Hotel Mas Pelegri really is a wonderful base for cycling. Gareth provided us with a host of cycling routes to follow of varying lengths and climb profiles. All of those we tried out were wonderful. We hired bikes for the week, and they were of a good standard and well maintained. The garden suites met all of our needs, with a nice outdoor area to have a relaxing late lunch in each day. We took advantage of the evening meals for 4 of the nights, and the food was of a very good standard, they had no problems catering to our vegetarian diets. We also took advantage of the gym area for post ride stretching, and the 25-meter lap pool for afternoon swims. Gareth, his son, and all the hotel employees were extremely helpful, and very keen to ensure we had a great stay.

Great place. We very much enjoyed the cycling community at Mas Pelegri. Great hosts who suggested routes every day with GPX files. Amazing scenery, quiet roads and beautiful roads. Comfortable hotel and the hosts oils not have been more helpful.

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.
