I don't have a fix route, I plan with Ride/with/GPS and OSM Cycling map, if possible I stay 100% off road, no tarmac, no cars please. I also do not use any GPS tool to save for Strava or similar pages.
a nice source for the place: Montes Universales, Serrania de Cuenca for cycling you can find here: https://montanasvacias.com
he has the route online and many explaining words.
anyway, all Spain is fantastic for off road touring, MANY MANY gravel roads everywhere.
best regards Stefan

Last year I did the Route of the Hiawatha Trail in ID & MT. There are more than a dozen tunnels. None are lit. Most are short, but the one crossing the state border is 1.66 miles long. There are also several high trestles. If youre ever out west in the states and like rail trails, its a must ride.

Can't believe they recommend only 350 lumens for the St. Paul Pass Tunnel. It's 1.66 miles long and completely unlit, and there are draining ditches on each side. I had a freshly charged 500 lumen light and would have liked a bit more.

Were you riding just west of Morgantown PA in eastern Lancaster County? Looks like my home 40.

Happy Feet enjoy your trip.
Both of you guys are making me gear up for a tour. NY has now allowed Marylanders back in
Bike touring up there or maybe another canoe trip through the Daks, hmmmmm. First I am off for gravel grinding in W. Va for a week, return for a bit then off again to NY!

Va for a week, return for a bit then off again to NY!You guys got me going when you posted about canoeing a while back. That was my backup for this summer, but I dumped my bike on the ice in early march, and tore 2 of the major tendons in my shoulder. I'll see the surgeon in October. We will try to do a short bike tour in September. Where are the Daks?
Have a good ride down in W. Virginia, and stay safe.
