PROXIMA 3-3

The mission commenced in the rugged terrain surrounding the Picos de Europa, Spain. Operators navigated a complex corridor characterized by abrupt elevation changes and plunging valleys, transitioning through the Galician highlands towards the Atlantic coast. This route demanded constant attention to the variable environment. Technically, this mission is a significant grinder. Operators can expect sustained periods of punishing climbs interspersed with brief, rapid descents that test deceleration capabilities. Speed sectors indicate a stop-start rhythm, reflecting the challenging topography and requiring precise throttle and brake application throughout. This route is best described as a masterclass in how not to plan a Sunday ride.
