where we’re going to take off [Applause] left and it’s going to be climbing hill we going from Northwest to Foya going to take the same road which was on Grand Fondo some of the climbs were like 20% steep over there I think not for too long but you know few hair pins job is job okay ladies is it here b b vter cuz Matt want to go his own Rhythm but I next few meters I think it’s uh not really I think it’s not really difficult until we very close to Foya yeah yeah because we can go together till the fin climb to Foya I think he’s going to do it easy Matt I think you’re going to do it it’s for me the hardest part was just before fire and there is a time to rest as well more L not not flat but it’s not crazy I think you can you can stick with us here easy yeah and it’s much better because yeah then you stay at the at the wheel here it’s better it’s beautiful here oh so nice and warm in the sun this is the most beautiful Road in alar I think he can do it yeah the last yeah yeah that’s that’s the worst uh keep Restless and in the between we have this like a little downhill section where you can rest as [Music] well we are on the north side of FO and it’s beautiful [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] now he’s going yeah zero cars it’s just like I mean you [Applause] see y wow look at Foya [Applause] you [Applause] Sasquatch country here’s the section when on Grand Fondo I had this second wind you know I start to feel good again had my rhythm and I catched a slower group and this was the only one time I was smarted during the grand fond I was like okay I’m going to stay with them a little bit and then uh after 5 minutes I wasn’t smart anymore ah I love this wow I love this so when I think about guys going to train in Spain I imagine go they go on roads like this or I think it’s just for example go for trainings can can them to mayca the nice thing is that you have such really options of group ridings you know yeah because every morning everywhere starts GRS that’s the only thing here at the West Coast it’s also nice the West Coast oh this is so beautiful here KN down [Applause] I want to enjoy this cuz this feels amaz this is what all the cycling is [Applause]

we’re sending pictures to mat I think this is where the camera doesn’t do the justice but this is very Steep and it just gets steeper from there good that I have my a mustache so we sending messages to Matt cuz Matt is taking a little bit easier Pace cuz he’s not in shape today and uh you know you don’t have to push every time you know we not racing so as long as you do the whole Road you is still better than yesterday I’m wondering where the the other road goes cuz it looks beautiful as well we’re on the climbing section traditional Portuguese cork you said it’s 3 km now to the top yeah

  1. Yeah that area around Foia is perfect for 3/4 hour rides for riders on the near south coast. (Portimao)
    North of Foia nature is greener. From Marmelete its nice to descend to Selao and onwards to Sao Teotonio.
    It might be a sub 100km ride for you.

  2. Fantastic ride 👏 I did my first mountain ride from Alvor to Monchique via the back of the foia when I was there at Xmas – but what is the leg like from Monchique to Foia. It looks pretty brutal for an average cyclist ! Really enjoy the videos and hopefully might join a ride there one day.
