Pedro

As long as bikes to have decorating the garage, that’s a cool one to have.

The other one was way nicer, though. Better landscape, colours on the bike, and shows you’re not ashamed of your box.

It’s a pretty little road that one. Feels like 100 years ago.

You still …

Can’t see the point of those shorts except to make it a sexy sport.

women’s beach volleyball, used to be all men watching that here in Espinho.

He probably can't help it as soon as he sees Pete's jeans tucked into his shoes. It's the style!

Good to know you're finally ok on the bike, Pete, just in time for spring to arrive in a moment. Going for the sympathy vote I see

more like cabin fever, it looks like

If there’s no sign allowing just habitants, it’s usually ok as it crosses the village. Some of them end up in villages where a car can’t turn around hence the forbidden signs, also in the summer tourist traffic would make them impossible. That one in the picture though, that’s a main road entering that village, used daily by everyone, but there was tarmac leading up to it on the main road.

I’ve upgraded to a lithium one, with way better specs than the stock one. Apart from the first month or two when it was really new I can’t tell the difference. It does weight less than half, though, but it’s not like I’m a lightweight rider on a lightweight bike.

I think we might have that then, but I’ve only been through when dry and very dusty. That sort of dust glues itself to everything.

Let’s hope that the way they cracked it isn’t a new exotic valvetrain every two hours.

Just a reminder, a little after 21:00 I’ll be closing this and starting the poll.

What’s that white stuff on your tires? Looks like white grass? Never saw anything like that.

Aldeia da Pena is known as “the place where the dead man killed the living”. I just looked it up and many years ago, a casket bearer lost his footing on a steep slope (no roads back then), the casket fell on him and killed him!

Desmos are better at controling valves and cams at very high revs, no? From what I gather that’s also most of the current mx engines weak point? Sounds interesting to see how they cope.

I hope you meant “near” Pedro me neither, except if already on tour.
