boboneleg Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 On your bike , with your bike, whatever you like. Photos that remind you of a great trip or just a great day out riding. I'll start with this one.............. I think it's 2011 , it's definitely in the Alps and on one of my favourite bikes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 June 2020, rode from home up the river Douro and south on the smallest roads I could find the closes to the border with Spain, all the way to the shore in the Algarve, and Sagres. Portugal had closed borders because of covid, this trip made me fall in love with riding around my own country. This is a tiny municipal road near the Tejo in Rosmaninhal, it's tarmac but very broken, very narrow, wavy, patches of gravel, it's one of my favourite spots. This was on the way to meet up with Sofia and my birthday was the next day, it was getting to 40º and I think you can almost see that in the picture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Cheese sandwich and a tiny glass of wine near the Serra da Estrela on a rainy miserable weather April day, Sofia felt like a local specialty cheese sandwich but covid had everything closed. This was good enough and really hit the spot. The cafe owner went home to fetch us some cheese for the sandwiches, northern hospitality. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Near the top of the Sommelier in 2005, we’re at about 2,800 meters here. I’m retrieving my camera from the top box on my Transalp. My mate’s Varadero is in front , he had a hairy time on the way back down as it had linked brakes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Varadero must have been so cursed at! It was the challenge to get that far up on those bikes. Most of the other bikes there were small singles. That was in the second week of July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
