Belgian Waffle Ride
Girona Survival Camp

For most cyclists, the legendary Rocacorba climb is an out-and- back route, but not for us! We’re here to tackle Rocacorba from its dirt side, which allows us to complete a perfect, stunning, and challenging loop.

It’s going to be tough, but the experience will be priceless, since riding Rocacorba on gravel bikes and gravel roads is considered the hidden gem of the region. This unique path will test our endurance and skills while offering unparalleled views and an unforgettable adventure. Prepare for an extraordinary experience that showcases the true essence of Girona’s rugged beauty.

Afternoon activity: “Training and nutrition tips” with Michael Sayers, National and Olympic Cycling Coach.

A stay in Girona wouldn’t be complete without riding the iconic Els Angels, located right on the outskirts of Girona city. Much like Rocacorba, Els Angels also has a lesser-known climb on dirt paths. Our journey will take us through Girona’s charming Old Town district, where we’ll pause to enjoy a good coffee and refuel. From there, we will ascend to Els Angels, taking the scenic dirt roads that connects the city to the mountain. This ride promises to combine the historic allure of Girona with the natural beauty of its surroundings, offering a truly unique and memorable cycling experience. Get ready to explore the hidden trails and breathtaking views that make this region so special.

And now it’s time for Besalú. Potentially the most beautiful medieval town in Girona, its old architecture, including the castle, walls, gates and bridges, is simply stunning. The mountains that surround this picturesque town only add to its charm. This incredibly challenging and scenic loop will definitely show you why countless top pro riders have chosen Girona as their home region. The blend of historic beauty and natural splendor makes this day an unforgettable experience.

The Girona region is vast, with towering mountains scattered throughout. This stage will take us to one of its prominent mountain areas known as El Montseny. The elevation gain speaks for itself…it’s going to be a challenging ride! However, the effort will be well worth it as our next destination is an incredible spa hotel. Nestled in an area renowned for its pristine waters and lush forests, this spa promises ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation after a demanding day of cycling. Prepare for an exhilarating adventure through the majestic mountains, culminating in a tranquil retreat that perfectly balances effort and reward.

Our final ride will offer a remarkable glimpse into Sant Hilari’s diverse landscape, featuring smooth descents, top-notch climbs and terrain that is both challenging and playful. Like the entire trip, this ride combines paved and unpaved roads, allowing us to delve deeper into this fantastic region. And remember, there’s no better way to cap off a demanding six-day riding program than by spending some time in the spa. This luxurious retreat will provide the perfect ending to our adventure. You are sure to fall in love with this place, making it a memorable conclusion to an incredible journey.
