OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Make sure you bring the following with you:

We will meet at Cardedeu’s Train Station.

How to get there:

• Option 1: From Barcelona you can take the train to Cardedeu at Sants, Passeig de Gràcia, Clot or Sant Andreu, bikes don’t pay extra fees.
  
• Option 2: Take the highway AP-7 to Girona, leave the highway at Cardedeu’s exit, at the roundabout take the 4th exit, keep straight at the next roundabout until the road finishes, take a right and proceed to Cardedeu, as soon as you enter the village you’ll find the train station on the right side of the road.
  
• Option 3: if you don’t want to pay tolls you can also take the C-17 to Granollers, then the C-251 to Cardedeu, as soon as you enter the village you’ll find the train station on the right side of the road.
  

Since some of you are worried about the trail dificulty, here's a detailed map of the trail:

- The water drops mark fountains where you can refill your waterbottle/camelbak
- The blue dots with numbers mark bars/restaurants where you can enjoy some good grilled meat and cold beer
- The green dots mark suggested turn around points for those who are tired

Anyway, remember this is just for fun, this is not a competition, so we can always cut short according to group needs and head straight to the closest bar for a cold one
