II have only walked it. And most sections would be OK on that type of bike. But what would you do when you can't use the bike because of terrain? I presume a normal bike is hiked up on one shoulder, or pushed along. But a recumbent? Just trying...

IIMHO, I found the VDLP more than a good challenge on a mountain bike. Although there were many good/easy riding sections, I’m very glad to have had a MTB due to the mud that I had to travel through on numerous occasions. Those sections were tough...

IiMac23 replied to the thread Via de la Plata - Recumbent...?.Thanks, Alex - really helpful to hear a 1st hand view. Thanks, those pictures are really helpful. Other than the stepping stones, and the bridge (?!) it looks very possible. Might just need a wee detour in places.
