Itinerary description
The 78km circular route in the heart of Les Gavarres presents no technical difficulty and runs entirely along forest tracks that are in very good condition with little incline.
Leaving in a north-easterly direction following the course of the Ter river, the first few kilometres will be flat, combining forest tracks in good condition with B-roads with very little traffic.
At the village of Parlavà the route will turn off in the direction of Les Gavarres.
Riders will take the C-66 level with the village of Corçà, before crossing the village of Monells, where the race’s first feed zone will be located.
From there the route will join the road that leads to Santa Pallaia hermitage before turning off to the right, at KM 13, onto a forest track in very good condition.
At the end of the climb, in the heart of Les Gavarres near Els Àngels sanctuary, the race’s second feed zone – this time liquid – will be located.
From this point onwards, riders will continue along the crest passing close to Sant Miquel castle.
Before reaching Sant Miquel the route will turn off down towards Girona.

RUTA FANTASTICA, ALGUNOS PUNTOS DEL TRACK-RUTA “ CONFLICTIVOS”
ASISTENCIAS PUNTOS DE AVITUALLAMIENTO OK.
NOTA ***
PARA QUIENES SOLO PODEMOS IR EL DIA DE LA RUTA NOS QUEDAMOS SIN PASAR POR LA EXPOSICION DE LAS DIFERENTES MARCAS QUE ACUDEN AL EVENTO. PERDIENDO UNA OPORTUNIDAD ESPECIAL DE RENOVAR MATERIAL, ROPA Y/O BICI .
Superbe itinéraire dans une super ambiance ! varié, sportif, il faut quand même garder un peu de jus pour les 15 derniers km !
Una bonita ruta , sin duda totalmente apta para gravel!!! Me ha encantado!!! Repetiré esa zona sin duda!!!

La baixada des dels Àngels en fora pista no m'agrada amb gravel xD Pero poder es perquè sóc novato... Ruta molt entretinguda i la pujada fins el santuari cap al final tot un repte de fondo físic.
