Trip Summary

Departing from Dublin on Saturday 18th June, wetravel to our hotel in Canet-Plage. The followingmorning we will begin the first of five days cyclingthrough the picturesque towns and villages,before spending our first night in Roses – atown rich in Greek and Roman history.Following on from here we head inlandtowards the Pyrenees through the BaixaGarrotxa volcanic zone! We exit the BaixaGarrotxa toward the optional climb of SantHilari Sacalm and move down thecoastline toward Calella with its 3 blueflag beaches where we’ll be spendingthe night. Our last day sees us ridingthrough the Parc Natural deMontenegre before reaching thecoast again and riding along thefamous 4km Barcelona Beach.

The Challenge

You will be cycling over 600km (incl. climbs) or540km (ex. climbs) over the five days, while raisingvital funds for The Irish Hospice Foundation.

There will be options along the way so that thosewho are keen and capable cyclists can tackle theColl Formic and take on the Sant Hilari Sacalm,before we arrive into our final destination – theCapital of Catalunya, Barcelona.

a bit about Cycling Safaris

We enlist the help of the fantastic team atCycling Safaris to plan our route and manageall aspects of our cycle for the entire durationof the trip.

Cycling Safaris have been organising bike toursin the west coast of Ireland since 1989.Since then they have expanded their cyclingholidays to cover the length and breadth ofIreland as well as numerous locations allover Europe. The Irish Hospice Foundationhas been working with Cycling Safarisfrom the beginning of our annual cyclingchallenges back in 2009. This cyclewill be our 11th adventure with themand we are delighted to have them onthe team again!

ITINERARY

3

We set off from dublinairport for our morningflight to Girona. On arrival,we will be collected andtransferred by coach toour hotel in Canet-en-Roussillon. You will bereunited with your bike at the hotel as all bikes will havebeen shipped from Dublin by Cycling Safaris. You’ll takein the long sandy beaches here which have a lovelyatmosphere provided by the backdrop of the Pyrenees.There are also plenty of shops, bars and restaurantskeeping this town buzzing.

The first day of cyclingbegins with a nice gentlewarm up along the coastline for 15km to thebeautiful town of Collioure.From here we head inlandand climb for almost10km on a small quiet road that affords wonderful viewsof the surrounding countryside and the ocean. We thenrejoin the coast road and cross the border into Spain.This is a stunning ride with many great vantage pointsas the road twists and turns and rises and fallsfollowing the coastline. The Cap de Creus peninsulaprovides some further undulating territory with someunspoilt scenery together with Cadaques, longassociated with painter Salvador Dali. Roses is ourdestination for tonight which has a rich Greek andRoman history, but today it’s a modern town attractingvisitors for its beaches and restaurants.

The second morning sees us leaving the coast as wehead inland towards the Pyrenees. As we pass the townof Figueres the road offers a great surface and very littletraffic as it gently climbs passing medieval towns andvillages. The wonderful medieval town of Besalu with its12th Century Romanesque bridge and arcaded streets isa perfect stopping point for lunch. The route then leadsus into the Baixa Garrotxa Volcanic Zone! There around30 “cones” from extinct volcanos reside and are hometo unique flora and fauna. Olot is a town of intimatesquares, elegant shops and welcoming bars in the heartof the volcanic zone.

The coast road from Sant Feliuagain offers wonderful riding as itexhibits great views at every cornerand is a particularly unspoilt sectionof coastline. We then head inlandinto the Parc Natural de Montnegre(Black Mountain) to escape someof the busier coastal resorts. Another optional climb here is theSant Hilari Sacalm, which is almost 21km long but a veryreasonable average of 3.2%. Soon we come back down to thecoast and our destination Calella with its 3 blue flag beachesawaits.

Our last day sees us venture inlandagain to the Parc Natural deMontnegre to avoid the busy coastalroad. Here we offer another optionalclimb with the Coll Formic that goesinto the heart of the MontsenyNational Park, a UNESCO biospherereserve (22km long, 920m Gain,4% average). Our entry into Barcelona follows a great riversidebike path for several kms before heading along the coast andpassing the famous 4km beach to reach our finish! We no doubtwill dip our toes in the cooling Mediterranean sea as wecelebrate how we conquered the Wild Mediterranean Way!

After a wonderful celebratoryevening the night before you willhave time to explore the city ofBarcelona before we make ourshort transfer to Barcelona El PrattAirport for our return flight toDublin. *Flight details to follow.

After an initial short climb out ofthe town, we enjoy the most tranquilday of our trip with a long descentacross the Baixa Garrotxa. SantaPau, an atmospheric medievalvillage in the heart of this regionwill make for a worthwhile shortbreak. We then skirt the edge of Lake Banyoles, the largestnatural lake in Catalan with a magnificent backdrop of themountains. The Gavarres massif offers a lovely quiet road andsome extra climbing opportunities for those who want them (suchas the Sant Marti de Romanya or Coll de la Ganga). Soon thecoast comes back into view and our destination Sant Feliu deGuixols can be spotted. It has a beautiful sandy beach backed bya glorious tree lined avenue leading from the rocky headland tothe south. The traffic free Rambla Vidal is a great place to shop,eat and people watch.

Reaching every county in Ireland, we arebringing hospice care and principles to adults,children and families where and when they areneeded. We receive NO core state funding andrely upon voluntary funds – like those raisedthrough this cycle challenge – to maintain ourwork.

Once again, the money raised through thecycle challenge will help our Nurses For NightCare service – which provides free night-timenursing care in the home for those at end oflife. The nurse stays in the home through thenight providing nursing care, practical supportand reassurance to the person with a lifelimiting condition and valuable respite forfamily members.

2016 marks the 10th anniversary of Nursesfor Night Care and over the last decade theservice has experienced huge growth. When itbegan in 2006 we provided around 100 nightsof nursing care. In 2015 this increased to over1,500 nights of care and we expect this figureto rise again in 2016.

A survey carried out by the IHF in 2014revealed that 74% of people want to die athome, but only 26% get to do so. With your

help we are trying to support more people tospend their final days at home in their ownbed, with their family by their side.

Cyclists who have raised funds over the yearshave played a major role in making this areality. We hope that you will continue to be afundamental part of the funding for this vitalservice by signing up to participate in our WildMediterranean Way Cycle Challenge. Each dayspent in the saddle will mean at least onenight of comfort and nursing care for thosenearing the end of life. The minimum amountraised by each cyclist (after costs) equates to6 nights of care. One week really does a makea difference to those at a very vulnerable timeof life, end of life.

For more information on the work of The Irish Hospice Foundation call us on 01 6793188.

When it began in 2006 we providedaround 100 nights of nursing care. in 2015 this increased to over 1,500nights of care and we expect thisfigure to rise again in 2016.
