On the 24th of October 2016, we went to say goodbye to the waves on the Portuguese Atlantic coast in Azenhas do Mar. We were already 4 months into our year off, had cycled from Switzerland to Portugal, cycled around a good deal in Portugal, spent time with our families.

We took this picture almost exactly a year ago. We had just come up a seemingly never-ending uphill in baking heat, and were making our first pedal strokes in Portugal. Little did we know at that time that we would cycle well over 2000 kilometres in this country, spread over the whole year. Summer, winter, … Continue reading So, how was it? – Two recumbents in Portugal

Etape de Madrid (Alcobendas) à Lisbonne (du 12 au 28 février 2017) Il est dimanche matin, le réveil sonne à 7 heures. Nous n’avons dormi que trois heures.

Comment perdre du poids après le vélo

Miguel — Sat, 04 Mar 2017 07:00:27 +0000

En Amérique du Sud j’ai décidé me lancer le défi de ne pas me raser jusqu’au retour à Lisbonne. Du coup j’ai réussi à avoir la barbe de 2 mois et 3 semaines avec une chevelure de 5 mois. Ce matin finalement j’ai perdu du poids. Et ça se voit!

10’000 km cycling!

Miguel — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:31:09 +0000

We can say that a difficult journey starts when you are still 30 km from the planned arrival point and you really need to make a break in the middle of the long climb because you are already tired. The legs are still sore from previous days long journeys. Twenty minutes and some food later … Continue reading 10’000 km cycling!
