Shout out to Sergio Paulinho, admired in Portugal. First Olympic medal in cycling for Portugal

Rode it with a friend a few years ago. 4 beautiful days of cycling and memories for a lifetime. Nice to see it featured here.

Thanks Ben, as a growing older San Diego bike racer...I am humbly thankful for your videos. That looked amazing! I spent a couple weeks riding my bike through Tuscany 30 years ago and will never forget it. Keep the good stuff coming.. thank you sir!

Cheers, Gary.

What an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing.

Another fantastic video Ben. You are "No Joe!" Keep making the outstanding videos so us Real Joe's can live the dream through you. Thanks for all you do Ben.

Great video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I enjoyed the long-form style - great to watch with a coffee on a rainy Saturday morning.

OMG, you get to go nice places 🇵🇹 😮😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. What an inspiring experience and video. Nice one Ben, really enjoyed this one 🚴🤗 You certainly seemed to have lived up to your own motto: Enjoy the ride!

Good old N2! Hope you guys enjoyed our roads!

Heck yeah, we did. Especially with Sergio and Rui showing us all the good stuff in the cafes as well as on the roads.

Ben ... I did not see a Pastel de Nata or SuperBock in the entire video! I can imagine editing this one was tough considering all the share-worthy video. The week before your trip .... a friend and I did a 7 day trip in a huge loop (1000km) from Porto and rode some of the N2, notably the curvy vineyard road you featured. I have almost the same video shot. The roads, history, towns, people, food, drink, views, weather, etc. were just excellent. Truly a place to Enjoy the Ride.

Faro is such a beautiful town. Gotta make my way back to the region

Beautiful bikes and country and food and people... Enjoy the ride 🫵🏼🤘🏼

Great idea, amazing service! Would like to try it! Thanx for your videos as usual. Nice tempo without all these modern ruuuuuushhh in presentation!

enjoyed that immensely! thanks!!

Super ride! Looks like great weather and great riders to ride with! Congrats!

“The Best” - Enjoy the ride!

lovely! maybe they can get a blue bike for you next time 😊

I have a man crush on Laurens…tough guy on a bike, and funny! Oh, and you’re impressive too Ben.

Now that’s proper living.

Be honest - riders like Ben Delaney are not “Regular Joes.”

This was the most epic ride I’ve ever seen / bucket list / and kudos on your commentary and production quality! Man I don’t think I’ll see you wanting to do the medical fitness talk anytime soon 🤣 with these epic rides!

The trip of my dreams, which would take the time I don't have and the endurance I lack - but boy I envy you 😊

Been watching your content soon after you started your channel. It just keeps getting better!!! Also jealous. This ride looks awesome!

I don’t see any regular Joe’s? Who is Ben referring to? I only see guys with hard packed calf’s… ready for that moment! Wow, top class service… those guys look super professional and seem to really enjoy the sport! Hats off to that crew. As for You, you just a Rockstar now Ben.

Just finishing up a tour from Lisbon to Lagos mostly on Eurovelo 1 along the coast. It's amazing riding for sure!

Thanks for bringing this company to light. Ride looks awesome and would love to do one of these. Question: can you ride your own bike? Dogma seems like too aggressive of a bike for “touring” especially for non racers

Hey, Ben. Welcome to Portugal!!! Be shure to eat a "francesinha" sandwich ( little french girl, literally !!! ) in my hometown of Oporto, sided by a Super Bock lager. Good ridance...

Does anyone know a good ear doctor?

I was wondering what Laurens Ten Dam is up to , is he not doing Lifetime grand prix this year?

"Regular Joes" sure

Oh. Like the regular hardware bike porn isn't bad enough (we're innured to that), now we have to have lustworthy bike trip porn too? 🙂 That looks like a magnificent experience, particularly at the more normal daily distances for their regular rides.

I will pull the whole way... not... 🤤

Pinarello keeping the tradition alive, the ugliest road bikes ever made.

OMG doing a trip like this with some dudes in tow to fix your wheel, rack your bike, even to load bidons in the morning etc, etc. I can't imagine anything worse, being independent and solving your own issues is an integral part of the adventure. This program is awful IMO.
