Les Serres and Mas Llunès from Girona
The ride
West of Girona the ground stops being flat without ever turning into mountains. This loop goes out through Cartellà and up the Llémena valley to Llorà, crosses over Les Serres, and comes home over the ramp at Mas Llunès: three separate lumps with long stretches of empty road in between.
Nothing here is long enough to call a col, and that is the point: fifty-five kilometres that never quite flatten out and never really hurt. A good Tuesday ride, or a first day in Girona before you go looking for the big climbs.

Nothing on the road itself on this one. The Girona stops below are the ones that work: before you leave, or when you get back.
Before and after, in Girona
This one starts and finishes in the city, so the Girona cafés work either end: a coffee while the group gathers, or brunch when you get back.

Les Serres from the Llémena side, and the short ramp up to Mas Llunès on the way home. Neither counts as a passport climb, but between them they decide how the ride feels.
