3Days Road Riding In Northern Portugal..

[smithy]

Just got back the other day from Northern Portugal road riding
in the National park, style of riding started off through sleepy
villages then on to Alpine Passes. 3000ft of climbing and staying in mountain youth hostels, hence havin to carry little
rucksacks so didn't quite look the Biss.. All traffic totally
respect bikes out there, even the white van man gives way
to you I payed 18euro a day for me bike, a Portugal made
brand mid range, loved it just maybe a tab to small,, but i was
told at the shop. Weather floating between 24 and 26.
Done the whole thing independently- flight only Liverpool
to Porto, hired van to carry bikes. Total cost of everythin £310.
Happy days A few pics...

Smithy but the Carbon Roadie

Love the look of that KTM (like their Motor Bikes too!) Not sure if that shot in the all blue lycra is sporting some shaven legs though??

[motoxman]

If they make cycles like their mx/enduro bikes then it will be money well spent

[summittoppler]

Sounds great mate, well done for getting it nailed laa

I see from the first pic you took your socks off and stuffed them down yer ...........


well done though, I hope you sampled some nice local vin rouge

Now that looks like 3 days well spent. Road biking on the continent is a must do sometime, well jealous.

But come on Smithy........ WTF

[BenKMV]

Why do you think he's holding on so tight Jeff

Looks like you had a great time, I love Portugal, but I am slightly disappointed that the leopard skin thing didn't make an appearance;)

Trace and myself know where he keeps his leopard skin G string, ;D ;D ;D
