Sunday ride in Portugal

[Ghost_diver_imp]

This Sunday, taking advantage of the summer weather we’re having here in Portugal, a couple of regular biking friends and I decided on a quick jaunt across the river to the Arrábida National Park.
The road itself is a loop around the Arrábida mountain range, approximately 30 km long, with some nice twisties and gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean.

There were 4 bikes in total, including my cb1100, a Yamaha MT09, a Harley Sporster and a Moto Guzzi Norge.

Meeting in Lisbon for morning coffee, we crossed the 25 de Abril bridge across the Tagus River and headed to Arrábida. We stopped for some pictures and a few minutes of chat on the high pass and headed to Figueirinha beach for some cold refreshments.







After properly… watered…, and registering some photographic proof of our presence, we headed back and stopped for lunch at Maçã Camping Park, where, if you are ever in the neighborhood, I would recommend you try the ribs.

Properly fed, we returned to Lisbon. All in all, I clocked around 140 km of a very enjoyable ride.
