Amazing ride It deserves 2 passages ...
Route 103 in Northern Portugal runs from Braga in the West to Braganca in the East. About 200 kilometres of absolutely stunning mountain road. Traffic is generally light and the road surface, by and large, is excellent. Chaves, about half way, makes a nice stop off point and the opportunity to refuel self and bike. The western section is largely fast, open sweepers, the eastern has a lot more tight and twisty stuff. Ride it, you'll love it!
This route is usually the stage for the car rally named 'Rampa de Murça' which stands for 'Murças Shakedown' and its filled with good curves, whether you choose to do it downward or upward. My suggestion: do it both!
A great mountain road with wide corners and a good surface. The railings are even protected for bikers along the route.
The scenario is very good, circled by mountains that surround this region.
its a good road for RR bikes because have a fast corners, carefful whith police and not protect rails.
with rains some mud can be appear in the road.
