Why Do You Need This File?
As a local cyclist in Portugal with years of experience, I can tell you that not all roads are great for cycling. Google Maps is not the best guide and it often mixes up routes, taking you onto highways or rough trails that aren’t suitable for road bikes (or any bike at all!).

Trust me, having the right route will make your ride safer and way more enjoyable. Just leave a message for me using the form below and I get back to you ASAP to help you with your bike trip.
