Sao Pedro to Obidos - 🇮🇹 Cycle Cruise Cycle 🇵🇹 - CycleBlaze

Sao Pedro to Obidos

Today was a very full and busy day.  We rode 67km with 3000’ of climbing so finally a real cycling day.  We started in Sao Pedro and ended in Óbidos.  We had 2 options for rides but we took the harder one since we have e-mmbikes.  I suspect today will be the “Queen stage” as they say in pro racing.  It was a truly beautiful day along the Atlantic coast with lovely villages and amazing coastline views.  We were up and down along the coast with some climbs in the double digits but no problem for the sisters.  We are staying the night just outside a medieval village in a lovely renovated old inn.  I have lots of photos so I will let them do the talking.
