Portugal End to End

Welcome to our exciting new tour, which takes us on one of the most famous roads in Portugal, the N2. The tour runs from Saturday to Sunday with 7 days of cycling which will take you down the backbone of Portugal, from North to South, crossing 4 mountain ranges, 11 rivers and 29 municipalities.

This tour is aimed at cyclists who like a challenge with an overall distance of 729km and almost 10,000m of climbing needed to reach our end goal of the resort of Faro. The tour has been planned so that mileage and climbs are achievable for most regular cyclists, however hill training and consecutive days in the saddle beforehand is essential. Throughout the tour our cycling guide will be on hand to offer guidance and encouragement, and our support van will wait at convenient points along each route to provide assistance

Arrival / Departure Transfers

We are offering transfers from Porto to Chaves, some 150km away. Porto provides flight options from several UK airports. Our transfer bus will leave no later than 1pm for the 2 hour journey to our starting point at Chaves, so your flight will need to arrive at least 1 hour before then.

For anyone travelling with their bike, depending on the numbers, there may be an extra charge if we need a vehicle with a trailer.

Bike Transfers

We will happily transport your bike to Chaves and back from Faro at no extra charge. If you drop your bike off at our Sheffield office up to four days before departure we will carefully pack it in the support van, drive it to the start and then return it to Sheffield ready for you to collect.

If that isn’t convenient then depending where you live we may be able to collect your bike on our journey from Sheffield to Dover. Please get in touch with us to discuss arrangements.
