Day 7 13 Sep Wander round town. Locals. other locals. Final sad photos. Goodbye, portugal. Airport. Airport beer helps with pain of leaving. The end.
Day 6 13 Sep Looks like another perfect day for trail riding. Amazing rides everywhere we look. Dave sees some pigs… Then crashes into a ditch. No harm done. More refreshments. Brilliant day of riding. Reward. Can’t wait. Now for a bit of sophistication.
Day 5 13 Sep Another great looking day. Blissful peace. back on the trail Scenery First disaster of the day – chain off and stuck. No tools cos we’re on rentals. Stranded miles from town. With Dave’s bike stuck, I went off and found a mechanic at Moto Salir. Cool workshop. Moto Salir to the rescue. Mechanic’s bike. He rode it over very tricky rough trails, one-handed with a big toolbox on his lap. Hero! I piss on your wind turbine. Evening beer on the balcony. Heaven. Er, big tower of meaty goodness. Funny Beer. The reward for a day of riding.
Day 4 13 Sep Another day begins. Bikes all ready for another day on the trails…. …if the damn thing will start. Back on the road Still some rain. Mostly sun. Another roadside refreshment. Bikes to bed for the night. Bedtime beckons, but first… To the balcony… …for a victory beer.
