The Pyrenees will steal your heart

Meet participants from other editions

In 2021, I participated in the Transpyr Coast to Coast, an epic cycling tour through the heart of the Pyrenees. The experience changed something in me. And I want to do it again.

The Transpyr is one of the toughest and most demanding adventures, but its landscapes, towns, cuisine, and adventure companions make up for it, making it the best experience of your life. A truly challenging journey to cross the Pyrenees and make lifelong friends.

The Transpyr is much more than an adventure; it’s a personal and mental challenge that helps you discover your limits while surrounded by friends and the best possible environment. Don’t let anyone tell you about it, experience it!

The Transpyr Coast to Coast is one of the best stage challenges. Pedaling through the most iconic mountain passes and ending at the sea is one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had.

It is reserved for people with a high level of physical and mental fitness, and participants must be able to maintain an average speed of no less than 12 km/h on each stage, including all stops.

    • Route route
    • Route booklet with maps and stage profiles
    • Participation gift
    • Refreshments during the stage and at each finish
    • Pasta party-style meals and briefings before each stage
    • Medical assistance and rescue during the stage
  • Mandatory insurance
  • Automatic bike wash at the end of each stage

  • Transportation of the Transpyr bag from one accommodation to another, limited to the city center of the stage city. Transport of personal luggage until the last stage (see conditions)

Booking accommodation is the participant’s responsibility, but we make it easy for you.

You can book it yourself at each stage, travel by motorhome, or book the HOTEL PACK offered by VALUA TRAVEL with various options.

Accommodation is not included in the registration fee.

The organizers will give you a bag during check-in so you can store all your belongings.

This Transpyr Bag will be delivered to your accommodation each day (as long as it’s within the urban center of the stage point).

If you’d like, we can send the bag to your home before check-in so you can plan your trip!

The bag cannot weigh more than 20 kg.

Breakfast is the participant’s responsibility, although it is included in hotel packages.

Throughout the route, the organizers provide solid and liquid refreshment stations. One of the refreshment stations serves as a lunch of rice or pasta. There is another light refreshment station at the end of the route.

Registration also includes a carbohydrate-based meal at dusk before each stage.

It is recommended to bring some kind of energy supplement and start the stage with at least one liter of beverage.

If you want to return home from Irun:

Once you’ve completed the Transpyr Coast to Coast, a shuttle bus will take you back (departing the morning after your arrival in Irun).

If you’re transporting your bike in a box, we can store it securely. You can leave your vehicle in an (unguarded) parking lot in Roses.

No. Mandatory Sports Insurance is included in the participant package. However, each participant is free to purchase and use additional insurance if they wish.

A medical assistance service is available throughout the route. Its mission is to assist those who have suffered an accident or injury during each stage. Once the stage is completed, any participant who requires medical attention must be treated by the municipality’s public or private medical services.

No, accreditation and the briefing take place at dusk the day before departure.

Participation is reserved for those over 18 years of age.

A cycling license is not required.

Mandatory insurance is already included in the participant package. If necessary, you can purchase additional insurance on your own to expand your coverage.

Once you have transferred your belongings to the Transpyr Bag that we will give you upon accreditation, you can:

  • Leave your bag with your family, if they accompanied you,
  • Leave it in your car, if you came by car,
  • Leave it with us, and we will transport it until the end of the event. In the latter case, the bag will be kept at the start or finish point until the last day of the event, when we will transport it to Roses so you can have it on your arrival day. If for any reason you have to leave the event mid-ride, you will have to pick up your bag yourself.

Transferring your bike bag to the Transpyr Coast to Coast destination is an optional service.

You can also arrange for the Transpyr Bag to be delivered to your home before the challenge.

A Transpyr Backroads finisher will be considered a participant who completes the route planned by the organizers within the maximum time allowed. The GPS track can be used as proof in case of any doubts.

Following a route using GPS is quite simple. However, you must be sure that the device you choose is suitable for cycling (it can be mounted on the handlebars and displayed clearly), has enough memory to record a route of more than 150 km with recordings every 50 meters, and has a battery life of more than 12 hours (and carry spare batteries).

At Transpyr Backroads, avoiding any mechanical setbacks is paramount. Participants can pre-book a mechanic for a tune-up at the end of each stage.

During the stages, we are unable to assist participants, and the organizers will not make any assistance available.

The organizers guarantee the availability of bicycle cleaning stations at the end of each stage, either with hoses or high-pressure machines, as well as a small self-service workshop.

Of course!

Your friends and family will be able to attend the different events: departure and arrival, briefing, pasta party… For this purpose, we have created the Companion Pack.

This is a pack designed so they can come and cheer you on and share the TRANSPYR BACKROADS adventure, enjoying themselves to the fullest. This package includes accreditation as a companion, a tourist dossier so they can discover the wonders of the Pyrenees, tickets to the Pasta Party, parking in a reserved area (at some stage points), and other accessories.

If your companions are only coming for one day, you have the option of purchasing a ticket to the Pasta Party.

The Companion Pack can be purchased through your private area or at the organization’s office (RACE OFFICE).

TRANSPYR BACKROADS takes place in June, aiming for maximum daylight and good weather. However, the difference in weather between the Cantabrian and Mediterranean sides and the altitude reached at certain points along the route (maximum around 2,000 m) must be taken into account, with the possibility of rapid weather changes in mountainous environments.
