After hosting thousands of riders, we’ve seen every packing strategy — from the minimalist with one jersey to the rider who brought four helmets. Here’s the list we send to every guest.

The Essentials

  • 2–3 bib shorts (you’ll ride daily; laundry beats quantity)
  • 3 jerseys including one long-sleeve for descents
  • Gilet and light rain jacket — mountain weather changes fast, even in May
  • Arm and knee warmers if visiting October–April
  • Your own saddle and pedals if you’re particular — we fit them to your rental in minutes
  • Sunscreen and sunglasses — the Catalan sun is not joking

What You Can Skip

  • A bike box — our premium carbon rentals are included in every tour, perfectly fitted to your measurements
  • Tools and spares — our guides carry everything, and Girona’s bike shops are superb
  • Energy products — local cafés do it better; bring only what you love

The Pro Tips

  1. Bring your own shoes. Rental shoes are the one thing that’s never quite right.
  2. Pack a swimsuit. The Costa Brava coves are 40 minutes away and our coastal ride includes a swim stop in summer.
  3. Leave room in your bag. Between the local embutidos, olive oil and a bottle of Empordà wine, you will fly home heavier.
