In the eighties, diabolical machines with stud wheels, three chainrings, flat handlebars and cromomoli tubes appeared in our mountains, transforming the lives of a few sports leisure enthusiasts. The overwhelming evolution of mountain biking in the construction of bicycles, accessories and riding techniques allow us to face new challenges in the most varied, fantastic and suggestive territories that we can find on any mountain in the world.

The crossing of the Cantabrian Mountains by mountain bike is a sports adventure in extraordinary landscapes, visiting villages that preserve the essence of the old lifestyles, crowning hills and open gaps in the & quot; great & quot; mountain range that seem to be hanging from the clouds, making a mark on pastoral paths forgotten in the memory of the rural world, navigating the shocking restlessness of the Asturian fogs and the solitude of the Cantabrian mountain ranges. Each stage is a challenge, a new experience for machines and bikers, a search for sensations through modern mountain biking.

Juanjo Alonso is the author of more than forty titles dedicated to active leisure and sports tourism. On this occasion, he has searched for mountain trails, forest tracks, local roads, historic paths and pastoral paths to link the emblematic peaks, valleys and hills of the Cantabrian Mountains. The result is a selection of 10 stages, between Balouta, in the Ancares of León, and the Mena Valley, in the north of Burgos, with all kinds of slopes, terrain and mountainous environments that will make true fans enjoy one hundred percent to the mountain bike.
