    We are planning to cycle en route as well as doing alternatives and off piste to stay near the coast, and the views. Very much play it by ear when we're there.

    Cycling Norte - Stages

    hi Michelle, your video is amazing and very inspirational. We are planning to cycle the Norte May/June 24. Were your brakes discs or traditional and also I have read some of the latter parts are, and I quote; "very, very hilly". We will be on standard mountain bikes. Will we be ok?. Thanks
