In short
Marta Torà Milà is a Spanish Gravel Cup winner who has ridden the roads and gravel tracks around Girona for ten years, alongside running her own re-adaptation business. She hosts theKlub's Girona Gravel Experience, a small-group trip built around the routes she knows better than almost anyone.
You may know Marta from her gravel racing. What fewer people know is that she runs her own re-adaptation business alongside her training and races. Girona is home, and on her Girona Gravel Experience she shares her favourite routes and the town she rides from.
Why gravel found her
Marta raced mountain bikes from the age of 14. Gravel came later: her trainer spotted an opportunity three or four years ago and pointed her towards it. "Buy a gravel bike," he said. "Join some races. This is going to suit you."
He was right. Marta isn't a pure climber. She's powerful, skilled and comfortable in a bunch, and gravel, with its unpredictable demands, rewards exactly those qualities. One race is 90 km with 3,000 m of climbing; the next is 100 km with barely 300 m. Same discipline, a different sport. She loves it, and she loves gravel's world just as much.
"At the front of the race you find the pro cyclists, at the back you find mothers with their children, fathers and sons, couples, friends all racing for the joy of it. And then they all go for a beer together afterwards".
Ten years of Girona
Marta has been riding in and around Girona for a decade. She drives up on free days just to ride, around a full-time job running her own re-adaptation business and her training and race schedule. She knows the quiet roads that never show up on anyone's Strava segments, the fast gravel stretches where you can open up, and the cafés where you lean your bike in the corner and nobody looks twice, because everyone in the room has done the same.
"You breathe cycling in Girona," she says. It isn't a figure of speech.
When I ask what she most wants to share with people on the trip, whether they've been to Girona before or not, she doesn't talk about training data or route profiles.
"The landscapes. The views. The vibe. It's something you have to live. I've wanted to share what I feel in Girona for a long time."

Why Marta is hosting the Girona Experience
When I ask Marta what success looks like at the end of the trip, her answer has nothing to do with watts or segments. "I want people to know me. Not just as a cyclist: as a person, as a woman. And I want to stay in touch. I want them to message me months later and say, I'm coming back to Girona with my family, can you send me a route? That's what I want."
That warmth is what a theKlub trip is for: people who ride, hosted by a local who wants to show them their world. The Marta you'll meet in Girona is the one who lines up at races, with the same knowledge and the same love for these gravel roads, but without the pressure. The days are about the best gravel routes, the best places to eat and the people riding with you.
Marta hosts theKlub's Girona Gravel Experience, a small-group trip on the roads and gravel tracks she knows better than almost anyone, for gravel riders who want the riding and the rest of Girona too.
