We tend to be pretty flexible on itinerary and try to offer multiple routes each day for all abilities. Â Below is a sample of what to expect from the trip.
Day 1 – Arrive in Girona.  Potential shake-down ride depending on arrival time
Day 2 – Check bikes,  Warm up ride to Banlones where we stop for coffee next to the famous lake. A hotspot for pro spotting.
Day 3 – Today we ride further inland where take on the famous climb up to a local dam. Potential pre-dinner QA session.
Day 4 – The DPCC Epic.  Today we ride some classic roads from the Vuelta and take-on some of the large local climbs.  Including an accent of the famous Rococorba.
Day 5 – A recovery ride for those wanting one or more climbs for those wanting to push on! Potential pre-dinner QA session.
Day 6 – After the day 5 recovery ride we mix things up to accommodate different training needs.  Some will want to go flatter others hit the hills for another epic.  We’ll present the routes and it up to you to decide. Â
Day 7 – The final full day of riding and again different routes will be on offer for those wanting to push themselves to the max and those wanting a more relaxed end to the trip.  Epic climbs, views and coffee stops as standard before a final well earned night out in Girona.Â
Day 8 – Departure day: It’s unfortunately time to return home or maybe one last short ride and tostada for those flying out later.
