Tour Itinerary

Day 1 :
Hincapie Loop

Distance: 65km
 Accent (Climb) 930m ⛰
Over the years, this ride has come to be known as the “Hincapie Loop”, after George Hincapie, one of many professional cyclists who has at one time called Girona home.
Starting at La Comuna, we take in Girona’s most famous road bike climb, Els Àngels, followed by some speedy descending, to the picturesque medieval village of Monells, with it’s beautiful cobbled square is a must. We continue on through some rolling terrain, then up the Santa Pellaia climb – popular among pro athletes because of its soft, steady gradient. Views abound, over the Gavarres natural park, on both climbs.
The descent from Santa Pellaia to Cassa de la Selva is fast but fun, and we come back in to Girona from the south, returning to the Barri Vell (Old Town)
Hincapie Loop

2:30 hours
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 2 :
Sant Hilari

Distance: 105km
 Accent (Climb) 132m ⛰
Sant Hilari climb is very loooong, 25 km, but still its easy with a average gradience of 2,6% you climb to 820m, so it´s not exactly in the, but it’s a stunning climb and the first 10 km is very easy, but as soon at you passes the small mountain city Osor it start kiks in with a solid 5-7% for 7 km and then it flattens out again for the last part.
I love the climb because it offers great peace beauty all year around and after Orsor, there’s close to no cars at all and the downhill on the other side you maybe meet one car if you are lucky.
From the top it’s a very fast descend and then some rolling hills back into Girona

4 hours
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 3 :

Distance: 53km
 Accent (Climb) 550m ⛰

The Bon Mati loop makes a beautiful route for day 3. Essentially a  half day ride with easy and short climbs and a great view of the mountains. Like so many other routes in Girona and around Catalunya, there is very little traffic- giving you the feeling that these roads were made just for you!

Breakfast, Lunch
Day 4 :
Rocacorba

Distance: 71km
 Accent (Climb) 1500m
The ride leading to the bottom of the Rocacorba climb is a route of beautiful rolling hills, allowing you to save energy on the small hills which you will need for Rocacorba. Easily one of Girona’s best-known and toughest cycling climb. It’s not a steady climb, instead some very steep parts and then some flats.

The most challenging of the day will be mid way with a 3 km climb with an average of 10% gradient, and then again the last bit where it kicks in with a 10% gradient for the last 1,5 km.

It’s all worth it- view is indescribable. Panoramic.  On a clear day you can see all the way to the Costa Brava as well as the Pyrenees mountains.

Breakfast, Lunch
