- Camino Francis -May 2016 by bike---Loved it
....Last year while on the steep descent from Cruz de Ferro to Molinaseca, a Polish pilgrim in his 60's cycling the Camino went off the road on his bike near El Acebo and was killed....
Since I will bicycling this, I was wondering about the details. Higginson warns that El Acebo with its cobblestones and gutter in the center of the road is deadly. However, carefully reading your post, it sort of sounds like he may have been taking the road (not the trail) down from Cruz de Ferro and not been able to control his speed or bike. Any further details would be appreciated.
Yes, the loss of any life is a sadness.
