The Piri is a gravel bikepacking adventure that runs through the Catalan Pyrenees, with a route of 800 km and a cumulative elevation gain of 20,000 m. The route begins and ends at The Service Course, in the city of Girona, one of the epicentres of gravel.
This documentary film, directed by the filmmaker Lizzie Jenkins and in collaboration with Tailfin Cycling, tells the story of the inaugural edition of El Piri, which took place on June 14, 2024 and was attended by 75 cyclists. The film follows the participants as they venture into the Catalan Pyrenees, capturing their physical, emotional and personal journeys. Unsurprisingly, the documentary reflects the founding values of L'Esperit del Bikepacking: fun, integrity, athleticism, community and respect.
With this documentary we can have a clearer view of how this adventure is lived from the inside and decide if we decide to take part in the experience next year. If you want more information, you can find it on their website.
