Additional information

Informació addicional

Gravel Penedès Vilafranca is a march, whose routes have been designed for gravel bikes to be the most efficient, but any type of bicycle that can safely travel on unpaved roads (gravel, MTB, e-Bike, tandem, etc.) can participate. In the "Bikepacking" route, e-Bikes are not allowed.

It is not a competitive race, but it is a challenge. There will be no race numbers, classifications, or trophies, but there will be prizes: if you complete your route, you will receive a commemorative "finisher prize" from Gravel Penedès Vilafranca.

For the monitoring and safety of the participants, there will be control of arrival times.

The roads, highways, and streets will be open to traffic, and there will be no restrictions or control of other vehicles. It is necessary to respect the traffic laws and other users of the network of roads and highways.

The routes will not be marked, and it will be necessary to have your own satellite navigation device to follow the established itinerary (GPS, mobile phone with navigation app, etc.).

Each route will have a maximum time to complete it. However, do not worry too much about the clock and enjoy the itinerary, raising your gaze to discover the landscape.

Each route will have several departure times, with a limited number of participants, to avoid saturation of the roads and minimize the impact on other users. At the time of registration, you can choose your preferred departure time, which the organization will try to respect.

We hope and demand that the participants share our values of ethics, respect for people, animals, and the environment during their participation in Gravel Penedès Vilafranca.
