Starting on the Northern Border with Spain in the town of Melgaco on the River Minho on May 5th we aim to reach the southern tip of Portugal on May 11th. Gybe Gilbert, Jeroen Markies, Peter Cross, Renny Leach, Alastair Pinkney, Nigel Foster and Mark Sewell make up the team. So that's 800km (500 miles) and 6,500m (21,000 ft) to climb in 7 days, cycling 112km (70 miles/day). Should be fun!

A week to go
Training ride to the seaside today. 10kg of water in the panniers and a full top box, so fully loaded. Very flat though, averaging 16mph....nothing like the mountains next Sunday!

The Not so Magnificent Seven Ride for the First Time Together
With two weeks to go, we did a 53 mile ride in Sussex: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/301028899
All went well apart from the start - Jeroen finds the only pot hole:
but we then get going, and enjoy the beautiful weather all morning:
