Crossing sands dunes from Peniche to Ericeira

So I've rain, winds, hills and a combination of all three. To add the list is vineyard gravel trails, dirt paths and now sand dunes. I thought it would be a great idea to miss out a big part of today's journey by take a local short cut, as told to me by a group of local mountain bike riders. They did look at me a bit weird thou. So the first part was a hill. Then a dirt path along the top of a cliff. This then turned in to gravel path which farmers use to water their grape vines and not forgetting pushing a 45 kilo bike thru 200 metres of sand dunes. So much for short cuts. To top it all the last 2 miles into Ericeira was pure punishment of hills. I'm still smiling..
