SHERRY BIKE MARATON
The SHERRY BIKE combines the personal challenge with the opportunity to discover one of Spain’s great cultural and natural heritages, Jerez de la Frontera and the Marco del Jerez. Cyclists will ride through the most famous avenues, streets and squares of the city of Jerez de la Frontera and the most magical paths and lanes of the vineyards of the Marco del Sherry.
The SHERRY BIKE is designed for everyone, so you can enjoy it with MTB, GRAVEL and E-MTB bikes.
Description
The Sherry Bike Marathon will have a distance of approximately 81 kms, starting on Saturday 3rd May at 8:30 am from the Las Copas de Gonzalez Byass winery. The first kilometres are an urban route through the main streets of the city before entering the sea of vineyards of the Marco del Jerez.
Once immersed in the vineyards, we will head towards El Puerto de Santa María, touring its vineyards before returning to Jerez in the direction of Mesas de Asta, passing through some of the most representative vineyards of the Marco del Jerez with their characteristic vineyard houses.
Once we arrive at Mesas de Asta, we will return to Meta crossing new estates and vineyards until we reach Jerez where we will arrive at the winery Las Copas de Gonzalez Byass, where the finish line will be installed.
