A cool morning wind slides under Ronda’s stone arches as riders glide down to the river and begin the climb west toward Montejaque. The route threads quiet white-village lanes, pushes over two solid climbs and rewards with long, fast descents; the Cueva del Gato appears like a polished hole in the limestone, a pool that dares you to pause and cool off.
