A typical MTB bike or gravel bike tour starts at the bike rental shop where you will get your bike adjusted (shocks, tire pressure, saddle, etc.), sign the rental agreement, grab a helmet, and fill up your water bottles.
From the shop, we will start our ride through the city, working our way up the 250-300 meters of elevation to reach the trail head in the Collserola park. Within 35-45 minutes, the city and its infrastructure will begin to give way to the hills and forested areas of the Collserola park.
Once we reach the trailhead, our mountain bike adventure begins in earnest. At this point, we will know your skill level and riding preferences and will plan the perfect route. Take it easy or hit some local trails, it is up to you.
Regardless of your skill level, you can expect a bit more climbing, some great riding and fantastic views.
When we are ready to head back to the city, its all downhill from here, we will cruise back to the bike rental shop to end our riding adventure.
