| 2008 GIRONA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN |
| Having lived in this Spanish town for six years while with the US Postal Team, Marty has a love for Girona, something he is only too willing to share with guests on this "Signature Tour." |
|
 |
Nestled in the northeast corner of Spain near the Mediterranean Coast, known as the Costa Brava, Girona offers year-round beauty, not to mention miles and miles of some of the world's finest riding. Why else would so many professional cyclists, including the majority of Americans racing in the pro peleton, call Girona home? Without a doubt Girona is one of Spain's most beautiful towns, with access to virtually everything Europe is known for: the finest culinary experiences, the special quaintness unique to the Old World, friendly and welcoming locals and, again, world-class cycling for all abilities and interests. All of this is just a few kilometers from the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. |
|
| The trip begins with rides in and around Girona, taking in its nearby countryside and passing field after glorious field of vibrant herbs and magnificently restored farmhouses. We'll climb the nearby Els Angels or San Grau, mountains on which the local professionals test themselves. Next, we'll head to the coast where there are typically more cyclists than cars. The roads along the Costa Brava flow like ribbon next to the sensuous beaches. We'll then ride towards the Pyrenees, where we'll pass through small villages and peaceful landscapes of Catalunya. Finally, we'll ride back to Girona through beautiful hills, valleys and mountains for our final evening together. |
| This tour offers incredibly diverse rides with spectacular scenery and cuisine. And, like the Catalans, we'll eat very well, savor the region's finest restaurants, and sample our share of the area's wine of choice, Rioja |
| Join us - We look forward to sharing our knowledge of Girona with you. |
