Transalgibre route in the Algarve...
I was wondering whether anyone has done this route?

"Ribeira de Algibre is the name for the river that the route of the ride is following from its source at Fonte Filipa, near Loulé downstream to end up in the Atlantic Ocean at Vilamoura, some 60 kms further. Traditionally this ride is organised the 10th of June which is the national holiday to celebrate the Portuguese republics anniversary, also called Dia de Camões, referring to the countries greatest national poet.
Riding along the meandering banks of the Algibre river is a true mtb party itself. It is probably due to this precious valley's singletracks that mountainbiking in the Algarve gained so much popularity amongst residents as well it continues to surprise visiting bikers."
It's run annually as a cyclosportive, but I'm thinking of doing it next week when I have a couple of days out there riding.
Thoughts, experiences, other route ideas welcomed!
Thanks in advance.
