This cycling vacation is a VIP ONLY trip for cyclist who have been on a Mallorca trip with us in the past.

Level A/B | Peloton: GUIDE LED - Fitness is central to my life. I ride my bike regularly on a weekly basis and am comfortable with rides of 3-4 hours or more at a relatively strong pace. At home, I can maintain an average speed of 16-20+ mph. Expect 4+ hours of riding between 40-70 mi. and up to 8,000 ft of elevation.

Level B/C | Grupetto: GUIDE LED - I ride my bike on a regular basis either for fitness, to commute to work, or just for fun. I enjoy an active lifestyle with an occasional physical challenge. At home, I can maintain an average speed of 14-16 mph. Expect 4+ hours of riding between 30-50 mi. and up to 4,500 ft of elevation.

Due to this being the first time in Girona, everyone will be with a guide. There is a 10 Euro daily guide fee. There is no follow car, so you carry what you need. There is vehicle support in the event of an emergency at the discretion of the guide. But with the support of the guide and the others in your group, you are never far from a flat assist or a boost up that final climb.

The terrain is demanding. There is plenty of climbing on quiet, narrow, and winding roads; very little of it is flat. Although the ascents are not exceptionally steep, they are often upwards of several miles long and there are multiple climbs each day.

You will be provided with daily gpx files to download. On all of our cycling holidays, Parvilla Travel seeks to find quiet, paved secondary roads to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible.
