The Traka Girona
with Signature Cycles
The Traka Girona with Signature Cycles
Ride Europe’s best Gravel race: The Traka, and meet and ride with the Movistar Team pro gravel squad.
Girona is well known as the perfect roadie destination, but the city and the surrounding Catalan countryside have way more to offer than the much-loved paved roads of the many PRO cyclists who live in the area. Go Beyond Tarmac and discover the real beauty of this fascinating region.
