Hi 

 I'll be renting in Camposol force first time from October 21 til March 22 . I'm a keen cyclist and was wonder if there are any like minded souls in the area.

Any advice on routes in the area would be very welcome 

Thanks 

Terry

Lots of good cycling in the area.

All along the coast & also the Route Verde inland.

Roads are very quite even during normal pre Covid-19 times.

Hi Terry

              I love cycling around Camposol the only small issue if your using a Road Bike is that you have to use the service roads to gain access to the main roads these aren't brilliant roads but once your out on the main roads there is little traffic and great scenery, I do a loop from Camposol towards Mazzarron Country Club then follow the road to El Pareton which is about a 30km ride back to Camposol, our son who has an expensive road bike which he brings over on the plane will cycle 100+ km and cycles up the Sierra Espuna mountain. The Verdi cycle track Roland mentioned is also brilliant but as its mainly gravel a mountain bike is better but you can ride to Totana or Cartagena and towards the Mazarron Town & the Port using the various routes and there is access just outside of Camposol.

Phil.

Hi,

I ride a ´hybrid´ bike (so basically a light hardtail mtb with small tires) in the Camposol area and that copes with all ´via verdes´ easily.

You might find interesting mtb and also road trails on this site:

Top Mountain Bike trails in Camposol, Murcia (Spain) | Wikiloc

The ´official ´via verde site  is:

Welcome to Spanish Greenways web (viasverdes.com)

In Camposol/ la Penilla/country club area there are a lot of interesting ´real´ MTB tracks tobe found, but I think for those you might require a fat tire MTB with full suspension, because quite ´rocky´and sometimes pretty steep! 

have fun, krgrds, freek
