October 2020 in Algarve:
ASB (Algarve Senior Bikers) had to cancel all group rides, due to Corona restrictions. Normally there is one group ride per month. That I also a charity event.
The Restrictions varied between.
a) Drive wherever you want, but very limited number of people
b) Do not drive outside of your own council during weekend.
c) No driving at all permitted, except for essential reasons.
Some members of ASB did an incredible job to create the ASB challenge.
They picked 21 interesting points. The points them selves,or the routes there were interesting. The points were spread over the whole of Algarve. To give us an opportunity to do nice solo rides. On wonderful roads and to nice places. And at the same time get to learn more about the region. They provided map, excel sheet and GPX file. Thanks to you who did this work.
Later they did another set of 21 more points.
They also created ASB challenge photo contest.
With the requirement that the photo should be from one of the points, including the driver or the bike.
I do not write any stories about the trips. But just provide my sets of photos. One set for challenge 1 , and another for challenge 2. I have processed the photos to lower the resolution and lowered the quality. To save bandwidth.
For every place, there is
a) One photo from the place with number and name
b) One photo of my bike at the place (No selfies)
c) 1-5 additional photos from or around the place.
I provide link to the photos. One link each for challenge 1 and 2. I do not upload the pictures.
