Mini Trip Ubatuba > Serra Paraty-Cunha > Paraty

Mini Trip Ubatuba > Serra Paraty-Cunha > Paraty

Detalhes do Pedal:

A idéia dessa aventura, realizada com meu grande camarada Diego, surgiu quando ele leu que a Serra Paraty-Cunha era a serra mais difícil do estado do Rio. Então, pra esquentar as pernas antes da subida, decidimos sair de Ubatuba (SP) e viajar  um pouco pela Rio Santos BR-101.

A Rio-Santos (BR 101) é um dos meus lugares preferidos para pedalar no Brasil, pois alterna morros, montanhas com serras e lindos visuais das praias.  Decidimos encarar a subida mais difícil e a mais longa do Rio (mais de 1.400 metros de ascensão), mas incluímos um trecho de 80km da Rio-Santos entre Ubatuba e Paraty. 

Pegamos um ônibus às 23h no Rio e chegamos em Ubatuba às 4h.  Esperamos em um posto Ipiranga na própria BR-101 até ás 6h, para começarmos a aventura com a luz do dia.  Os quase 80km da Rio-Santos, entre Ubatuba-Paraty são uma delícia para pedalar, com morros curtos e visuais lindíssimos.  A única parte um pouco mais puxada é nos últimos 6km antes de chegar no Rio, pois é subida quase o tempo todo, mas logo depois encaramos uma descida deliciosa que nos leva quase até Paraty.

- Ride Safety Rating: 6 - Decently Safe
- Cultural and Tourism: 10 - Lots of things to see and do
- Level of Exercise Rating: 10 - Extremely hard
- Type of Terrain: - Asphalt - Good condition
- Description of Terrain:  SP-088 has no shoulder, but the asfalt in good condition and I felt pretty safe riding on the road. Few cars, and they don´t go very fast. The descent to Caraguatatuba was great, lots of speed traps and car slower than 40km/h. On Rio-Santos (BR 101), the shoulder can be great and terrible, but riding on the road at times isn´t bad at all. There is nos shoulder on the climbs and descents, as one more lane opens up for cars to go up, but it´s not a problem, mas there are many turns and cars can´t really go fast.
