Why this ride
Ridge roads, ocean wind and a palace-town pause. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then let the middle 38 km be the part you remember. The best part sits around Sintra palace roads, Cabo da Roca, Guincho coast, while the fuel checkpoint and Cascais food keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.
