Terra de Remences 2027: date and essential information
At our check on 22 September 2026, we could not verify an official 2027 date or registration timetable. The organiser’s published event information still refers to 2026. Follow the official La Remences website for the next announcement; do not treat a date in an external calendar as confirmed.
The organiser is Club Ciclista Bas. The 2026 regulations place the start on Carrer Ample in Sant Esteve d’en Bas and describe a non-competitive road sportive with traffic remaining open. Those are reference details for understanding the event, not a promise that every 2027 arrangement will be unchanged.
100 km or 175 km: which route should you choose?
The published route page lists a short itinerary of 100 km with 1,280 m of climbing and a long itinerary of 175 km with 2,600 m. Treat these as the latest published reference routes until the organiser confirms the 2027 edition.
The longer choice adds 75 km and more than doubles the climbing. That is a different endurance day, not simply a small extension. Compare it with your recent rides: how do your legs, concentration and appetite feel after several hours? Choose the route that lets you ride steadily and enjoy the finish rather than relying on a last-minute improvement in fitness.
The short route is still a substantial ride. It can be the better choice if your preparation has been interrupted, you are new to hilly sportives or you want a more manageable day with friends. Agree the format together before travelling, while leaving each rider free to choose a suitable challenge.
Capsacosta and Bracons: plan your effort
The organiser highlights Capsacosta and Coll de Bracons as characteristic climbs. In the published 2026 long-route controls, Bracons comes after the short/long split, well into the ride. Keep that sequence in mind: arriving at an important climb with energy left is more useful than setting a personal best early on.
Practise climbing at an effort you can repeat. Test your easiest gear on sustained gradients before the event and check that shifting remains smooth under realistic riding conditions. There is no single ideal cassette for every rider: your fitness, cadence and the gradient you can handle comfortably matter more than copying another bike.
Descents also deserve preparation. Use familiar tyres and brakes, look ahead and leave room to ride your own line. A demanding sportive rewards concentration throughout the day, not just power on the climbs. Check the final profile and GPX when published rather than assuming an older file is the official route.
Registration, GPX and cut-off times
The official event page links to route tracks and the regulations. Use these sources to check the edition, your chosen route, registration availability and the total price. We are not presenting 2026 fees or opening dates as 2027 offers.
The 2026 regulations include intermediate time controls, feed stations and entry documentation. For 2027, check the updated rules for licences or day insurance, collection arrangements and time limits. Plan stops as part of your total day: moving time on a training app is not the same as elapsed event time.
Travel and accommodation around Sant Esteve d’en Bas
Use Sant Esteve d’en Bas as your starting point when planning the trip. Compare accommodation in the surrounding area by the actual drive or ride to registration, bike storage and breakfast arrangements. An attractive hotel is less useful if its morning logistics do not fit your plan.
If possible, arrive with time to collect your materials and take a short bike check rather than combining a long journey with a rushed start. Confirm the latest parking and access instructions with the organiser. Carry the booking confirmation and identification requested for your edition in one accessible place.
For a club trip, share a simple itinerary: arrival, registration, breakfast and a meeting point after the finish. Riders choosing different distances may return at very different times. Agree who holds car keys and where spare clothing will be, without relying on someone finishing at an exact hour.
A practical preparation checklist
Build consistency before adding distance. Include rides that resemble your chosen route’s duration and climbing, and practise eating and drinking with products you already know. Use training to learn what fits in your pockets and what you prefer to keep on the bike.
Before departure, check tyres, brake pads, shifting, chain condition, bottles and your usual riding position. Pack a suitable puncture solution, pump, charged cycling computer and clothing selected for the forecast. Try any equipment change on a familiar ride before travelling; do not make event morning your first test.
Prepare a simple list for the evening before: bike ready, kit laid out, route checked, devices charged and breakfast organised. Leave enough margin to solve a small problem calmly. The purpose is to enjoy the roads and the atmosphere, not to begin the day already chasing time.
Make the bike you have prepared feel like yours
A carefully prepared road bike deserves a considered final detail. Your name and flag on the frame create a clean, professional-inspired look without taking over the bike’s lines. Match the lettering to the frame and preview your own combination in the Pegatin personaliser.
It is a detail that stays with your training memories as well as your next start line. Create your Pegatin with EVENT15 for 15% off your Pegatin order. Race registration remains separate and is handled by the organiser.
