An experience that goes beyond cycling - an authentic journey that explores the roads, restaurants, mountains & more. A perfect balance that allows you to push yourself as hard as you choose but also a chance to relax, and soak up the stunning vistas of the regions. For us it’s all in the detail & care - from the moment you are collected at the airport, you will be looked after by us with meticulous care throughout the entire journey - from the daily cleaned and serviced bike, the fully equipped support vehicle & freshly laundered kit.

Great trip! The roads of Strade Bianche did not disappoint! Paul, Chippy and Phil were great support and kept us all on the right path. Great times with fun friends. Good food, wine and rides. Thanks for another terrific trip.

Wow--great cycling. Great organization, accommodations, and food. Warm swims in Lake Annecy and big climbs up Alpe d'Huez (particularly off the back side!) were epic memories. Thanks to Paul and Michale "Chippy" Chipchase for putting on this bonanza of summer goodness.

The gravel experience was one to remember. Paul and Chippy know how to curate a "wholistic" bike adventure...amazing routes, awesome food, top notch service and lots of fun! I felt like a pro for a week!

By Raymond A for Girona Gravel in association with Hopper Adventures on Jun 13, 2023

Girona Gravel was an amazing adventure. Everything from start to finish was world class. The routes were challenging and spectacular. The food was outrageously delicious and the hotels were first class. Nothing like starting a new day with a great breakfast, a clean bike and an extraordinary adventure waiting. Michael, Paul and James are top notch. Can not wait to book another trip with Girona Velo...!!!
