Madrid 7 Picos is a cycling event in the Sierra de Madrid, based around Buitrago del Lozoya in the Valle Medio del Lozoya. The town is located approximately 75 km north of Madrid city, at the foot of the Puerto de Somosierra, so the ride begins from a location already closely associated with mountain cycling.
The Sierra fills with hundreds of cyclists on weekends, many riding in groups and using its climbs to test themselves. Madrid 7 Picos builds on that local habit: a sportive ride designed for people who want a hard day on the bike in the mountains north of the city.
