WELCOME TO THE M&M GRAVEL GRINDER
This is the third edition of the M&M Gravel Grinder, a gravel cycling route that crosses the Natural Parks of Montnegre i Corredor and Montseny. We hope you enjoy this area of our country, full of secrets and landscapes that will take your breath away. We will always be by your side to accompany you and make the experience even better.
CHECK IN
The Check-In or Bib Collection will take place at the M&M Village, on Friday May 16 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturday May 17 from 5:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. (5:00 to 5:45 for the M&M 200K).
During bib and geolocator collection, the geolocator will be turned off. This device will need to be turned on on race day when you leave your home/hotel and before departure. It must be carried in the upper part of the backpack. In the exit control we will check that everything is correct. Tracking will be done through Tracmove.
ABANDONMENT
If you want to leave the route, you will have to manage your own return. From the organization we will provide you with several points of departure to facilitate things if necessary, specifying train stations, more direct paved roads, or towns/cities where you can ask for help.
CORRECTED
The organization can modify the track for reasons of force majeure up to the day before. All information will be sent by email. The final track will be sent the week before the event.
MATERIAL
Each participant must bring the material they consider necessary to complete their M&M challenge. However, there are a number of things that are mandatory to participate: front light, rear light, mobile phone and the provided geolocation. The rest of the material is up to you.
The use of a gravel bike with tyre from 37mm to 42mm, although the test can be done without problems with any bike capable of riding off-road.
SECURITY
Emergency numbers will be written on your number in case you need it at some point. Remember that to wait for the departure you will have to have insurance for one day. If you haven't hired it because you already have one, check to see if it covers you in an event like this.
DEPARTURE
M&M 200K participants will depart at 06:00, M&M 120K and M&M 85K participants will depart at 09:00.
CLIMATE
On May 17, 2025, the sun will rise at 06:34 and set at 21:14. During this time of the year we can find temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees. During the route you will pass from sea level to more than 1,000 meters of altitude, therefore there may be differences in temperature. There may also be rain or wind during the time of the event.
