Absolutely awesome experience!
I did two daytours with WERIDE guys. First one in Serra da Sintra, second one in Terras de Bouro. Massive variance in trail types in both locations, knowledge and tips on the trails spot on!
Also the Transition rental bikes right up there for the task!
Muito obrigado João Mourão & João Gomes! Muito prazer e até a proxima vez!

“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!”

"WE hired guides for two separate days with WERIDE. I am an experienced cross country/trail rider, and my 17 year old son is a novice. Out first guide José was terrific. He was a super nice guy and very knowledgeable about the area. He tailor made our ride to the hardtail bikes that WE had that day and WE hit mostly beginner/intermediate terrain. He took time to point out local landmarks and turned the ride into a part history lesson which WE liked. ( I'm sure he would not have continued if WE didn't seem interested). He was an excellent rider and gave my son pointers as needed. All around it was an excellent experience.
WE had so much fun on the first ride WE decided to hire WERIDE again for a second half day session a couple of days later. This time WE kicked it up a notch and rented full suspension enduro bikes through WERIDE. This was a great decision, the bikes were high quality and in mint condition. Our guide for this ride was Joao. He was also a highly skilled rider and guide and designed our day to suit the terrain WE were looking to ride. WE started off with a long downhill to the ocean. The ride started by van service dropping us at the top of the scenic hill (small mountain), so no uphill riding was needed to begin. Joao read my cues as I was the fastest rider in our 4 person crew. He rode in front always looking to see how much I was pushing him and kept in front just enough to keep me flying by the edge of my seat. It was an insane ride and one of the best and most scenic downhill runs in my life. Later WE did some true downhill switchback riding through the woods. Again I was pushing Joao pretty hard and I paid the price with a big head over the handlebars wipeout and plenty of blood to show for it. But he was on the case with his first aid kit and WE were back on the trail in a few minutes. My son and the other man on the trip had a great time as well and were able to ride at their own pace. I can confirm that even the most expert rider can be challenged by the terrain WERIDE has access to. They will customize your ride! Such a great group of guys and easy to work worth - scenery is amazing too! I couldn't recommend them more! Unless you brought your own top-notch bikes, I recommend renting theirs."

"If you are looking for a proper adventure ride with some amazing people, WERIDE is the answer. Their rides offer amazing, techy terrain on some of the best bikes in the industry, Transition bikes. The guides are knowledgeable, skilled riders, and the type of guys you want to hang out with day and out. I had just an amazing time that I’m already trying to plan my next trip with these guys. Bottom line - these guys know to start a party in the woods!"
