Welcome to the ultimate week of road cycling in Girona! Start the week with George Hincapie’s favourite training loop which includes the climbs of Els Àngles & Santa Pelaia. On day 2 make a beeline for the mediterranean on a classic Costa Brava loop and climb San Grau. The coast road is one of the most spectacular roads in the world, prepare to enjoy! On day 3 ride west and into the mountains. The climb of the day is up to the town of Sant Hilari Sacalm. The long ascent winds along a forested river for over 20 km. On day 4 a true classic awaits – Rocacorba! The KOM is one coveted by Pro Cyclists and the views at the top do not disappoint.
