Tips & Advice
- Arrange medical insurance that covers cycling before you travel, because it is mandatory and the team asks for your provider's details in advance.
- Add bike rental when you book so the team can tell you which models are available in your size, as bikes are subject to availability.
- If you rent an e-bike, consider adding a range extender, since it doubles the bike's standard battery range for an extra charge.
- Travel to Barcelona or Girona and head to the Eat Sleep Cycle hub on day one for the welcome briefing and warm-up ride.
- Bringing your own bike works well too, as the Hotel Carlemany welcomes cyclists and has a secure bike room for guests.
