This Sunday 5 of us started from Penina and had a long climb up to Nave, turned left to Cascais and then back to Penina. On the climb we were passed by numerous 4x4's, rally cars and their supporters cars. Obviously we picked the wrong Sunday! As shown in the profiles below the climb was long and difficult, reaching 18.8% at its steepest going around the village of Caldas de Monchique.
