On a scale of 1-10 how good an idea is it to go trail riding in Portugal in either November or early December?
Nothing too serious, just a steady day out doing a couple of hundred miles per day, almost certainly winging it regarding where to stop with the only essentials being a bed, a bar and food. The idea is to use my Husqvarna FE501 very lightly loaded hence the use of hotels and to spend 8 days between ferry crossings just exploring the countryside.
I’ll be putting the off road wheels/tyres rather than the 50/50 ones on the bike so minimal road use and with the planned relatively low mileage there’ll be no need for messing about doing an oil change during the trip which simplifies matters a bit.
Route planning will consist of downloading the TET Portugal maps as a starting point then depending on weather deviate a bit if I like the look of somewhere with a bit of visual assistance from the inevitable Michelin maps.
It all sounds very simple so what am I missing?
