Paterna-Oronet-Estivella-Rotonda Albalat-Garbi por Segart+Alt del PI-Paterna

Route for the brave, we climb two passes, Oronet and Alt del Pi via Segart. After topping the first (3.5 km at 5%), we descend towards the junction at the El Pla leisure park, Estivella, and direction Albalat until a roundabout indicating Segart. It is recommended to stop before the Albalat roundabout and have something to eat to face the remaining 11 km to the Alt del Pi. There is nothing as tough here as those initial 3 km from Segart: averages of 9%, 13%, 6% respectively with three incredible ramps – 200m at 18%, 200m at 22%, and 200m at 17% until reaching a first rest. The last one and a half kilometres before cresting the Garbi average 5-6% with 150m at 11%. We turn left and summit, a few metres of rest and immediately, on the left, an unmarked track appears leading up to 'the antennas', which given what we have in our legs will be a huge effort to climb. This is the final step: 1.3 km at an average of 12%, with ramps of 17% and barely 30 metres of rest. Without doubt, these two back-to-back climbs are a first category pass with great appeal due to their difficulty and incredible scenery. The return home follows the other side of the Garbi, heading to Serra, Canteras, Bétera... and Paterna.
