Ride 13\/10\/2021 Portugal Day 4<\/a><\/em> <\/p> \n

Well to day was a long hot day in the saddle, with a few climbs but mostly flat as we hit the south of Portugal. I started out at the back today with one of the girls, who’s not a cyclist which is why the first 30 miles nearly took 3 hours. We had a pit stop at 30 miles and Sarah the girl I was riding with hitched a ride in the van after this. This left me with a lot to catch up with as I was way behind the group. I went pretty hard for the next 30 miles to the lunch stop and did manage to catch them up, and thankfully I was still in one piece <\/span> So after lunch I pushed on by myself still trying to make up for some lost time and made the final stop on my own. After this stop I rode the last 15 miles with one of he guys to the Hotel, which is a kind of range hotel in the middle of no where. Any way I managed to clock up the 109 miles in 7 hours with an avg speed of 15 mph with some 6000 feet of climbing <\/span> <\/p> \n\n\t\t
