Hi,
This is my first post. I'll be riding the Camino Frances this year with a friend who has wanted to follow this path for some time. We've got good outdoor experience and habits, have been known to carry more junk off a trail than onto it, to help others and be helped in return, acheive and fail on route. I look forward to some random dinner time conversations and meeting intersting people
We're aware it might be busy in places and the need for consideration of others on the route. We're not looking for downhill thrills and will have bells, smiles may vary with fatige levels ) I'm a walker too and my local riding area is in the Chilterns.
I think cyclists have 2nd priority at the hostels and we're happy to bivvy out and go off-route. Can anyone offer any pointers on diversions off the Camino into areas of interest to a mountain biker, places where bikes might be putting pressure on the Camino that we need to be aware of, local attitudes toward bivvis, any hostels where bikes are welcome that we shouldn't miss out?
Thanks
James
