We have noticed that there seems to be a passion here for vintage motor-cycles. Rob was invited to go and watch the start of a Motor Bike Rally which was taking place at a nearby village "Atalaias" on the last day of their Festa. However when he got there (on his quad-bike) he was invited to take part in the rally so he decided to tag on and "ride it out", not having a clue what was to happen. For the pleasure of joining you pay 15 euros which enables you to consume copious amounts of refreshments ranging from water, soft drinks to vino and beer, (very thirsty work is riding for fun in the midday heat on a hot summer's day!!!!!) sandwiches and savouries during the journey, a T-Shirt with the name of the event written on it and then lunch which is usually chicken, chips, rice and salad. The Rally takes a route through many towns and villages where the riders stop, pap their hooters for people to admire their bikes!!!!!! He came back 4 hours later (was supposed to be a half-hour run out on the quad-bike) with a huge grin on his face after a fun morning.
Unfortunately Rob forgot to take the camera with him (usually my job) so we are not able to post any pictures from the event !!!!!!!!!!!
FREESTYLE MOTO RALLY - VALE D' URSO
We also went to a Moto Freestyle Rally, again not knowing what to expect but was told we would enjoy it, and we did! There were two professional bike riders performing tricks on motor-cycles and quad-bikes an it was very entertaining, a tad on the dangerous side if you ask me (but I am a girl!!) Rob didn't think so but then he did go on to say he wouldn't like to try any of it!!!!
