Hello fellow steemians.

Yesterday was the second stage of tour of Algarve, a five stage competition that happens in the region of Portugal where I live. This tour is known for being a pre season event for some of the most prestigious teams in the world and for the Portuguese cycling teams is an opportunity to ride with the best.

Yesterday event, was right on my backyard, so I decided to wait for the tour on a mountain award, and them follow them on bike.

Some fast riding just before the mountain award.

The main bunch on the way to the mountain award.

After they passed I decided to follow the convoy mostly because I didn't knew the loop that they were about to make. I'm very glad that I went, following them, I got so many water bottles from so many different teams, and that was a really funny experience. Mostly because I wasn't planning in picking them.

The route was absolutely amazing, I still get surprised with the beauty of my country. The total loop was around 115 klms for me.

The first part of the day.
