ASB members met in Paderne for a ride on Friday 21st of November for a ride to Malhão in the hills north of Salir. The route was planned and should have been led by Hans who was unable to attend when the ride was delayed by two days due to bad weather. In his absence the ride into the mountains between Salir and Almodovar was led by David and Steve.
The weather continued to improve as the ride progressed. Grey skies on the way up the hills to Malhão where the views were restricted by the overcast weather conditions.
Then changing to blue skies by the second break at the Fonte in Sao Barnabe and finishing with warm sunshine at the finish in SB Messines at lunchtime.
Although the the ride was a bit disappointing due to the weather the lunch provided by Rui and his staff at Restaurante Joao de Deus was enjoyed by all.
Earlier this month ASB members attended a presentation by Mark Rink of Imergencies, a company offering help in your own language in case of any medical or other emergency. A service which could be of great use to everyone, not just motorcyclists, particularly if you do not have a good knowledge of the Portuguese language. Visit the website for more information.
