The BH Catalunya Bike Race by Oakley 2023 provisional routers are already defined

A three-stage race with a total of 147.55 km and 4,700 m+ and with Alp as a great novelty.

With less than two months remaining before the start of the sixth edition, the three stages of the next BH Catalunya Bike Race by Oakley have already been defined. Three days of mountain biking through La Cerdanya, where the incredible landscapes, endless trails and tough climbs will make a magical combination.

The first of these three stages, scheduled for Friday, will start and finish in Puigcerdà. A short but intense stage to turn the engines on. This BH FLASH STAGE will have almost 35 kilometers and little more than 1,000 meters of elevation gain, but with a height of almost 1,700 meters. The opening day will start from Puigcerdà in the direction of France. Once in the neighbouring country, which we will have reached via Ur, we will cross the town in the direction of Llívia. La Font del Ferro will be the next stop, back in Spain, to reach the Serrat de Baladret and enjoy the first of the many downhill trails that we have prepared for you. Once in Cereja, we will return to France along a stretch of track. In Angoustrine you will reach the halfway point of the stage, where the feed zone and the starting point to the Hermitage of Santa Maria de Bell-lloc are located. Enjoy the views, those of you who can, because the climb is 5 kilometers at an average of 8%.

Once at the hermitage, another path descends to Brongolí. After a brief and quick pass through Fanès i Bena, we will take a four-kilometer trail that will take us to Enveitg, to finish the day in Puigcerdà.

 

The second of the three stages, the queen stage called the SKODA SUPER STAGE, will once again start and finish in Puigcerdà, but with a very different route. The first kilometers will be in the Sant Martí d'Aravó way to go up to Guils through a 7 kilometers track at 7% with incredible views of the region. Through a marvelous path you will reach Niula and join another path called Colforn. Montmalús will be the next stop where, after about 5 kilometers of ascent, you will find the path of the Costa de la Llampa from the Roc del Quier to Meranges.

Time for the feed zone and continue to Éller, Ordén and enjoy one of the best trails of the weekend right at the Prat de les Codines stream. Watch out for the tunnel effect, you will fall in love with it. Descend, after passing the hermitage of Sanmamet d'Anes, to reach Bellver de Cerdanya and enjoy the second feed zone. Take track 132 towards Cortàs to reach Olopte and All. The return to Puigcerdà will be through the area of la palanca i Puig de Sant Martí to enter from Enveitg.

 

 

And last but not least you will have to move to Alp for the OAKLEY FINISHER STAGE with a menu of 42 kilometers and 1,353 meters of accumulated height gain. Along a forest track you will go in the direction of the aerodrome to Prats, to discover a beautiful path and head towards Das. Cross it to climb to the top of Alp and head towards La Molina via Roca Castellana. A climb of about 4 kilometers at 8% to go down and meet the feed zone. The next stop will be the Collada de Toses by Orris de Baix and continue along the Pla de les Forques where you will take a very fast path to Vilar d'Urx. Now it's the end of the sixth edition in Alp, through the station.
