This mission transits from the vicinity of Chaves, Portugal, a region characterized by rolling hills and fertile valleys, to the plains surrounding Montemor-o-Novo. The corridor between these zones presents a varied terrain profile, moving from the high ground of the north to the more open, expansive landscapes to the south. Technically, this route is a sustained elevation grinder. Operators can expect prolonged climbs interspersed with brief, spirited descents, demanding consistent effort. The speed profile indicates sectors of moderate pace punctuated by periods of sustained exertion, reflecting the challenging topography. This route demonstrates that Portugal is effectively a giant, very long, uphill obstacle course.
