Let’s Ride Portugal launches in 2025, but the real story is written in decades of throttle, grit, and dust. Our crew is a mix of lifelong riders, mechanics, and true locals who know these Algarve trails like their own backyard.
We keep our groups small—so the ride feels personal, the pace fits the riders, and every tour is dialed to the people who show up. Whether you come with friends or make new ones here, every trip is tuned as close as possible to your experience and appetite: easy-flowing tracks, hard climbs, wild views, and a bit of adventure for everyone.
Every guide rides with you—not ahead or above—making sure you get the best of the Algarve, no matter your skill level. And yes, we’re as serious about post-ride food and laughter as we are about finding the perfect line.
When the group gets bigger, we double up on guides: one up front, one sweeping the back. That means more support, more local wisdom, and yes—maybe a few stories from the race days (especially from Carlo and Danny, who’ve both seen more start lines than most).
This isn’t a racing school, but we know how to bring out your best—whether you’re a veteran, a rookie, or somewhere in between.
End of the day? Dirt on your boots, grin on your face, and at least one story you’ll want to retell.
Let’s ride.

André Hemker
FOUNDER
I’ve built companies, sold a few, and spent years navigating pressure, risk, and systems that often made no sense. These days, I trade boardrooms for backroads and find more honesty in a throttle than in a meeting.
Let’s Ride Portugal grew out of that shift. It’s not a retreat. It’s not about escaping. It’s about showing up—for the ride, for the land, and maybe for yourself. There’s dust, challenge, laughter, and just enough silence to hear what really matters.
I’m not here to lead from above. I ride alongside. I listen. I share what I’ve learned.
And I believe that sometimes, all it takes is one good line through rough terrain to remind you who you are.
