ICON Toulouse to Girona 2022

08 September 2022

Beginning in Toulouse on the edge of the River Garonne, we'll ride east through southern France for the medieval hilltop town of Carcassonne with an overnight in the historic town. It's then a ride south through the Catalan Pyrenees, stopping in Perpignan for an overnight stop. The final day heads down off the mountains into Girona with a celebration and a chance to see the stunning old town.

Following last year, there will be an optional 'extended' ride each day, meaning you can find your perfect level of challenge. The 'standard' ride will be approx 115kms and 1000metres of climbing, whereas the 'extended' ride will add another 25km~. Whichever option you choose each day, you'll be in for a superb challenge!
