TP Stage 8

Trans Portugal challenge done. What an experience over the last 8 days. Unbelievable organisation, new country, new friends. Still cannot put my head around having done this for 8 days. Day Video.

The last day also had a lot of Portugese single tracks at the last moment. Long stretches along small water canals. Also through very low trees and bush with lots of rocks. Really appreciated how lucky we are with our Cape trails.

Trans Portugal success -so pleased
