    Hi all,

    Heading over to Portomao in May for a week's holiday and wouldn't mind renting a road bike for couple of days so I can get out for a couple of spins. Happy to go solo but would prefer to go with a group. +/- 100km with moderate climbing.

    I looked offline but nothing jumped out as being suitable.

    Any suggestions?

    I stayed in alvor couple years ago, beside portimao. Lovely part of the world, nice cycling around there. I took my own bike though, was only around 100 quid for it on the plane. Likewise didn't see much online renting, but that was 2012

    think its an online middleman for local bike rental shops/places

    theres a good hilly stage of the Volta ao Algarve near you up to Monchique

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    I stumbled across https://www.sunbiketoursalgarve.com who are close to Portimao and look to be highly regarded.

    Now that I know I can either rent a bike for going solo or do a tour or two I just have to figure out how to get my wife to suggest I should go do it :P
