From Monday 28 Oct to 2 Nov, our Ride2Catalunya is an Enduro Training Camp set in the mountains of Barcelona and Gerona. If you are not familiar with the region, you have been missing out. When the weather turns nasty in the rest of Europe, the Catalonian sun lights up some of the best trails you will ever ride. From the Montnegre Nature Reserve in Barcelona to the woods of Gerona, the hills are littered with such a varied array of trails, it is hard to believe this area is still a hidden gem to most.
We stay in the luxurious 4star beachside hotel Onabrava in the village of Santa Susanna, with indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, fitness and trails galore 10 minutes cycling from the hotel.
We have a secure and very spacious bike room with all the necessary tools to use freely and accessible with our room card.
Temperatures in October-November range between 15 - 20 degrees Celsius and rain is a rare phenomenon that locals refer to as "something wet that falls on Irish people".
We ride a total of 5 days. The first 2 days in the surrounding hills of the Montnegre Nature Reserve, a protected Mediterranean forest of 15,000 ha where the locals (read: your guide) have built trails that range from easy to expert. The following 2 days we ride in Riudarenes - Santa Coloma hills. No less than 23 different trails flow through a beautiful pine and stone oak forest. We have yet to hear someone say that they did not like to ride here. It's simply stunning!
The focus is on fun. We stop to do some specific training but always try to just ride the trails from start to finish; nothing better than to get into the flow! We shuttle to most of the trails.
Bring your equipment! Elbow and knee pads are a must, a full face helmet and body armour are no luxury. A good quality Enduro style bike (minimum 5"/140mm+ of travel), high volume tyres (2.3"+) should be your weapon of choice on these trails. If you don´t want to bring your own bike, we can provide a rental bike:
