COURTS OF TRAFFIC

For this reason, the organization informs that on Saturday from the 15h to the 16: 30, the streets of Vara del Rey (direction Lardero) and Avenida Madrid (direction Lardero) will be cut off.

Therefore, you can only go by the N-111 to Lardero. The service roads of the N-111, the ascent to the Joto (Sorzano direction) and the LR-341 highway that connects the following towns will also be affected: Sorzano, Sojuela, Medrano, Daroca, Hornos de Moncalvillo, Sotés and Ventosa.

Then the N120A will also be cut to Huércanos and the LR-113 to Uruñuela to Cenicero. Then the cycling tour will continue through the Rioja Alavesa, direction Elciego, Laguardia and Lapuebla de Labarca to return next to the Ebro by the A-4202 and N-232A in Logroño sense.

 The Triathlon of La Rioja thanks all the towns where it goes through the environment that give test and take care of the security of the test, as well as the City of Logroño and all volunteers and collaborators that make it possible for a third edition of a WineTri that does not stop growing and that hooks all the triathletes who take part.
