Cycling Around Portugal
Cycling counterclockwise around the country the journey begins September 1st, 2020. For one month I will cycle through sparkling cities and quaint villages; rugged forests and rolling plains. I will begin the journey south of the Tagus River, cycling south along the Atlantic coast aided by the trade winds, then cycling east along the Algarve coastline before cycling north through the interior of the country along the border of Spain. After cycling west through the northern region of the country, I will again join the Atlantic coast to cycle to my home in Lisbon.
This trip is designed to be a solo trip, but friends are welcome to join and I’m sure I will make new ones along the way. The journey won’t be easy, but I will draw upon my previous experiences having cycled across the US in 2010 and cycled along the Mediterranean in 2016.
