Sat Intermediate | Ordal loop | 125km 2300m

Get ready for 125km and 2300m of climbing as we head west for a wonderful loop ride.

We roll out from Plaça de Lesseps and warm up the legs on Arrabassada: steady pace, no heroics, there's a lot of road ahead. Some group work down the Besòs before the first real test of the day: the climb up to Corbera and all the way to La Creu d'Aragall. Everyone finds their rhythm and we regroup at the summit. There's a café if you need to top up, but we're not sitting down.
Winding roads through Gelida keep the bunch together before we earn a proper coffee stop in Avinyó Nou. Then it's into the Ordal mountains, more climbing, more regrouping at the top, before the descent to the Besòs and Molins for the last big effort of the day.
Oh, and of course at the end you'll find the Parking climb to Tibidabo. Because why not.
Not a drop ride, but come with legs.

As a reference for climbing pace, an Arrabassada time around 16 minutes fits the expected level.
