts. The first one until reaching the Cortijo neighborhood with easy trails to get into a good rhythm. The second part will be very rolling on tracks where what matters are the watts you reach, and the third part will be of real enjoyment as it will roll through the BTT circuit Laderas de Rumiel, where the skill and ability of each rider will prevail. You will have a great time! And looking forward to the second stage, the queen of this edition.

The second stage called Skoda Super Stage, on Saturday, will be 83 kilometers long, starting and finishing from the Palacio de Deportes de La Rioja in Moncalvillo Avenue, and it will be a marathon stage. It will start going up the Iregua valley to Viguera where we will enter the mythical, famous and long path of the Roman road that since 2023 we did not pass it, and until we pass Torrecilla to go to Rivabellosa where the climb to Cerrollera begins and from there we will go up to the top until we reach the beautiful path. All this part will be unprecedented for this edition thus ensuring the feeling of being in nature and knowing new attractions in the area. Once down the beautiful path we will return to Logroño along the banks of the Iregua but by one of the trails of the Bike Park, adding some last kilometers of Flow and fun.

The third stage, on Sunday, May 18, will be through Moncalvillo with 49 kilometers of distance. What will stand out in this final stage will be the trails with flow and between pine forests as the predominant note of the day. It will start by climbing on tracks up to the mythical mountain and from there take a series of brutal trails that could not not be included. These are “the unicorn” and down by “the deer”, “greyhound” and “muleteers”. From that point we will return to the capital of La Rioja through the area of the peak of the Eagle with 360º views to enjoy and say goodbye to this edition.
