One more year the Cycle-Walk has become the ideal closure to live in the sport and remember that in Lorca you enjoy physical activity as in very few places.
The Sports Complex Felipe VI, the temple of the sport, was the seat of this great popular activity.
From 10 o'clock the participants, alone, groups of friends or entire families, were arriving to register and collect their t-shirt.
From the first hour you could see some of the funniest costumes: communion girls and boys, patriots with the colors of the Spanish flag on the Day of Hispanity, Indians and princesses, ...
Towards 11.15 was the departure and hundreds of bicycles took to the streets to joyfully dismiss the Sports Games of Guadalentín.
Avenida Europa was the first great artery to receive the multicolored serpent, who faced the Armed Forces Avenue and the Calle Mayor before ascending the Puente del Barrio and taking the historic center by Santo Domingo-Lope Gisbert-Prince Alfonso to arrive to the Oval.
From there it was followed by Jerónimo Santa Fe, Avenida Adolfo Suárez and Carretera de Granada, it was lowered by the South Ronda and the Central Round was approached to descend by the Tocinos Bridge, the rambla and return to the CD Felipe VI for the official closure after to travel more than 9 kilometers.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot of the Sports Complex, the youngest boys and girls with bicycles with rollers could enjoy a small circuit.
Reunited again, from the Association Lorca Biciudad was read a manifesto that commemorated the tenth anniversary of this group and from which it was wanted to raise awareness about the importance of using the bicycle to promote mobility and make Lorca a better city in its displacement;

Next, the Councilor for Sports, Juan Miguel Bayonas took the floor to thank all the cyclists for making the Cycle-Walk a success, at the same time that he had words for all the collaborators, and especially for the Committee of the Games and workers of the Department of Sports.
The next event was the awarding of prizes corresponding to the Day of Popular and Traditional Games, to later give place to the best disguises of the Cycle-Walk.
