MessengerX São Silvestre BTT ARCBT
Event summary
The X São Silvestre BTT ARCBT is a mountain bike group ride scheduled for December 20, 2025, in Bairro da Tabaqueira, Rio de Mouro, Portugal. This event features an approximately 18 km route of medium-low technical difficulty, combining rural paths and some asphalt.
Open to all cyclists aged 12 and above, the ride welcomes both individual participants and groups, with no competitive ranking as it is an informal, non-competitive cycling tour focused on camaraderie and enjoyment of the nighttime landscape and heritage. The event is organized by the Associação de Recreio e Cultura Bairro da Tabaqueira and the local parish council.
Participants will experience a friendly and festive atmosphere, including pre-ride socializing with hot drinks and traditional treats, a guided ride starting at 18:00, and a post-ride dinner featuring caldo verde and pork on a spit. The event also includes awards for largest male and female teams and best attire, making it a vibrant community celebration beyond a simple night ride.
