Day 113: Leulinghen-Bernes (Drive)
Well it was a chilly night in Maire. In fact it was so unexpectedly cold
Out cycling with all my friends again - solo!
As a consequence of a South-easterly tailwind, I was effectively blown most of the way from Lagos to Aljezur via Vila do Bispo.
I've previously cycled to Aljezur and I expected to see eucalyptus trees on they way, but saw hardly any: perhaps another errant memory causing confusion!
I did see the after effect of fire affected trees and it does look as though some are recovering: maybe fires took out the eucalyptus?
Shortly after leaving Aljezur there was a steady 10% climb, but the road was in good condition and the road traffic was significantly reduced.
I enjoyed the ride - with the tailwind it made for a pretty fast ride and, the 3-scoop ice cream (Pistachio, Strudel and Limoncello) topped off a good day in Portugal.
