Explore 2025 - Day 3: Segovia to Madrid
Published on October 6, 2025
A stunning final day - from rolling out to the sight of hot air balloons over Segovia to the smooth tarmac of the 8km climb to Puerto de Navacerrada ski station - all before their morning coffee.
Having cheered on a small boy learning to ride a bike in a Madrid park, the group took to the cycle path into the city centre (exploring some alternative 'gravel' along the way) to arrive at the Palacio Real Madrid, surprising a lot of tourists.
It's been an incredibly challenging three days, dispatched with determination and humour by the 32 cyclists. The group is almost at its fundraising target for Cyclists Fighting Cancer - you can support them here: justgiving.com/campaign/explore2025
