MessengerVII TOUR GAEIRAS
Event summary
The VII Tour Gaeiras is a non-competitive cycling event designed for all cycling enthusiasts. Taking place on October 5, 2025, in Gaeiras (Óbidos, Portugal), this tour invites participants to ride at their own pace over a scenic 85 km course. Rather than a race, it’s a leisure, cultural, and touristic experience intended for road, mountain, or tandem bicycles (motorized vehicles are not allowed). The route begins and ends at the village of Gaeiras with rider concentration starting at 7:30 AM.
Open to male and female cyclists of all levels, the event also includes a timed segment (approx. 4 km) known as the José António Vieira Stage, offering podium awards by category. While not a race, this segment adds an element of competitive excitement for those who want it. The event is limited to 250 participants.
