Takes of random adventuring, mostly by pedal power - with scattered ecology and cultural anecdotes thrown in. Initiated in the Sonoran desert, continuing where never the road leads.

  1. Back in Porto, Loop Complete!

    Back in Porto, Loop Complete!

    Figueroa de Foz to Aveiro to Porto. We combine the rides north after hanging out with our friends’ Michelle and Sacha in Aveiro. Amazing home cooked meal with different flavor and incredible bike infrastructure on the coast! #pdlngprtgl #portugal #portugalcoast #aveiro #porto

    Chasing a Sunset

    Coimbra to Figueira de Foz. Dedicated bike paths along the primary canal escorted us to the coast. By far our shortest and flattest ride of the trip. Then a walk on the beach for sunset! #pdlnglrtgl #portugal #coimbra #figueiradefoz

  3. Caminho to Coimbra

    Caminho to Coimbra

    Tomar to Coimbra. Our favorite ride of the trip. Connected the tiniest of villages by cobbled paths. Used forest road through eucalyptus plantations. And passed pilgrims in the Caminho Santiago. People out and about. The. Coimbra - busting and beautiful on a Sunday afternoon! #pdlngprtgl #portugal #tomar #coimbra

  4. Slow Train to Lisboa

    Slow Train to Lisboa

    Lisbon! We do European capitals fast and furious. We took an opportunity to take a train into the culinary home of Portugal and made the most of our seven hours in the sunny streets of the Alfama. District. So many calories consumed! #pdlngprtgl #portugal #lisbon #octopussalad #grilledsardines

  5. The Knights Who Say Ni

    The Knights Who Say Ni

    Tomar. We used the time waiting out a two-day storm to explore an 8OK sting matchbox collection, walk the perimeter of the castle of the Knights Templar and book tomorrow’s round trip train ticket to Lisbon. Oh, and we found the one city in Portugal that is dog friendly. #pdlngprtgl #portugal #tomar #knightstemplar #matchboxmuseum

  6. To the Hostel, Batwoman

    To the Hostel, Batwoman

    Evora to Tomar. A weather window afforded us a reroute back to Porto. The first leg though needed to be big, 100 miles big, to reach Tomar and sit out two more days of storms. Dang tropical storms. We left the aqueduct in Evora under the morning sunrise and made great time to the city of the Knights Templar. Just in time to claim our twin beds in the hostel. #pdlngprtgl #portugal #alentejo #dao #evora #tomar

  7. Evora and the Cromeluchs

    Evora and the Cromeluchs

    Our favorite city: Evora!! Roman ruins and neolithic megaliths. Plus a few lessons learned in getting dinner in Portugal. #pdlngprtgl #portugal #evora #megaliths

  8. The Kessel Run

    The Kessel Run

    Marvão to Evora. The weather (heavy rain and strong wind) changed our transit plan to Evora. We opted for a taxi ride and enjoyed the better part of the day walking around this amazing city! It’ll leave a gap in our route north to south but the sunshine in Evora and city bustle filled our spirits more than slogging through the wind and rain. We’ll live to ride another today…like tomorrow! #pdlngprtgl #portugal #evora #alentejo #blackpork
