Pyrenean Bike Parks from Barcelona

Hi fellow foreros!

This summer I'm planning on making several trips from Barcelona up the bike parks of the Pyrenees/Pre-pyrenees (La Molina/Andorra/Les Angles) etc. I'm a British guy living just outside Barcelona, and it would be great to meet up with other local/expat bikers interested in doing the same, share petrol/tolls etc. I have a small van that can carry 4 people and bikes.

Look forward to meeting you!

 

Hi Alun,

Nice to meet you here, would be interested in hearing more of your plans and schedule. I could be into that! I would be coming from the otherside of Spain, North West so not much help with the sharing but I was thinking about riding there sometime.

I would like to ride in the Basque areas especially with the guy's from http://www.basquemtb.com they know some amazing trails along the Basque coast I would love to ride with them sometime and will. Check them out, some great riding!

 

Hi Kanza - that would be a long trip from Galicia to Catalunya! I'm sure I'll post again here before I make my first trip, though.

The Basque country is a bit far for me (it's a 6 hour drive, and it's only 8 hours to for me to get to the Alps from Barcelona!) - but thanks for the link, it looks great!

 

Hi Alun,

It is yes quite a way, but my Mum lives in Central France, so we travel that way a few times a year so do drop a note when your planning a trip!

 

Hello Alun, I'm Josep from Barcelona and my english is bad. I'm interested in trails across Pirineus for this summer (23 july to 20 august) but i don't konw what is your level. My standart track is over 60-70 km and 1600-2000+ but not fast speed, perhaps you are so young (my age: 55).
My main target is "La Transpirenaica" (Mediterranean to Atlantic) 968 km and 22.700+ in 16 days (I have all these tracks on gps) and also I like some Transalp like Chamonix to Zermatt, this is my dream. I have my mind open to other proposals. I'm catalan and I know my country for many possible trails. At present I'm beginning also on road bike but I prefer the mountain bike. if you have any idea, write-me.
Salut i força.
Josep
P.D. I have holidays for next week (1 to 7 july) and I do some trails.

 

Oh! I see your video, you are a crazy freerider, ha ha ha... so nice.
I'm only a router

 

Hi Josep. My ass you´re just a beginner. At 55 and thinking of routes such as Transpirenaica, the Camino de Santiago or Chamonix-Zermatt makes you a real biker !. How long have you been into cycling?.

 

Hi Josep - the Transpirenaica looks amazing! I tend to leave the long distance rides to my road-bike though, and only use my mountain bike for the bike-parks!

 

OK Alun, enjoy the path flow!
