Lunch is always included at the track for you so take the time to enjoy lunch with your coach and focus of the key turns that are challenging you. By the afternoon you’ll start to understand how that famous pass Rossi took on Lorenzo in 2009 was just so amazing. Passengers you’ll have had a great second day roaming about Barcelona.

Passengers may want to take a ride with Troy Corser around the circuit. Tonight we all regroup for dinner and hear the plan for the next few days.

Day 5 Montmeló to Platja d’Aro

Today we first head north into the mountains of Montseny and Guillerires Natural Parks. The curves take us east to the coast where we stop in Tossa de Mar. Next up a true curvy coastal challenge in the Massís de Cadiretes a protected natural region linked together by a few villages. You are now riding the Catalan Costa Brava. Well take a final mountain run before stopping for the night in Platja d’Aro.

Day 6 Costa Brava to Colliure

Today we explore the Costa Brava region, head through some of the medieval villages of Baix Empordá and ride across the fertile fields to Cadaqués. This little beach town for centuries has been a gathering spot for artists like Dali and Picasso. Today, it’s also a rather popular tourism spot for sun seekers. Hop over the mountain to the north and stop in on Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery which has been there since the late 800s. It’s been partially restored and still commands an impressive view. Then another trip defining ride along the mountain curves above the ocean that’s pure Costa Brava. We cross over into France and stay in the coastal harbor town of Collioure.

Day 7 Colliure to Guilleries Mountains

This morning we head east and climb into the the Pyrenees mountains to cross a mountain pass on the border of France and Spain, Col d’Ares. We take that back road down to the medieval village of Besalú. Then up into the mountains to Garrotxa Volcanic National Park. From here we head south on an insane mountain road that takes us into a valley of impossible beauty with the Pyrenees cliffs high above. We climb again into the Les Guilleries mountains to our hotel for the night.

Day 8 Guilleries Mountains to Cam Boix

It’s time to get a little Pyrenees action in with high mountains, deep river valleys and no traffic. We head east into the rolling hills of Llusanés and then north to the Cadí-Moixeró National Park. Finishing up with a long curvy lake run up the Oliana valley to our hotel for the night. This will certainly tempt you to come back to ride more of the Pyrenees. Tonight we stay in a lovely isolated area of Cam Boix.

Day 9 Can Boix to Tortosa

After breakfast you’re treated to another Pyrenees pass, Coll de Bóixols before we head south through Sierra del Montsec. The land begins to change, alpine forest give way to vineyards then, vast olive groves as we head south. A new world of twisty roads greets us as we enter  the rustic mountains of Serra Montsant and then ride along the Ebre river to our little castle hotel in Tortosa.

Day 10 Tortosa to Barcelona

It’s hard to leave our little castle above the town of Tortosa but a final day of fun awaits. If you lived in Barcelona and went on a great Sunday ride, this is where you would go. The dense patch of curvy roads through the Muntanyes de Prades. We are on the route local riders from Barcelona know well. From here we rely on local experience and guile to bypass the Barcelona traffic and get us safely back to the bike station near our hotel. Join everyone for a final farewell dinner. Take a walk in the evening in front of the Palau Nacional de Montjuïc, a massive palace that houses the art treasures of Catalunya.

Day 11 Departure

With all your luggage we recommend just taking a cab from our hotel in the Sants region of Barcelona to the airport. Since we have your departure information we can try to help link up parties to share cabs. Be sure to get everyones email and social media information so you can share photos and join your new friends on another track and tour adventure.
