MONCHIQUE RIDE: This is one of our most popular rides in summer and especially with groups. We have several routes down the mountain; tarmac back roads for families, easy dirt roads or technical singletrack. There is also an option to ride all the way back to Lagos (65km+).

We need a minimum of two people to run this ride, if you are on your own and want to book please contact us as we are often taking this ride out twice a week in the summer.
We meet at the unit at 10am, load up the vehicles and drive to Foia, the highest mountain in the Algarve at nearly 1000m. We have a quick drink at the café on the peak before descending the mountain towards Lagos, after about 15kms the road levels out at a reservoir that supplies Lagos and the surrounding towns with water. This is our usual lunch stop with the option of jumping in for a swim if you want. After dinner we follow the edge of the reservoir until it reaches the road (another 15kms). We can then head to the dam wall, which is great to jump off in the summer and get rid of the dust. If you are planning on going into the water make sure you have something to swim in and a towel, these can be left in the backup vehicle that follows us all the way.
