Our hotel

We are staying at Hotel Arcs de Monells, a well-located venue just outside of the busy streets of Girona. The hotel is booked on a half-board basis, with breakfasts and evening meals included. 5 nights of the week you will eat a restaurant attached to the hotel and the other two, you will dine in the local village square restaurant. You will also have free access to the secure bike store and all of the hotel’s amenities.

Every day you have the opportunity to join one of two groups based on your level of fitness and what your goals are. There is no requirement to stick with the same group each day – you can decide what works best for you each morning!

Please note – Given that the terrain in Girona can be demanding, it is recommended that riders are capable of comfortably covering at least 80km and climbing 800m each day. Additionally, a solid level of confidence and skill in essential techniques such as cornering, climbing, descending, as well as the effective and safe use of brakes and gears, is advised.

Team Giro – Medium touring pace

• Elevation: 600m – 1400m maximum
• Distance: 75km-110km
• Average speed: 23kmph – 26kmph
• Skill required: Medium (2-3)
• Minimum fitness requirement – ability to ride 120 minutes without stopping in a group at a comfortable pace

The Leisure Touring Group rides at a comfortable pace, where enjoyment of the wonderful views and excellent coffee stops are deemed more important than a high average speed. We find quiet roads with breath-taking scenery, passing through the beautiful countryside’s. Beautiful scenery varies from riding long, open roads to off beaten tracks and country lanes, that are unknown to most visitors of the region.

Team Vuelta – Competitive sportive pace

• Elevation: 800m – 2000m maximum
• Distance: 75km – 140km
• Average: 26kmph+
• Skill required: High (4-5)
• Distance of 75 – 140km per day depending on terrain and coffee/lunch stop
• Minimum fitness requirement – ability to ride 120 minutes without stopping in a group at a competitive sportive pace.

A degree of on-bike fitness is required before you arrive in Girona as it can be physically challenging, and you will take on some hill climbs and descents, but the Team Giro group is primarily about the enjoyment of cycling through the countryside of Mallorca. The group is structured and co-ordinated to ensure efficient cycling with the objective of going to places of interest, all sharing the pace and riding as an organised touring group. Moving in unison to assist each other to get to a place ensures skill development and after your stay, fitness will be developed allowing you to progress on to bigger touring challenges. 

If you are feeling confident or you are tired on one riding day, you have the option of changing groups to suit your needs. You can switch between the two groups on a day-by-day basis.

Join us, it is always fun! We stop for coffee and cake in the morning, as well as a lunch stop, plus sometimes an afternoon stop on longer rides.
