[QUOTE="Former member 92300, post: 1114654"] There are people who rent bikes in Burgos and drop them off in Leon. That said - if people aren't used to long distance biking - even though it is the Meseta and "mostly" flat - I have seen people report it was much harder than they thought it would be. Especially when you do have a big climb or are riding against the wind. Norte is beautiful - but tons of up/down. How are your knees? Norte isn't ideal if you have knee issues. And you probably already have a Compostela, is it important for you to get another one? If no - you can start at the "beginning" (Irun or SJPDP) and walk until you run out of time. Or if you want the Compostela - then you can start about 10 or so "stages" from Irun or SJPDP so you can make it all the way to Santiago. If you do want to rent a bike - I say stick to the Frances. I wouldn't personally want to bike on the Norte. Too many hills, and too many road walking/biking stretches. But that is my personal preference. An experienced long distance biker probably loves the Norte. [/QUOTE]
