Colin Cookson likes to ride on Touring Adventure Offroad on Twisty Fast and loves Nature Panoramic view Gastronomy

UK Expat living in Lisbon. Recently moved here and starting to explore. Toured in South America earlier this year. Amazing trip. Lots of trips through Spain (Spanish wife!). Love the mountains roads in Northern Spain.

My roads

N267 Monchique - Sao Marcos da Serra

Portugal - 26Km

My reviews

Passagem Serra do Caldeirão

Endless Curves - N2

Approximately 50 km of endless curves that test your concentration and riding style! Reasonable road surface on this long section. Virtually no traffic on the day I road it, 14 Oct 2018. I rode it north from Sao Bras. If you want some fun heading north this first part of the N2 is great. Sadly it eventually turns into a boring straight road with shocking road surface. Once you hit this part get off the N2 and find a different route!

M501 | S. Teotónio - Monchique

Fab twisty road

Excellent road. Lots of bends and curves. A good mixture of high speed and more technical corners. Road surface was reasonably good most of the time (which is very good by Portuguese road standards!) One of the more fun roads I've ridden since living in Portugal.
