# Preparation for ride

No cafes or shops in the mountain so please bring snacks and drinks for your riding autonomy (there are several places to refill water)

Sintra is famous for its strong microclimate. We always recommend to have wind/rainjacket. Even on summer days it can be chilly/windy and misty

Our rental bikes includes maintenance kit (spare tube, minitool, pump). We can provide miniback pack/hip pack. Avoid big bags on your rides.

*If you are looking for enduro MTB trails riding:
For MTB TRAIL focused navigation best to use Trailforks application with predowloaded maps. Please download maps to your device. Not much network in the mountain.
We will provide a lot of valuable info about current trail conditions. There is several places to refill drinkable water in the mountain.

Sintra have extremely strong micro climate that affects NORTH
WEST/MONGE PEAK NORTH side trails. Conditions can vary from super
dry/loose and dusty to extremely muddy without single drop of rain just massive mist that covers mountain.
