BTT Criminal i Bandolers

BTT Criminal i Bandolers is a late-May mountain bike event in El Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort, organized by Associació Punk Trail Pont de Vilomara. It provides several off-road options: Bandolers is 28 km with 750 m of climbing, Criminal is 35 km with 1,100 m, La Curta is 24 km with 600 m, and the gravel option covers 50 km with 900 m. Some listings also mention 33 km and 42 km BTT routes as non-competitive, suggesting the day is set for challenging rides without a strict race focus. The course options highlight the main challenge: short-to-mid-distance rides with sufficient climbing to make the finish feel rewarding. Participants receive solid and liquid aid stations on course, followed by a grilled meal at the finish. The event embraces a local punk identity, with the organizer referring to it as Catalonia's most “punkarra” race and urging participants to save the date in a similar direct style. CEVIRO members receive a discount when federated, indicating a blend of club riders, mountain bikers, gravel riders, and individuals drawn by the event's ethos as much as the distances.
