Day 1:Welcome to Benasque
Our adventure begins early, so we recommend that guests arrive in Barcelona the day before to ensure they’re ready at the designated group pickup location for the morning transfer to the mountains. We’ll depart at 8:00 a.m. from the pre-designated meeting location and set out on a scenic four-hour shuttle into the heart of the Pyrenees. Once in the mountains we will enjoy a tapas-style buffet lunch and a short pre-trip briefing before getting our bikes ready — either assembling personal bikes or setting up rentals. Once our bellies are full with our fist taste of delicious Spanish cuisine we will hit the trails. This afternoon, a 30-minute shuttle takes us high into the mountains for our first warm-up ride — a breathtaking loop through a natural mountain amphitheater that winds around the ridge line before dropping down a flowing trail to the charming village below. We’ll wrap up the day with a hearty Welcome Dinner at our hotel which is a beautifully restored stone manor, offering the perfect rustic charm for sharing stories and excitement for the week of riding ahead.
