Starting at the Mediterranean Sea — cradle of many civilizations — the opening stage of TRANSPYR BACKROADS 2025 begins gently, with a relatively modest elevation gain. However, the route trends consistently upward, climbing from sea level to nearly 1,000 meters by the end of the day in the heart of the Pyrenees.

Designed to ease riders into the adventure, this first stage avoids excessive complexity. It serves as a warm-up for what lies ahead — because from the very next day, the stages will begin to challenge both physical and mental endurance as riders dive deeper into the mountain range.

The stage is a scenic transition from the flat and gently rolling landscapes of Alt Empordà and La Garrotxa into the first true foothills of the Pyrenees. Leaving the coast and the Mediterranean culture behind, the route follows mostly rolling terrain. Although there is a constant upward trend, the real climbing doesn’t begin until around kilometer 70, where the road steadily rises to over 1,100 meters before descending slightly into Camprodon — a charming and emblematic village in the Girona Pyrenees.

Wherever possible, the route favors quiet, lesser-traveled roads. The main challenge of the day is the continuous climb from sea level, which gives the feeling of being always uphill, combined with the likely heat and humidity typical of this region.

Riders are strongly advised not to push too hard in the early, flatter sections, as the temptation to ride fast can lead to unnecessary energy expenditure — energy that will be crucial for the demanding final third of the stage, where most of the elevation gain is concentrated.

Finally, caution is essential throughout the day, as this is a holiday route, often shared with cars, motorcycles, and other cyclists. The roads alternate between wide and fast, and very narrow and slow, but all can be busy on this day.
