Barna Girona Gravel Ride 2026

Expecting the unexpected

Connecting Barcelona and Girona on gravel might sound like the obvious thing to do. But if you know us, you know we always look for a way off the beaten track.

This time we leave the Montnegre corridor behind and head into less explored ground: the Vallès Oriental and La Selva. A practically unseen route, a real gem. A demanding day on our gravel bikes – which is exactly what gets us going.

On 28 November a proper adventure awaits, the kind that leaves you with a few stories to tell at the end of the day.

And in Girona, Josep from Hors Catégorie will be waiting with an ear-to-ear grin (a slightly forced one – we know he’d love to be riding with us) and a big feast to refuel and swap the day’s stories.

Because, as we like to say at Velodrom:

The route

Barcelona → Girona, the other way

No Montnegre corridor this time: we cross the Vallès Oriental and head into La Selva on tracks most of us have never ridden. Two options with the same start and finish: the long one for those who want the full day, the short one with far less climbing. Both end at the table in Girona.

Rough estimate from a 07:30 start, for fun. Not a group pace.

FAQ

Before you sign up

Licence or insurance?

If you hold a valid federation licence, take the €60 ticket. If not, the €70 ticket includes one-day insurance for the ride.

What details do you need?

For every ticket: ID or passport number, date of birth, and the name and phone number of an emergency contact. Name and email are taken at checkout.

How does the bag transport work?

We carry your bag from the start in Barcelona to Girona, so you can ride light and change into dry clothes at Hors Catégorie. Details in the app before the ride.

How hard is it?

Long: 156 km and about 2,640 m of climbing. Short: 136 km and about 1,810 m. Mostly gravel either way, so it is a long day: come with gravel legs, lights and enough food for the stretches between stops.

Can I choose my lunch?

Yes. When you sign up you pick one main course: chicken, grilled salmon or vegan Buddha bowl, Gran Jornée burger or veggie burger.
