“We had contacted Bike Cat based on recommendations from friends. From the beginning, Bike Cat knew that they were going to be planning a trip for a very diverse group. We had a group of 14 and some wanted to cycle 100+ kms per day and some wanted to cycle no more than 25kms per day. We had some that were bringing bikes, some renting bikes, some that requested hybrid bikes and one that wanted to ride an electric bike! Bike Cat fulfilled all of these requests without batting an eye. This trip far exceeded our expectations. They picked unbelievably quiet roads with gorgeous scenery.
Their routes offered both a challenge and excitement for every level of rider. Their attention to detail was superior. Their choice of wineries, restaurants, and itineraries was outstanding. Our bike trip to Priorat was among the best cycle trips we have been ever been on. (and there have been quite a few!). One of the most memorable things that we will take from this trip were the wonderful relationships that strengthened between all of our participants and a new friendship with the Bike Cat team. We will be back!
Os Remences foram habitantes da Catalunha,que marcaram seu nome na história,por rebelarem-se contra seu senhor feudal,que impunha-lhes pesados tributos.
É má ideia exportar alguns descendentes para o Brasil?
Seu poder de resistencia,é orgulhosamente lembrado na rica cultura catalâ. Uma das formas desta homenagem é a realizacao anual da “Marxa Cicloturistica Terra de Remences”.
E resistencia nao pode faltar no ciclista que se candidata a percorrer estas estradas. Na “Marxa”,sao percorridos 175km com 2650m de ascensao.É ssa desavisada turma enfrentou 600km e 8000m de ascensao na semana.E degustou pratos e vinhos típicos também,e nao ouvi nenhuma reclamacao acerca destas nossas duas atividades prinicipais nestes dias.
A granfondo largou pontualmente,com um friozinho da primavera,â espera do sol.Entre os 3000 espanhóis,5 brasileiros apreensivos. Descrever a prova, seria uma sequencia de adjetivos repetidos quando se surpreende.
Assim como surpreendente, foi o trabalho da Bikecat. Sob o planejamento do Jaume e assessoria da Debbie e Jordi, a cada dia, tivemos surpresas incríveis, como apoio por motocicleta na prova, percursos inimagináveis, alta gastronomia. Irretocável e altamente recomendável para aqueles que despretensiosamente lerem esse comentário.É um ótimo programa,que reúne bicicleta com diversao e cultura,por um custo justo.
No próximo ano tenho certeza que mais amigos se juntarao a esse grupo ao qual agradeço muito pela convivência.

This is just a short note to let you know what a terrific time I had on my last visit in December, 2010. Although I have been on three trips with you before, this one day trip could not have been any better. The new Felt team bikes were amazing; there is really no need for anyone to ship their bikes to Girona anymore! The amount that the airlines charge is equal or more than it would be to rent through Bikecat. As for the ride quality, they were flawless.
Every trip has been different and each one is as enjoyable as the last. This past trip started out cool and warmed up nicely; it was simply the perfect day for a late season ride.
I am truly grateful for the way you and your staff handle your tours in such a professional manner. Each ride is well planned and supported. Managing a ride in big groups is a job in itself, and keeping all the riders of different abilities together is not an easy task. You are indeed a professional. Plus, as a local, it is great to have a guide who knows the area inside and out and to give an outsider a glimpse into the best spots where the locals go! Even further, you made our group feel like we live in Girona. Thanks so much, I can’t wait for my next trip to Girona.
