The world is your oyster

Good day in south of Portugal. Unlike yesterday, it started with easy trails and then diverted to the south western coast which is again beyond stunning. In a way, just doing TET Portugal one would miss quite a few highlights. I could easily see myself getting a house on the Atlantic coast. I have not seen many other more spectacular places place to live.

Yesterday was a tough day with demanding terrain especially due the wet & muddy conditions often mixed with clay and deep sand. Gave me a good workout and way too many "oh shit" moments. Worked out well. Can't say the same about a Norwegian group of riders which required emergency rescue services due to a simple fall, breaking one's leg. Wish them a safe return and recovery! One should not underestimate the potential diasaster that can happen in a split of a second. I really try to be sensible and turn around when I feel things could get too ugly.

Tomorrow, I hope to finish the Portuguese TET and cross back into Spain, hoping for positive news about ferries to Morocco starting in April 1st.

Anyways, a great day but I will only feel a true winner when I get hugs from my wife and kids back home!Read more
