All of the downhill tracks in the Algarve, Portugal are assisted uplift only. You either know where they are and push up to ride down, or you hire the services of a guide and/or uplift vehicle. It makes sense to book an uplift day if you want to spend more time riding than pushing!
The tracks in the Algarve are either very short and technical in the East or very long and technical in the West. There are shorter tracks on the West but the best routes are on Monchique and Picocta, they are long and great to ride.
As the tracks have good access all the way along them, they are a good location for skills coaching. It doesn’t matter if you are a racer wanting to shave off time or a beginner looking for new skills, an experienced coach is always the answer.
