ASB Gravel Roads Riding Group

On Tuesday 3rd October, nine ASB members congregated at a cafe near Lagos, before taking mostly gravel country roads north, to the area of Monchique and Marmelete, for approximately 50kms.


The group comprised a mix of adventure bikes and enduro bikes, some almost new models, some not so.


Conditions were perfect, commencing at 26 degrees and rising.


But a fun ride was had by all


We took in Miradouro da Fóia



The day rounded off with a fine choice of meal in Marmelete:



"Adeus", till the next time.....
