Yes, some might have been worth avoiding!

So much fun to follow you through hills of the type some of which we did and some we ducked!

Of course. I mean no disrespect to our First Nations who called 'our' country home WAY before this date.

I took a few other dirt roads kind of on a whim and I have not regretted it. This being said, if there had been any rain I would have avoided them - not wanting to be covered with wet sand or mud.

This is the Linha do Sabor ecopista/greenway. It is a former railbed that winds its way from Duas Igrejas to Pocinho though about a third of it is not rideable in the centre portion, yet. A friend of mine told me about this route so it is the big reason I came specifically here to cycle. It was fabulous.

This is the first dirt road that I've noticed on your route. Have there been others? What made the decision to take this one. It looks like good quality riding.

But the terraced hillsides are so impressive!

Looks like Scotch Broom, an invasive and difficult to eradicate plant where we live. It is pretty though.

Ah good, I was hoping your sched was the same!

Interesting to follow you heading west, as we head further west just ahead of you and then north to the Spanish border. This will be followed by going south along the coast to Porto. All this noodling about is so that we can use up the necessary time before we arrive in Porto. Still looking forward to meeting you.
