We’re starting the new year with a riveting Bike Waffle with Richy Poynter who completed one of the most challenging events out there, L’Esperit de Girona.
The L’Esperit de Girona is a gruelling, multi-day ultra-endurance bikepacking event that, to date, only 8 people have ever finished.
Spanning 730 kilometres with over 23,000 metres of elevation gain, it pushes riders to navigate remote off-road paths, hike-a-bike sections, steep climbs, and high altitudes while carrying their gear and resupplying along the way. With no official support and a high drop-out rate, this event tests physical stamina, mental resilience, and the ability to endure long distances. Simply finishing is a victory.
So what convinced Richy to quietly sign up for this event?
Why did he only tell a few close friends?
And, how much did he have to draw on his experience of being a Marine to drag himself to the finish?
Get a taster of the evening in this article Richy wrote about the event for Bikepacking.com.
Feel free to arrive from 6.30pm to grab a cosy sofa and get settled with a drink before we start at 7pm!
(Tickets always sell out for this event so book yours quick!)
