The best part of working in a bike shop is always when you get to deliver a new bike to its owner. Something special about getting a new bike, this never changes no matter how old or how many bikes you get. This week Girona Cycle Centre took delivery of the first batch of the […]
After the crazy few weeks we have had moving from our previous home of 7 years into the incredible new space in Carrer Nou we are now starting to settle back into a normal Girona routine. As part of that routine we have the weekly Thursday shop ride, running since 2012 its part of the […]
As the summer is passing behind us we are beginning to enter the Autumn in Girona. For me it’s one of the best time of the year to ride in Girona. We have generally dry days and blue skies and it stays warm normally well into October. This week’s shop ride was one of those […]
Autumn Epics Knowing where to ride in Girona can make all the difference when you come here for a cycling trip. I always try to make some big Epic days at this time of year when we have good groups in town. I try to never rush the ride, we stop and we eat but […]
