Out of António Gavinho’s great mind and endless pursuit for adventure, Bike Madrid Lisbon was born.
Around 2005 he started his first tourism organization, and has now very well established brands in Active Tourism in Portugal for incoming visitors, in addition to some other promising projects abroad. The Bike Madrid Lisbon’s first draft for the Mountain Bike route started in 2010. For about one year the sketch was drawn, scouted and tested until finally being presented at the first event in 2011.
Through the Central Range mountains, the backbone of the Iberian Peninsula, privileging the landscapes of greater natural beauty, more and more participants joined every year.
The route evolved and improved, but soon the need for a Road Bike event arose, with many followers asking for it. And since we love to welcome all bicycle lovers, on 2014 the first Road Bike journey was made. Nowadays every year we organize a Mountain Bike and Road Bike event for riders all around the world.
The Bike Madrid Lisbon has matured, but is still fresh and young, being reborn in every edition with new participants (or survivors, as we call them), new challenges and new adventures!
