Description

Enduring cold, heavy rain, and a headwind, the track proved to be a silver lining on an otherwise challenging day. Tomorrow, I hoped for brighter skies and smoother paths. Additional Info: Pombal, with its historic castle, provides a glimpse into Portugal's medieval past. The castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
