“What an amazing day with weride. I live in the Lisbon area but had a friend from UK visiting, so we did the Sintra day with weride. These guys are awesome. They judge your skill level, choose the best trails, stunning scenery, amazing lunch stops, rider coaching, and many many many laughs. You won't find nicer MTB guides, and you won't be disappointed. Worth the money. I will repeat.” - Matt Hardcastle
“Had a great day yesterday with Hugo as my teacher and guide. Sintra is beautiful and the tracks are diverse and very nice above all. Coming from a flat country it sometimes felt as a true beginner but the fun was there for sure. All things were arranged very well before, during and after. A special thanks to Hugo, great person!!”

“2nd time visiting WERIDE and Portugal for some amazing enduro riding for a couple of days. I have visited a few different spots in Europe and this is absolutely top notch. Trails are fantastic and you find a lot of different features riding them. Jumps in all sizes, beautiful and challenging rock and boulder sections and good berms-rhythm in the deep woods as well as open fast and easy sections that takes you from top of the mountain down to the beach for a well deserved beer. Rental bikes are in really good condition and guides are social easygoing professionals that will make you a better driver at the end of the day. Yes, I will probably be back for more :) “

“I heard about WERIDE from a Pinkbike article and boy did it live up to the hype. I rode in Sintra with guide José and just one other person for the full day. Prior to the ride, they communicated with me thoroughly on my skill level, fitness, timing for the day, and what trails I liked to ride. After answering all of those questions and then getting to ride with them, it was like the tailored the group ride to my exact skill level. I rented a Transition Patrol from WERIDE and it was a solid bike as far as rentals go. We did most of our climbing on dirt roads and then descended an epic diversity of trails, to deep green forests with loamy dirt to fast rocky sections with an ocean view. Both the guide, the other customer and I were about the same skill level, which helped make it feel like just a couple guys going out for a ride. José is incredibly friendly and is fantastic to talk to about all things bikes and Portugal. If you do the full day, know that Sintra has some springs you can get water at but you should bring some snacks. My day in Sintra was one of my favorite days of riding of my life, and would recommend to any biker visiting Lisbon.”

“I spent the weekend riding with Duarte and José from WERIDE. Both were excellent guides who took great care of us and showed us the best riding that the area has to offer. Lots of respect for building and maintaining such a multitude of trails. On a side note, a lot of guiding companies find it difficult to accommodate solo travellers, but this was not a problem for WERIDE. Overall, very highly recommended!”

I had a superb day riding! Great trails and a top guide with João. Highly recommended and the Banshee Rune hire bike was spot on! I was impressed. Will be back! Happy trails!

"Massive thanks to WERIDE and Duarte especially for the day out in Sintra. The bike was ace once we'd sorted the setup and Duarte set a great pace both up and down, while showing off more style than I could ever hope to possess - a great rider to follow, and the trails and locations WE visited were both stunning and tested my abilities perfectly. I was sore like hell the next morning, so big success.
With any luck I can come back another time and do the incredible singletrack here some justice.
A+, would escape from the miserable British winter again."

"Fantastic couple of days riding with Miguel and Hugo. The Sintra trails are a must see if you're in this part of the world, there's something there for riders of all abilities. These are definitely the guys to speak to for organising an unforgettable ride to suit your needs and you won't be disappointed with the rental fleet."

"I spent some time with Luis Pedro from WERIDE in Algarve this July and the tracks are amazing, as well as the tips and organization for the 3 rides WE did.
It was pure Enduro but possible to do with one AllMountain - I was riding a 26" Trek Remedy - and that helped a LOT the climbing at around 30 degrees CENTIGRADES!!!
That is something that gave me some thoughts when I flew back to Austria. If WERIDE had one driver shuttling us and Luis Pedro as a guide , the fun would have been tenfold due to the amount of descents increasing that much.
If you are planning to train for Enduro races, do it without shuttle and you will get the condition sweating in the burning Sun of Algarve ;-)
Side effect is that you get quite tanned, lol
I will be back for sure , but if I do it in the heat of the Summer I will be bringing a e-Enduro lol. Cheers!"

"Bom Dia!
Do your self a favor and book some riding with WERIDE. Great service, Great Trails, Great Value!!!
While planning a trip to Lisbon I looked into riding adventures in the area, did some research and WERIDE kept rising to the top. I planed to take my riding gear, shoes, riding shorts & jersey. I arrived in Lisbon, contacted WERIDE via the internet, with short notice for a trail ride in a beautiful mountain park called Sintra. They promptly responded and approved my request for a Friday morning ride. I completed the simple registration form. I rented a helmet and a bike (their equipment is in perfect condition).
WERIDE has an Adventure package for all skill levels, I'm an avid off road rider here in Florida USA but not use to long up hill climbs. My guide challenged me as well as understood when I needed to walk the bike up some hills. While walking WE spoke like long time friends and I learned about Portugal, it's beautiful and rich in history."
"My package lasted the FULL day of riding, with mountain top views like you've never experienced before, WE stopped for lunch in a small secluded town on the mountain (truly only locals) YUM!
After lunch WE started down the mountain to our final destination of the day, the Atlantic Ocean and a few well earned ICE COLD BEERS :)
It was truly my pleasure to spend the day with João & Miguel. Their passion for riding and promoting the natural beauty of Portugal made my trip, A Trip of a Life Time!
Thank you! (Obrigado)"

"WE booked a FULL day ride in Sintra and had a great day. WE enjoyed the trails, especially the Bridge trail. João told a lot of interesting things about the region. The lunch was tasty and the afternoon ended at the beach. Perfect! Thank you guys for the both challenging and relaxed day and great company. Cheers!"
