The importance of good hydration

Portugal is internationally acclaimed for its abundant sunshine and mild temperatures, which grace the central and southern regions throughout the year.

When embarking on your bike tours, prioritizing adequate hydration is paramount. We strongly recommend consuming a minimum of one 600 ml bottle of water per hour. While water alone may suffice for more leisurely tours, we highly encourage supplementing your hydration with natural mineral salts, particularly for road bike programs. Dehydration not only impairs your performance during the tour but also poses potential health risks.

In O-BIKE's Premium Programs, we are committed to providing all essential supplementation at no additional cost. Our knowledgeable guides are dedicated to ensuring that you lack nothing, be it in terms of proper hydration or food/supplementation. However, if you opt for a self-guided program, we urge you to exercise special vigilance in this regard, especially when exploring Portugal during the hotter summer months.
