The track will be placed in the line of exit of the principal career. Those who want to take part will have to enlist in the register points, indicating if you are a team or if you prefer joining other solitary players to form a new one.

All the information in the register points and information points at the event.
3, 2, 1… POLO!!!!

Finally the ride is set on 5 days and 756 Km. Starts on sunday 26th of June at 07:00 am and everybody is welcome to join the ride on the first day!! If you want to check the whole route send an email to: mybeautifulparking@hotmail.com

You can register yourself  for the ride sending the form we attach to fabulosotopmanta@gmail.com or filling it physically at mybeautifulparking in carrer cervantes nº 5 (barcelona).

You can download the form here.

After working so hard with all the institutions, citycouncil, and all that paperwork stuff… ¡we have the place for the main race!

We were considering different spots in the city and yes, finally we can give you something nice: some stairs, sand, bridges, pedestrians, … ready for you to ride on. Even so much sun you will be sweating like a cheese abandoned in a beach.

We have been working on the racecourse and we can now be sure that you will have lots of fun at the ECMC in Madcity.

By the way, the place is quite close to a camping and it takes 40 mins by bike, following a unique street (Alcalá ¡the longest!) from the city center. It is located at two metro stops from the airport, quite easy.

Please, have a look at the program, accomodation details, registration…

¡we hope to see you soon riding around!

HEY! Thanks to Matteo Castronuovo from Urban Bike Messengers for the help updating the race map!
