Pedro Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Rode from home to the seaside today, this is a cool enough area considering it’s a stone’s throw away from Lisbon and some areas which aren’t so cool. It’s also near Ericeira which is a world surf reserve. Lunch was had at a small countryside cafe, no other clients when I arrived, was even left alone taking care of the place It’s a shame we are in winter time, weather is too good for night to arrive so early. After lunch I noticed a sign to some fortification ruins and went to check them out, following some wind farm service roads. Really like these kinds of roads, am eager to go back to some better tires though. Sign doesn’t say when it was built, it was around 1810 to defend against France and Napoleon with help from the Brits. No walls to be seen though, but it was cool to be there anyway. Half an our later through small back roads and arrived at the seaside Nice ride, today, am posting this from @Sofia’s waiting room while being used as a pillow at the same time 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yes , but this isn’t work, work was annoyingly non eventful...as it’s getting to be the norm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The Lines of Torres Vedras are quite famous, wouldn't fancy climbing up that with people taking pot shots at me. In fact even without them taking pot shots I'd think twice. If you watch 'Sharpe' on tv you can see a combined army of up to 20 men fighting the French there in one episode. There were over 30 men fighting in the Battle of Waterloo episode. I think they were limited on budgets for that series. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not frightened of cats......they just give me a very wide berth because they don't like me. But every dog wants me to take them home! That's why I ended up with 6 at one point.

Specs Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I have an intense dislike of cats. No wonder they were considered the devil’s creatures. Bloody evil things. Unfortunately the damn things seem to like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
