Our off-road motorcycle adventure in Madeira with Mountain Gadgets was an adrenaline-fueled journey led by the skilled guide, Joao of Enduro Madeira. Our diverse group of riders, including Andy Mason on a 350cc Fourstroke Husqvarna, Ken Mansfield on a 300cc two-stroke Husqvarna, Tony Mcaleer on a 350 4-stroke, John Hayden on a 300 2-stroke, and Julian on a 300 2-stroke, tackled extremely rutted hills and challenging tracks, pushing heart rates to 174 bpm. The three days of riding encompassed a mix of terrains, from demanding hill climbs to exhilarating descents, and included navigating the tricky Madeira Ice. The grand finale—a perilous ravine crossing straddling the Aqua velum—added a thrilling climax to an unforgettable off-road experience in the stunning landscapes of Madeira.
