Sat Intermediate | Begues + La Creu de l'Aragall + Molins | 115km 1900m
Details
This Saturday we’re heading weat for a fast, punchy ride: three solid climbs up to Begues, Corbera and Tibidabo.
We’ll meet under the Venetian Towers in Plaça Espanya at 9:00 AM, then roll out toward El Prat for a steady warm-up. Expect a solid push on the flats with smooth rotations, drafting, and clean group work. From Gavà we take on Collada Jaume Petit up to Begues, a consistent climb that sets the pace for the day.
From Begues, the route continues on rolling terrain toward Gelida. After the descent, we attack La Creu de l'Aragall and at the end of the climb we stop for a quick coffee. A very needed one, as the final climb of Molins (and a final Parking for the ones who still have legs) is waiting ahead.
Depending on group size and pace, we may split into a faster and a steadier group. We will regroup at the top of each climb.
On the flats, expect 40–45 km/h with proper drafting. As a reference for climbing pace, an Arrabassada time around 16 minutes fits the expected level.
