Day Six Cue Sheet
Logroño – Haro (48km)
The recent inauguration of the GR 99 long-distance hiking route gives cyclists with offroad-ready bikes a goodchance to discover a different way to see La Rioja. (Road riders will want to stick to the various roads north of theEbro.)Note that the mountain ranges that define the north and south edges of La Rioja can work as a funnel foreasterly winds, creating headwind hell if there’s a storm blowing in. In that case, you may prefer to stay closer tothe river, or take the train from Logroño.
