Dear all,
After a good new year's eve, in the company of very good people, it was sort of settled among some of the people that we would go to Carcavelos Beach on the next day for the first swim of the year. Imreally thought that would be just an idea (probably due to the large amount of alcohool consumed during the night), but in fact the idea proceeded on the next day! So, of course I would join! (If I really would go for a swim or just meet them on the beach on this winter day was something yet to be decided!)
People were gathering at Cais do Sodré to come by train, but I had a look at my bicycle in the morning (lets call 12h50 morning, ok?), and thought, why not cycle there? Afterall Carcavelos beach is only about 12,5 km away from home!

The jorney would take me along the river bank. Along the way I passed close to the reminder and countdown to the Lisbon's half marathon. I have 74 days to get ready for it!

Well, the weather was not looking nicer closer to the beach, but still I was enjoying this first ride of the year.

I arrived a bit earlier than the girls, so I seized for some more pictures and start to write this post.

Well, I indeed had the courage for the first swim of the year, quite cold indeed but nice. Inês also swam, maintaing the tradition ( already 2 years old one!!!). Maybe I will do it again, hopefully on the summer South hemisphere, ahah!

It was a nice program for the end of the day! Thanks for the invitation Inês!!
Cycling home was way faster, as I was cycling downwind!
Summary of the day:

- Time - 1h24m23s
- Average Speed - 17,37 km/h

That's all for now folks!
