Bruno Freitas’ KOM on Avenida do Mar- Pico do Areeiro, Madeira looks under threat as I head off to Madeira. At least it WILL be under threat if I hire an e-Bike.

I’m probably going to have a crack at a few of the harder climbs on the island and I think that’s the most iconic one going from Funchal on the South Coast.
Similarly, Safa’s descent might be eclipsed if I can only manage to take my fingers off the brakes. Which is unlikely.

It’s an amazing place! My dream is to go live there after I retire. Or maybe one of the Azores Islands.
