As an Exodus employee who has done only a handful of cycling trips, I found one of the real attractions of the Lisbon to Algarve Ride is the variety it offers, both in scenery and riding style. Over the course of the week, you’ll cycle a mix of quiet tarmac roads, coastal gravel tracks, purpose-built trails and the occasional sandy section, ensuring the terrain is constantly changing and engaging. Following sections of the spectacular fishermans trail, you’ll ride through rolling countryside, traditional villages, pine forests, dramatic cliff-top paths and some of Portugal’s most unspoilt beaches.

John Englert Lisbon to Algarve RideThis was a wonderful trip, and the scenery was spectacular! Ample opportunity to experience local cuisine.
We rode e-bikes but a few people had regular bikes. Regular bikes are fine for those looking for a physical challenge, but e-bikes made everything so much easier!
There is a significant amount of riding on unpaved trails, some of it quite challenging especially when encountering deeper sand. For those of us who are experienced with riding on unpaved and/or mountain bike trails, riding this terrain was actually quite fun! However this may be somewhat of a surprise for those used to more of a classic road biking experience.
