MADLAND GRAVEL CAMINO DE UCLÉS is a non-competitive cycling activity, organized by Forevent Servicios ORGANIZATIVOS, with the collaboration of KBIKE and the sponsorship of SPECIALIZED, on Saturday October 15, 2022 at 7:30 am, starting in the town of Morata de Tajuña (Madrid), and aiming to reach the Monastery of Uclés, as the destination point of the pilgrimage.

The suggested format is of a NON COMPETITIVE nature. It is not a race, nor a walk. It is a personal challenge where each participant is required to respect at all times the Road Safety Law and the General Traffic Regulations in force in Spain, as well as any other regulations in force along the route provided by the Organization and at no time has special priority over other users of the roads along the established itinerary.
Details about road safety can be found in Article 7 of these Regulations.

There is a timing system in certain identified and pre-established sections, where those participants who are more familiar with the competition will be able to measure their strength against each other and against the time.
There will be a ranking per section and a general ranking resulting from the sum of all the timed sections.

There are cut-off times and schedules. These cut-off times, placed at the technical and refreshment points by the Organization, will be more than enough so that all participants, regardless of their level, can enjoy the race with the minimum physical condition necessary to face these distances.
The cut-off times must be respected by the participants for safety reasons.In case of failure to comply with this schedule, the participant may either continue by his own means without the support or responsibility of the Organizer, or may choose the shortest or easiest route to return to his starting point. The cut-off times will be published in the Graveler's Guide published and announced on the official website and RR.SS.

In the case of abandonment due to a breakdown that makes it impossible for the participant, the Organization cannot be held responsible for the pick-up of the participant. It makes available as far as possible a return to the start through the staff of each of the checkpoints once the passage of all cyclists has been completed.

There will be a SIGNALING of the route at certain points, recommending the use of GPS tracking of a Track delivered by the Organization. It will be mandatory to follow the itinerary marked by the track. The official and definitive Track will be sent to each participant in the weeks prior to the date of the event.

Type of BICYCLE: This event has been designed for Gravel type bicycles. However, the use of any type of bicycle capable of off-road riding is permitted.

The presence of e-bike versions, in principle is not contemplated in this regulation. If there is a demand for the participation of e-bikes, the Organization will evaluate and manage their presence.

There are 3 options or modalities of route:

INDIVIDUAL: MORATA - MONASTERIO DE UCLÉS, Round Trip. 162,5 KM

INDIVIDUAL ONE WAY: MORATA - MONASTERY OF UCLÉS 81 KM.

COUPLES: 1 component does the Outward journey and the other component of the couple does the Return journey.

The types of terrain along the route are varied, alternating between regional roads with asphalt and dirt mountain roads. The use of off road tires of between 37 mm and 42 mm minimum is recommended. The perfect condition of the bike is mandatory to safely face the entire route

In case of abandonment, it will be mandatory to communicate it as soon as possible to the Organization's staff, either at one of the control points or through the telephone number provided by the Organization.

The participant knows that it is required a previous adequate training and not suffer any injury that may be aggravated as a result of the realization of the test, so the pre-registration implies the express recognition by the person who performs it to meet both conditions, exempting the Organization of any liability for failure to comply with all of the above.

One of the objectives and desires of MADLAND is to show the richness in terms of landscape and nature that has the Camino de Uclés. One of our objectives is to demonstrate that its enjoyment can be compatible with active tourism activities.

The route runs mostly through natural landscapes of exceptional beauty, so it will be everyone's obligation to preserve the environment and it is strictly forbidden to throw waste outside the control areas. In order to contribute to a minimum environmental impact of the race, participants will use the containers located at the refreshment posts and strategic points to throw away packaging, wrappers or leftover food.

The acceptance of these regulations implies that the participant authorizes the Organization of the event, the total or partial recording of his participation in the event, and gives his consent to use his image in the promotion and dissemination of the race, in all possible ways (radio, press, video, photo, internet, posters, media and social networks) and assigns all rights relating to commercial and advertising exploitation that the Organization deems appropriate to execute, without the right on his part to receive any financial compensation.

All interested parties may exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition of their data by email to: info@forevent.es

The mere fact of registering in this event implies the acceptance of these regulations and the waiver of all rights against the Organization, waiving any legal action that may arise from their participation in the event.
