Another impressive day unfortunately with a different outcome as expected.

Yesterday I wrote something about a walk in the park? How can I be this naive. This stage was awesome, very hard, but with the most spectacular views and descents I’ve ever experienced.

This day that can be described as “chain left”. That means you don’t even shift to the big blade anymore, because it’s going up again right away anyway.

As Chris said, let’s rock & roll we started the ride from Braga into the Alvão National Park and on to today’s destination, the wounderful Douro Valley.

Let’s go to Portugal, arriving and transferring from Porto to Braga, the northern largest city in Portugal for a come together and get to know each other before we cope the first stage of the tour.

After all the one day events, interim reports, COV19 cancellations, finally an event that deserves the name of this page, a tour. A tour through Portugal, the Transportugal Roads Tour. From the very north through the country to the most southwestern corner to the “last german sausages before America”. And of course there will be again a daily tour report with photos, interviews, and stories.
