  • It's your honeymoon.
    Just eat, drink and shag yourself senseless. Forget about bicycles.

    Swimming in the sea is fun though.

  • Eating and shagging is a yes. Partner is due a baby in October though so no drinking for her, and I've gallantly/stupidly said I'd stay sober in support. I do like swimming in the sea, and we're in Lisbon so that should be possible.

    I think I'll take my running shoes and swimming gear and see what happens.

  • Someone on here went mountain biking in Portugal recently, it looked amazing. Do a morning or two of that, whilst other half has a relax by the pool.

  • Ah Lisbon, my gf just got back from a long weekend there, she loved it!

    Swimming indeed then. I love swimming in the sea, so liberating and refreshing.
    And andy makes a good point about hiring a MTB and exploring.

    But yeah, rest is a good thing. Take the time to chill and relax. You body will appreciate it and you'll feel great when you get back. You've a big summer and lots of training to do, so a rest now will be good.
    After my exams (end of May) I'm going to Italy for 5 days, no bike. Just total relaxation. The body needs time off.
