- Road Book 2020: Cycle tourism maps and GPS tracks for cycle touring in Portugal.

The National Cycletourism network is a project designed by a portuguese road project engineer and cycle touring enthusiast, whose goal is to signal a nationwide network with the best  roads for bike touring in Portugal. The "National Cycletourism Network - Road Book 2020" consists on a digital PDF document with the most beautiful secondary and low traffic roads in Portugal, identified exclusively by GPS.

The Road Book 2020 is a guide, fully written in English, exclusively in digital PDF format (no paper version) that takes you along the most beautiful secondary and low traffic roads in Portugal, identified exclusively using GPS (no need for vertical signaling).
