CICLOBRAVA By ORBEA is a non-competitive event that takes place at all times on roads open to traffic, which means that all participants must exercise extreme caution throughout the entire route and always respect the highway code.
CICLOBRAVA By ORBEA is organised by the Club Esportiu Bike Catalunya, as part of the Sea Otter Europe Festival.

The participant undertakes to participate in the event at their own risk. Likewise, at the time of registration, the participant declares to be physically fit for the event.

The number plate must be placed on the front of the bicycle and must be clearly visible and not bent. Any advertising must not cover or alter the number plate in any way.
• An identification wristband that the participant must wear throughout the event in order to make use of the bike mechanic service, medical service, refreshments and access to the exclusive participants zone in the finish area.
