Event summary
The BTT Rota das Adegas returns for its 21st edition on November 9, 2025, in Torres Vedras, Portugal. Organized by the BTT section of Clube Académico de Penafirme, with support from the Municipality of Torres Vedras, this non-competitive cycling event celebrates both sport and the region’s cultural heritage.
The approximately 40 km course, with 600 m of elevation gain, takes riders through rural paths, forest trails, municipal roads, and public routes, highlighting the natural beauty and rich winemaking tradition of the Torres Vedras region. A key moment of the event is the visit to one of the area’s renowned wineries.
Designed for cyclists of all levels (16+), the BTT Rota das Adegas emphasizes a safe and enjoyable ride rather than competition. With a festive atmosphere, logistical support, aid stations, and community involvement, the event has become a beloved tradition for both local riders and visitors.
