Hunde, Dunkelheit, Panik: So eskalierte meine Gravel-Tour an der Algarve 🇵🇹

The plan was actually perfect: a borrowed gravel bike from the bike shop Bikesul in the Algarve, the new Revoray NEX 2 glasses on my nose, and 120 kilometers of the finest gravel ahead of me. What could possibly go wrong? Well... as it turns out: pretty much everything! This gravel tour in Portugal turned into a real fiasco. From forgotten batteries to aggressive stray dogs to an involuntary night ride without lights, everything was there. Experience the tour that escalated completely in the end! 👓 You can find the Revoray NEX 2 glasses here: https://revoray.com/de/collections/cy... ᵂᴱᴿᴮᵁᴺᴳ Use my code HOBSCOTCH to save 21% on your entire order! 🚲 If you ever need a bike in the Algarve, check out Bikesul: https://www.bikesul.pt Planned route: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/234...
