We cycled Monday, male 66 hip replacement 6 months ago, female 52. Cold, windy but sunny. Carrying full paniers including tent and stove. Pushed maybe 3km. Took 6.5 hrs to camp site at urrobi. Touring bikes. Day 2 to pamplona easy on the road...
66 yr old with hip replacement last October setting off to cycle the camino frances in April. Knees are a bigger worry than hip. Will go and do what I can do.
I'm planning on buying a "Free Mobile" sim card in Paris. It is reloadable online. Service maybe be limited in Spain but we are heading back to France for a longer stay after the camino so I'm prepared to put up with the limitations on data...
