Alentejo

After a whole month with nice and smooth roads, cool weather, and a constant will to ride, we reached Alentejo. Even though there are some good mountains around here, the average temperature goes around 40º c. in the shade, wich makes us ride not more than 2 hours a day. We proceed slowly in Alentejo...

For 2009 Portugal By Skate

Hey 

For 2009, Portugal by skate is making a complete and new event. This year, and for the first time, we are inviting people to come with us in this journey, more than a 1000 km in 63 days on the road, a summer full of adventures.

Since 2007 we've been starting in Caminha, in the north of Portugal, and we've been taking all way down by the sea line to reach the goal in Vila Real de Santo Antonio in Algarve. This ye

ar the departure and arrival points are the same but the way is going to be completely diferent: we chose to make it along the border line near spain, we gonna catch all the hills we can!!!

Don´t even think about fancy vacaciones: we will camp allmost every day... think about this trip as an adventure.

We don´t have any suport to pay anything, each people pays for their own things... We're still looking for some suport .

If you need some more information mail us: portugaldeskate@gmail.com

Finally ready to go!

All the sporsorships requirements are now closed: we're happy about our support, and without it Portugal by Skate wouldn't work!

Therefore we must thank to Movijovem that will provide acommodations in Pousadas da Juventude, to DJ Cheve who is going to bring to PortugalbySkate a soundystem, take nice photos, drive the van and ride toOo...

Our gratitude to IDT which institutionalized (sorry if you can find this word in your dictionary) our desire to do something for society.

A huge thanks to Central de Cervejas, to Panegara and to Agel. Also to SG Consulting, to Gabinete de Terapias Manuais which will look after participants health and to AboardShop that keeps giving it's skates for everyone to use.

A big hug to those who still believe and cherish our philosophy, such as Família Fazuma, OndaSurf, Conquilha, JCServ, Cenas a Pedal, Aqui Brazil! and everyone we don't mention here.

And a big thanks, gracias, grazie, danke, merci, arigato, to all the friends that make our insanes ideas look as perfectly normal ideas.

Our new site is getting dressed too: meanwhile watch some cool videos at http://www.portugaldeskate.org/, our new internet adress.
