Madrid -> Las Dehesas

We got out Alvaro's house pretty early...we followed a nice bike path (a kind of highway for bikes to go OUT of the city) and had loads of contact and talks with other cyclists in the way...
Everyone warned it would be a difficult day and that it may snow tomorrow...we continued anyway, following Alvaro's advice to cross Sierra de Guadarrama by the natural park and the old Republic Road (a road that was being made during the short republic of spain and stoped after the war of 1936)

After one whole day of cycling we finally started going UP in the afternoon and got pretty tired... we passed the night in a huge hotel that was not finished because it was an illegal construction...
the night got really cold and luckily we found loads of things to burn (included old cow shit :p..) inside the hotel...
