Many of you know that our town and its surroundings are the best place to go to for great off road cycling routes of Girona. But if you think the road cycling is great, the gravel riding will completely blow you away. The possibilities are endless!
When you are on the roads, you might not notice it but in Girona province there are still more roads made of gravel than of tarmac. Riding these old roads opens a completely new world of endless days of great riding.
For years, mountain biking has been the main cycling discipline for the locals. That means that there are also lots of great and challenging tracks and trails.
