The first of eight non-competitive cycling events planned across Catalonia is set to take place on 21 November, featuring a 17.92 km route along the GIP-5237 road. This stretch will be closed to cars and motorcycles from 8 am to 12 pm to facilitate the passage of cyclists.
The starting point will be at the intersection of Creu de la Santa Missió in Cabanelles, where it connects with the N-260 road towards the municipality of Lladó. A maximum of 700 participants are expected to ensure a smooth ascent to the Mare de Déu del Mont.
Registration is free for federated cyclists, while non-federated participants will be charged a fee of 10 euros. All participants will receive a commemorative bike plate and will have access to parking and shower facilities at the Zona Deportiva de Lladó, along with medical assistance.
The 'Fem Ports. Discover Catalonia by cycling' initiative will run from 2026 to 2027, aiming to promote cycling and provide opportunities for community enjoyment of the sport in safe, vehicle-free environments. This initiative is supported by the Catalan Traffic Service, local municipalities, and cycling organisations.
'Fem Ports' is part of the legacy activities related to the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, which took place in Catalonia last summer. The aim is to ensure that the impact of the Tour extends beyond the three competitive stages, fostering a social and sporting legacy in areas such as sustainability, tourism, and social cohesion through the celebration of this major global cycling event.
Further details regarding the full calendar of 'Fem Ports. Discover Catalonia by cycling' events, which will take place throughout Catalonia, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
