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 […]
Many people ask us “when is the best time of the year to ride in Girona” and the answer is always Spring and Autumn. September is particularly good here in Girona for cycling. Temperatures are lower and the roads are clearer of the summer throngs. This means busy times for us and big groups on […]
