MTB training camp program:
The whole week will be dedicated to the ‘Girona MTB Challenge‘, which is considered one of the most beautiful mountain biking events in Catalonia, where mountain biking is very popular.
It is important that you train regularly (at least 1-3 times a week) before arriving on the trip. We will start on Monday afternoon with a lighter workout in the Girona Mountains of Les Gavarres. The next day we will do longer rides where we will explore the competitive terrain and further acclimatize. The third day will be devoted to riding technique (braking, mountain bike position, difficult descents) + extra circuit for enthusiasts. The fourth day will be relaxing, we will pick up the starting numbers and prepare the bikes. On the fifth day, the adventure begins – 3 competitive days with a start in the center of Girona, where our team will assist you.
Training takes place in the morning (except for the first day), after the training return to Girona (14: 00-15: 00) with the possibility of a group lunch with a coach. In the afternoon with cyclists a free program that you can use for hiking in the area (visit to wine cellars, a trip to the Costa Brava, a tour of historic Girona, access to local Romanesque baths) or to sit in local cafes run by former professional cyclists.
