Montejunto climb
Details
Hi Bike Buds! 馃毚
#FollowTheCalves 馃Φ馃徎 are climbing hills this weekend! --One big hill on Sunday :-) We'll take the train to Azambuja, then ride to the top of Serra de Montejunto which is about 1000m of elevation gain. More than enough to to earn ourselves a delicious stop at Bar de Serra! On the way back we'll go by Castelo de Alenquer.
The Ride:
- A to B (if you take the train, or A-to-A also possible if you drive).
- 80km, 1000m elevation gain.
- Scenic approach, a few steep sections of climbing, and a nice stop at the top. Fun downhill and a scenic castle village to visit as well.
Trains:
- We'll take the 07:20 Urban train to Azambuja (arrives 08:15), and return from Vila Franca de Xira or one of the nearby stations on the Azambuja urban line. As always, please note that you are responsible for buying your own train ticket(s), if needed. Reservations for the Urban train are neither possible nor required.
Bikes
- We ride road and gravel bikes, but for this social ride any bike will do.
What to bring
- Do not come without water and a helmet!
- Spare tube, tools.
- An appetite for some ice cream, adventure, and some fun!
Cordial Calves,
Alex and Bike Buds
