Barueri-Itu-Barueri

Tough route, despite the average mileage: some climbs are punishing. From Barueri to Pirapora, the ups and downs are fierce; from Pirapora to Cabreúva, less so; from Cabreúva to Itu much of it is flat, calmly bordering the Tietê River. On the way back, a stop at Fazenda do Chocolate is a good idea if you are leisurely riding. If you are training, make sure not to overdo it at the start, or you'll pay the price at the end. As mentioned, the hardest climbs are right at the beginning, which means they'll also be at the very end.
