    Hi evryone reading this.
    My name is Mike and I'm coming to live in Braga.
    I'm an Australian and don't speak Portugese very well ( or Type at all )
    I'm looking for people to ride with around Braga.
    Trails, tips or Gps.
    Anything would be great.

    Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    Welcome to portugal and also to the Forumbtt..
    About you'r question for rider's around braga, I'm not too far from braga, like 10 or 15Km ...maybe one sunday morning we can ride together ... :lol:
    for good trails try to find: (the ones i know)
    - Senhora da Saude
    - Santa Marta
    - Sameiro
    - Bom Jesus
    - Citania Briteiros
    you can always find someone to ride with, solo or by group ( the portuguese bikers are very friendly ), try to learn some portuguese and you will find lot's of good trails there....

    p.s. for me it's easier to write than to speak, but i can make an effort :mrgreen:
    i know there is more user's from or near braga ....

    Hello Mike

    Welcome to Portugal and forumbtt.
    I am willing to find someone to ride near Braga as well. I live at Porto but my girlfriend is from Braga, therefore I spend some weekends there. As I don't know any trails I find it very difficult to go out alone.

    Keep in touch by PM or email (rmlpereira@hotmail.com) me to arrange to meet you. Hope we find a nice guide to ride with us :)

    Até Breve! (a more "freely" translation for “See you soon!”

    Portugese people are so friendly...........I love it here!

    See-ya soon fellas!
    Até Breve......

    To me it seems fine.
    I am wondering if someone else is going to meet us there so we can make a good ride.

    II'll wait for your call tomorrow. Maybe I can take us and our bikes from the centre of the city.

    Cristóvão, (zmaxroad) are meeting us or what? It's for a good cause ad we need to welcome our good Australian friend whith a nice traçadinho or Super Bock (so he can substitute the Foster :mrgreen:)

    Pinho what about you and the group? I sent you a PM...

    Hope to see you all Sunday... My spark is willin' to finally get a real ride!!!

    Cheers pals

    You're welcome Mike... After all, I think I should thank You ... in practical terms you've been the guide :mrgreen:

    next time I hope someone from Braga or nearby can guide us.

    Pals, Mike is a very nice fella :) He already knows to say tasquinha, costeleta de vitela, c&%"$"o, f#$&-se and more :)

    So I think we can have wonderful rides all together
