Yesterday I took the mountain bike again. This time, I decided to explore a little bit and try to reach a small sanctuary not far away from the farm. The path was completely new, and I was not wearing a GPS; I only had my phone with me to check the path every once in a while, as I also did not have the cellphone mounting kit on this old bicycle. Unfortunately, I missed the sanctuary as I was following the main path, while I should have turned left at a certain point, but I was able to see it from a distance. In the end, I had to take the main road to come back, I will try to find a different way in the future to avoid riding next to the cars.
And a short video of the ride while I was reaching the city. This is a secondary road and I did not cross with any vehicle at all during the first 1.5 hours of the trip.
In the afternoon, I decided to take the car and find out the fork I missed in the morning to make sure I get on the correct path next time I try this trip. I also decided to go further away and reach the old bridge of the Ponsul River, a tributary of the Tagus River, which crosses the entire Iberian Peninsula to end in the city of Lisbon.
