As always there will be daily shop rides from Bike Breaks or the race village during the festival week.

Join us for the spin of your choice, we will have 3 ride levels each day, all leaving from the same place so you can decide depending on how the legs feel each day.

During the week we will get a sneak peak of what the Rocacorba Food Truck has to offer, apart from great coffee and cake.

Our friends at Dos Kiwis Brewery in the Empordà region will host some of the shop rides during the Festival week. Riders will have a relaxing stop in their brewery garden.

We will definitely repeat the fantastic mid ride stop at the most colourful farmhouse Can Portell, where owner Debbie surprised us with a mariachi band and an amazing selection of home-made juices and snacks. Feel free to plunge into the pool before getting back on the bike.

Located just on the edge of the Les Gavarres Mountain Nature Reserve, this well known local restaurant provides an amazing setting for our Gala Festival event.

I have been going to the Girona Cycling Festival every year since 2014 and it’s the first cycling trip that goes in the diary every year. The Gold Pack has everything you could want and more – Entries to all of the cycling events, guided group rides with Josep, and if you are lucky you might get to follow the wheels of some of the resident professionals for a while before they peel off to do their hard work for the day. As well as the great riding and the friendship, the Gold Pack also includes all of the social events that take place through the week, as well as some exclusives. This year the “Food Tour” had to be tasted to be believed.

Definitely can’t wait to see what June 2019 has in store!

David Morgan

It’s the third time I’ve participated in the Gold Pack and there are a number of fantastic things I really enjoy about this package.

Numbers are strictly limited allowing for the participants to get to know each other well. A few of the others have done every Gold Pack event since the event started five years ago so it’s always good to see them again.

A few of the highlights were riding and coffee with the pro’s, a fantastic Catalan meal

with the best Arrós I’ve ever eaten which is a local rice dish , the Girona Food Tour which took in a number of local restaurants as well as some historical information on the old town, Jeweller tour where we watched the production process of the Gold being melted and cast into moulds (this was super cool) met Rory

Sutherland at his Cafe to learn about his new venture (was great to be able to ask questions about his career) an exclusive

evening fully catered meal at the Local Market which specialises in small groups and served all local produce. The events which are all included in the package were well organised and catered for, being for Gold Pack members we had exclusive front start position on the Grand Fondo as well as food and beverages at the race village. All and all I really enjoyed the whole Gold Pack cycling week, it’s a week long celebration to cycling with food, wine, friends and some cycling thrown in to boot. I’ll be back again next year for sure, highly recommend the Gold Pack to anyone looking for something special.
