Dos Kiwis & Rustik – Whilst there are plenty of options on road and gravel, this 74 km gravel route is one of my favourites. Ride north out of Girona following the river around the Gavarres and roll along the flat farmlands of Empordà.
Mooma – This 96 km, 1,100 m gravel route is an amazing day out! Head out over the gravel track up Montnegre and drop down to pass through ceramics capital Bisbal (head to Pastisseria Cafeteria Font for a great slice of cake) At Mooma the best thing to do is sample the apple themed specials… Sweet botifarra cooked in apples, apple cake, cider, apple juice… The posisbilities are endless!
Dulce Pikika Costa Brava Cake run – a spectaular 115 km, 1,800 m extended coast ride with a pit stop for amazing cake at Dulce Pikika in Platja d’Aro. Prepare your legs for the brutal golf climb up from teh café stop, think of it as penance for your indulgence!
La Pera & the Medieval Villages – a fantastic 50 km road loop with a coffee stop in La Pera, a tiny village close to Monells wihtour the crowds. Order anything from the desert menu at Bar Restaurant L’Escola and you won’t be disappointed!
La Antiga Fabrica – a relaxed 40 km road cycling route to the south of Girona is our regular team lunchtime ride! It’s well worth stopping at La Antiga Fàbrica for a great coffee and a warm welcome!

The bike has always been an escape for me - a way to get rid of the stresses of the day, to set myself a physical & mental challenge, to meet great people and have ton of fun.
After years of studying, working in the sustainability sector and road racing on the UK circuit, I moved from London to Girona to pursue the dream of professional cycling.
Instead, something more incredible happened - I co-founded Eat Sleep Cycle in the cycling capital of Europe, Girona.
We create & deliver beautiful cycling tours all over Europe. We love what we do and that shows in our work.
