The best gravel adventure in Spain
#TirrenoApostol was created to promote gravel cycling and bikepacking in Galicia, a unique community with a wealth of landscapes and variety of terrain.
The adventure will bring cyclists from all over the world together to discover how far they can push themselves, both physically and mentally.
RULES
CIRCULATION
The Tirreno Apóstol event takes place on open roads, so you must know and follow traffic regulations at all times, always following the route track that we will provide.
A helmet and front and rear lights are mandatory, and the use of headphones is prohibited. At night, riding with a reflective vest and/or reflective clothing is required. The event can be completed on a gravel bike or a mountain bike.
SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Just you and the Tirreno Apóstol adventure.
There are two categories: individual or pairs. Riding in groups or alongside other riders IS allowed—Tirreno Apóstol is an event where companionship and discovering Galicia are part of the charm we want to share.
External assistance from another vehicle is prohibited.
Food, water, and gear must be carried by each participant without external help. If you are competing in pairs, you may share resources with your partner. Even though the event takes place in the middle of summer, the organization recommends that you always carry: a bivy bag, warm clothing, etc.
OFFICIAL ROUTE
You must ride and complete the official track that we will provide on June 26. If you need to deviate for any reason, you must return to the official route as soon as possible. Should you need to leave the route due to an emergency, or to look for accommodation or supplies, you must return to the exact point where you left it.
The organization will provide a series of official mechanical assistance and refreshment points, where a professional team will be available to support you with anything you need. Surprises will also be part of Tirreno Apóstol, so remember that in the toughest moments, we’ll be there to bring you a smile.
You will be given a satellite tracking device, which is NOT a navigation device, and it must remain active at all times. It cannot be turned off or tampered with. Keeping it off for long periods may result in penalties.
