Training 1
First trip on the road – 5km of freedom and feathers! 





Algarve Great Derby – Summer 2025
Hey hey, it’s Ringo back with a big milestone –
Today we had our first road training!
It was a short one – just 5 km – but a big step in the pigeons’ journey. 

More than the distance, it was about getting used to the trip:
a few hours in the baskets,
a calm drive to the release spot,
and that feeling of “where the heck are we?” when the baskets open. 

The release went smooth, and arrivals were steady, in big groups, just the way we like it.
But here’s the funny part:
After flying 75 minutes a day at home, today’s 5-minute flight wasn’t enough!
So instead of rushing into the loft, a lot of them stayed out, flying some extra laps just for fun.
(You know, to burn off the pigeon energy.
)

Next road training is now planned for Wednesday – and we’ll keep building from there.
Wings are on. Let’s go!
– Ringo
