Are You Ready to Hit Play on Midlife?
Join us for an immersive week full of exploring on bikes, reflecting on where we are and what we want, setting our intentions, and connecting with a community of feisty women who are here to support and celebrate you on the journey.
Midlife is a time of major transition but often we’re so busy that we don’t have the time or bandwidth to slow down and process what we really want for our lives.
That’s why we created the Girona Gravel Experience. Because now is the time.
