- Type of Terrain: - Asphalt - Good condition
- Description of Terrain:  SP-088 has no shoulder, but the asfalt in good condition and I felt pretty safe riding on the road. Few cars, and they don´t go very fast. The descent to Caraguatatuba was great, lots of speed traps and car slower than 40km/h. On Rio-Santos (BR 101), the shoulder can be great and terrible, but riding on the road at times isn´t bad at all. There is nos shoulder on the climbs and descents, as one more lane opens up for cars to go up, but it´s not a problem, mas there are many turns and cars can´t really go fast.
