This is how I lived this epic event from inside this year.
I hope you like.

I couldnt record anything the last km, It was really hard with the rain and the mud. I will write an acount next days on my blog. I hope to write something in english as well.

There was some english spoken people there, one of the wrote this on his facebook:

Rode in my first gravel race/Granfondo here in Spain. 164 kilometers with 55 or so on gravel along the Canal de Castilla. A neat professional event with sag wagons, ambulances, cops, mechanical support, food and showers as part of the entry fee (about 50 bucks). My ride didn't go as planned - I flatted early, destroyed a derailleur, fell down hard in the gravel and rode 80k in pouring rain with my bike as a 53x13 single speed. Of course all of this makes the ride all the more memorable, naturally. Big fun.
