  • Just look at this!

    Storm Ingrid has been hitting Portugal hard, but on Sunday afternoon, January 25, the weather suddenly turned sunny and warm. We took the chance to go for a short bike ride to check the flooding consequences in Soure.
The riverside park was half underwater, the river was close to overflowing, and near the dam a massive pile of branches, reeds, bamboo, and logs was blocking the water flow.
Further along the route, the road under a car bridge was completely flooded β€” about 2 meters deep.
We returned to the dam and decided to act. The two of us started clearing the debris island by hand. After about an hour, a local Portuguese guy joined in.
In nearly three hours, we removed most of the blockage, and the water level dropped by around 30 cm as the current started flowing again.
On the way back home, we stopped by the park once more and were happy to see that almost half of it was already dry.
A meaningful Sunday ride β€” bikes, nature, teamwork, and a real impact.

I also tested all the bike parts after the recent upgrades β€” everything works, with final gear tuning still to be done.

    The old crank is finally off.
Side-by-side comparison with the new one β€” and the difference is more noticeable than I expected.

    2026 Started Like This πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή
    Our first cycling tour of 2026 starts with an unforgettable ride toward Aguieira Dam πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

We rolled out from different cities early in the morning and met in Montemor-o-Velho, where six riders joined forces to continue the journey together.

The route took us through stunning rice fields, often looking like giant mirrors after the rain, followed by a steady climb through small villages and fragrant eucalyptus forests toward Moinhos de Portela de Oliveira.

The weather was perfect for riding β€” sunny, calm, and around 12Β°C in the morning.
One unexpected highlight: a courtyard filled with kiwi plants, with fruits hanging down in big clusters β€” something you don’t see every day πŸƒπŸ₯

This is just the first stage.
Next up: a scenic ride between old mills, castle ruins, and the road to the dam.
