Day 1: VILAFRANCA DEL PENEDÈS – VILAFRANCA DEL PENEDÈS
Today’s ride, through the counties of Alt and Baix Penedès, will take us to the village of La Bisbal. From there we will rise 9 km to the summmit of Alt del Montmell. Then we will continue towards Sant Martí Sarroca passing through l’Alt de Les Ventoses. The itinerary will be made largely for back roads, which will allow us to enjoy a silent landscape, surrounded by vineyards and farmhouses. Along the way, we can stop at some cellars, Terra de Marca, Oriol Rossell, Parés Baltà, Colet and Torres will be available to us for a visit. We finish the ride moving to our accomodation.

The present tour will allow us to enjoy different monuments from the 10th century to Modernism. This second itinerary, looped from Vilafranca, will first take us to the Romanesque Monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs, one of the most beautiful corners of the region. And then we will bike some ascending km to Sant Pau d’Ordal and the Alt dels Cassots. An easy and fast downhill will lead us to the Capital of Cava, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, where a stop is required to visit one of its cellars.

TARMAC SL4
The Tarmac doesn’t do one thing well, it does everything exceptionally—which is why it’s been ridden to victory in all three Grand Tours. The Tarmac’s advanced materials add a modern edge to the lively character of a classic race bike, while its Rider-First Engineered™ design ensures that the Tarmac sprints, corners, and descends with uniform excellence across every size.
ROUBAIX SL4
Named for one of the sport’s most storied and demanding races, the Roubaix is built to excel on the worst roads and in nasty conditions. Smoother is faster, so the Roubaix’s carbon construction is designed to maximize vertical compliance, while Zertz inserts and a CG-R seatpost work to absorb road chatter. And to make the Roubaix feel stable and comfortable on the longest of rides, the frame is built with our Endurance Geometry.
AMIRA
Sure, you train hard and eat right, but there’s just one thing missing—an edge. The Amira gives you two. First, there’s the performance edge you get from its FACT carbon frame and tapered head tube. The combination results in responsive handling and true get-up-and-go accelerations. Then comes the psychological edge. The feeling that, when teamed up with a lightweight, high-performance machine, there’s no limit to what you can achieve together.
