High skill level route at the Arripiado - Chamusca Cycling Center, that runs along agricultural paths, crosses the town of Carregueira to the south, and passes through the valleys and hills of the Ribatejo region, where cork and eucalyptus dominate. The paths are mostly wide, passing through small sections on more technical tracks, the terrain is mostly made of dirt tracks and the layout has different levels of uneveness.
