CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Bicorp it runs 395 km to Bicorp; allow about 8 h 00 of riding. It goes by way of Abrigo I, Abric de Gontrán and back through Abrigo I. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 850 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available.
Bicorp's name appears on the map of rock art mainly because of its famous spider cave, but the Cueva Moma sits a few kilometres south-west of the village and has its own quiet claim to attention. It is a Levantine painted site in the dry highlands of the Canal de Navarrés, in the middle of inland Valencia, where the hills are steep, the villages small and the roads wander.

Cueva moma is where the day begins. Next is Abrigo I.
Here the wide plains of La Mancha begin to tilt towards the coast, and the country turns into a patchwork of vineyards, cereal fields and low, pine-covered ridges. Alpera, Carcelén and Alatoz are small villages in the east of Albacete province, close to the border with Valencia, and the landscape has a high, windy character with big skies and few trees on the open ground. The Júcar river runs through a deeper, more broken country to the south, with canyons and reservoirs that give the otherwise dry terrain a green edge.

Abrigo I comes up about 126 km into the recorded legs. Next is Abric de Gontrán.
Head south-west from Xàtiva along the old road to Castile and you climb gently into a corridor between two mountain ranges, the Serra Grossa on one side and the Serra de Enguera on the other. The town of Moixent sits where the corridor narrows, with Vallada just downstream and the vineyards of Fontanars dels Alforins on the plateau beyond. The Abric de Gontran lies in the hills just outside Moixent.
