I had an outstanding week training with Girona Cycling during my stay in Banyoles. From the first day, Gareth and Fiona made me feel genuinely welcome. What impressed me most was that they took the time to understand my goals rather than trying to impress me with epic rides or difficult routes. My focus was on consistency, endurance, technique and enjoying the process, and they completely embraced that approach. Gareth’s swim coaching was exceptional. His clear, practical feedback helped me improve my technique and noticeably increased my form over just a few sessions. He has an excellent eye for the small details that make a big difference. The cycling routes were perfectly suited to my objectives, and I appreciated that there was never any pressure to push beyond what was appropriate. As an age-group Ironman athlete training for longevity, that meant a lot to me. There is an endless amount of routes to choose from, and Gareth knows them all while making sure we are as safe as possible on the bike. And I loved that Gareth joined me on the bike early every morning while I did my short runs and gave me very helpful tips. Beyond the coaching, Gareth and Fiona are simply wonderful people. Their passion for helping athletes of all levels is obvious, and their hospitality made the week even more enjoyable. They also recommended some fantastic local restaurants that made my stay in Girona and Banyoles even more memorable. I left fitter, technically stronger, and with even more motivation than when I arrived. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you both for a fantastic week!

Put simply, I had the most fantastic week in the care of Girona cycling. The hotel was everything I expected, feeling homely and comfortable yet really spacious. I had a guide for the whole week, as opposed to self guided routes ,so six days of riding with Gareth. He was wonderful company, and had a truly comprehensive knowledge of the whole area , local history and culture along with cycling routes developed over twenty years of experience. My aim was to ride 300 miles in a week which he helped me achieve in style I think. Some of the longer rides (77 miles) involve a lot of altitude and so the key when you book is to be realistic about what you want to achieve and be honest about your ability to achieve it. The roads around Girona are pretty much traffic free on the whole which makes this area superb cycling territory. There is no doubt that I shall be going back with a larger group next time. I felt cared for as a guest by Fiona and Gareth and their staff the whole time. They were accommodating and kind , even when things got busy. I would absolutely recommend Girona Cycling if you long for a challenge, some down time or just the quiet roads in a beautiful geographic area of Spain.

We had a fantastic holiday at Girona Cycling Last week. The cycling routes were adapted to suit our ability and requirements with plenty of useful advice on how we can improve that we can take away and work on. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and their staff during our stay. The food was all freshly cooked which we really appreciated. The rooms were comfortable and have everything you need. We are looking forward to a return visit and would 100% recommend.

I joined the road cycling training camp as a solo rider for a week and had an unforgettable vacation with a group of wonderful cyclists and the best hosts and coaches one could wish for. From the moment of booking, through train station pick-up and drop-off, check-in, bike rental and adjustment, to the cycling tours, coffee breaks, dinners, and countless small moments in between – Fiona and Gareth handled everything themselves. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail shone through in every aspect, and I truly felt the care and passion they put into making the experience special. We enjoyed back-to-back cycling tours each day on carefully planned routes led by Gareth. I learned a great deal from him about cycling techniques, mindset, and gained plenty of encouragement along the way. Fiona complemented the rides perfectly by leading morning yoga sessions and post-ride stretches, which added an extra layer of enrichment to the camp experience. I also thoroughly enjoyed the healthy and hearty dinners each evening, as well as the delightful sandwich + coffee breaks. :) I truly can’t wait to come back!
