[QUOTE="saltytraveler, post: 567130, member: 75919"] Hey there, I'm looking to mountain bike el camino del norte/primitivo possibly in September of 2018. I liked the path taken by these bloggers [URL='http:// http://www.travel-video.photos/index.php/mountain-bike-trips/mountain-bike-the-camino-santiago/camino-de-la-costa-del-norte-irun-santiago-de-compostela/']here[/URL]. Basically I would love to mountain bike on trails as much as possible, though I realize the pavement will help me gain some mileage here and there. I'm attracted to the scenery of the northern route. It seems like this northern route might be a little more confusing with more options and a little less straight-forward than the Frances? It seems like every YouTube video I watch of el camino del norte, it looks like people are going slightly different ways (or maybe just editing out different parts of their videos.. haha...) Any tips on planning and staying on the correct path? I have seen that most people are completing this route in 11 days or less. I'm in great (I feel... haha...) physical condition so I feel like I should be able accomplish that but I've heard this route is a little harder. One of my biggest concerns is that I plan on arriving to Spain alone from the USA. I love traveling alone and having the opportunity to meet new people and be able to do my own thing. I'm not particularly afraid of traveling alone and I speak (Latin American) Spanish. But I would love to deliberately connect with other people who are planning on completing the same route on a similar schedule.... maybe people from all different places? I also think with cycling, I'm maybe more prone to accidents off the beaten path and I would love to be in a group for the "safety in numbers" factor. I would love to go in September but other than that I'm pretty flexible on specifics. I'm fine with renting a bike and using maps, etc. and I don't want to spend the money on a guided tour... just would love to find a group to tag along with... or create a group! Any thoughts where I might be able to connect with others in the same boat? Either I could find a group to connect with or create one? Thanks for your thoughts! [/QUOTE]
