Transpirinaica

We had a great time planning the new Bikecat Trans-Pyrenees Cycling Tour. I especially enjoyed seeing new parts of Spain with magnificent late Spring, snow-covered Pyrenees almost always within view. Starting in La Seu d´Urgell in the Catalan Pyrenees, you really appreciate how the culture, food, and even language changes across the country to Basque Country. From Catalan, to Spanish and then the impossible to understand Basque language (Euskera), which has linguists still puzzled over the origins. Landing in San Sebastian on the seaside will be the perfect way to end a week with plenty of challenging riding. I could still be out there wandering those peaceful roads...Debbie

Spring 2012

Bikecat rides
After coming back from Malaysia, we have had a few rainy weeks and it is finally starting to clear up. Now it is time to enjoy Spring! Back to cycling in Girona and Bikecat with custom cycling Tours and Guided rides.
Here are some photos from a Sunday outing with a group of friends to St. Hilari. Most of the group did the climb up Mare de Deu del Coll and others went straight on to the cafĂ© in St. Hilari.
