Spissky HRAD - szosa

The most beautiful mountain loop you can do with a road bike from Szczawnica!It can also be called the route around the Levoča Mountains.Amateur cyclists should not be misled by the lower mileage compared to the loop around the Tatra Mountains and the maximum height below 850 m above sea level. If that route is too hard, this one probably will be, too. There is more flat and long climbs there. Here everything is rough and besides the large hills, there are plenty of smaller ones. There are more brutal steep sections to climb! If I start off too hard in the morning, then my cadence drops to 30 on one of them later, even though I have a gear ratio of 30/25 - pretty good for a female cyclist. Specifically, this is in the vicinity of the village of Bajerovce, about 125 km of route. I do not recommend tackling it in the opposite direction, as there will be more braking. For example, on the aforementioned climb, there is a sharp hairpin. And it is better to tackle the unpleasant section along the busy national road over the hills near Spiská Biała on a Sunday morning than in the afternoon.I would also add that I compared this with the classic route around the Tatras from Nowy Targ. Like the well-known Rally that has been organized for years. About 200 km, 2000 m of elevation gain. From Zakopane, the time is probably similar (while from Szczawnica, that loop becomes very long, as it adds at least 50 km). And I have sometimes managed to do this Rally in less than 8 hours, but on the condition that I let myself get carried away by a slightly competitive atmosphere. Not too much, so I don't crash at the end :) I haven't completed this route here in less than 9 hours yet. In fact, I ride it alone and I can never resist taking photos. Even when I'm in a hurry because I start too late :) I think it's more picturesque here!Oh, at first, it showed me 2300 m of elevation, which is probably too much. Now, after confirmation, only 1700 m. Well, that's quite a drop, and probably also too much, especially the separately indicated maximum height is now too low. Does anyone know what the deal is? Is the truth somewhere in the middle? Is there a service somewhere on the Internet that counts more reliably?
