The schedule is as follows:
Day 1: Arrival to Poblet
Each bike rider must get to Poblet by their own means, this way, the last day each person can leave as they want. Spinatura will be in charge of bike transportation to Poblet and from el Bacino. The first day's accommodaton is at Hotel Hostatgeria de Poblet (Poblet Monastery).
The whole group will meet at the Hotel for dinner and a general briefing of the route, since every day after dinner will be a specific briefing of each stage.

While riding through calm roads you'll notice the positive slope as it goes up (+ 7382 ft). We'll go through villages like Vallclara, Vilanova de Prades, Cornudella, among others. Before heading up to Siurana, we'll do a recovery stop to recharge batteries and take on the Santa Maria Hermitage climb.
Along the way you'll be able to appreciate extensive and wide open vineyards.
Ascending to Prades your physical and psychological strength will be tested, only to enjoy even more the thrilling upcoming descent. This day we'll travel 67 mi.
Day 3: Poblet - Poblet
This stage starts at the Poblet Monastery, taking a national road (not much) to finally take the road to Rojals, beautiful village with postcard views of the Sierra de Prades. Continuing head to La Riba and from there ride an awesome road, never letting go of the Sierra views. Finally we head back this road to conclude this spectacular tour.
