>>1894551Yeah, I'm in Lisbon right now having a rest until Monday.
It's all going well, but I've got two annoyances:
1) left my down jacket in Aljezur at hostel, they send they will send it to my next rest stop in 2 weeks, but I'm not holding my breath. The nights have been a bit cold.
2) the real issue: Portuguese eurovelo 1 sucks shit. I made the mistake of following it up a super steep gravelly hill and ended up walking my bike for a long time. Since then I've avoided the EV1 and I just take the roads, drivers have been really ok.
I see others, we exchange info and I avoid dumb shit the EV1 throws at me. One example being the sandy beaches that make fuck all sense for a heavy bike.
Otherwise it's good. I've noticed I need to clean my chain every 200-300km. My shifter cable might be getting stretched, but overall it's going well.
Any route recommendations to get to Porto from Lisbon??
