Partimos desde la pintoresca localidad de Puentedey, donde pocos se resisten a inmortalizar su paso bajo el gigantesco puente natural excavado por el río Nela.
Por una senda agradable junto al río, nos dirigimos hacia Brizuela, desde donde afrontamos la circular de “Los Castros”, uno de los tramos más apreciados por los bikers de la zona, con senderos de ribera, trialeras, y miradores naturales de especial belleza.
Tras ello, afrontamos un ascenso donde habrá que gestionar bien la asistencia de la e-bike, por su longitud e importantes pendientes, que nos llevarán en poco tiempo a las zonas altas del Cotejerón, con espectaculares vistas, y donde alternamos la campiña con algunos tesoros ocultos como los hayedos de Leva y de Villabáscones, donde la capa de hojas convierte el camino en una tupida alfombra. En este último, pasaremos muy cerca de la cascada de las Pisas.
Alternado varios ascensos y descensos casi sin zonas llanas, vamos hacia Pedrosa de Valdeporres, por caminos sin dificultad técnica en una perfecta combinación de prados y robledales, con algunos ejemplares centenarios.
Desde ahí, por una ascensión tan exigente como impresionante, superamos la “pared” de roca caliza que nos da acceso a visitar el “Ventanón”, otro impresionante puente natural de roca.
La última parte del recorrido casi siempre favorable, alterna senderos llanos por las faldas del Dulla, con algún descenso, y un último tramo espectacular por el balcón natural sobre el río Nela que nos llevará de nuevo a Puentedey.
