    Cycling Paris-Vezelay, SJPD -Burgos then Camino Levante backwards to Valencia-Albacete-Zamora to join Camino VDLP, Santiago-Camino Madrid backwards.

    Thanks Galloglaigh, I know that Velicipedo in SdC packs the bike up as I used him last year, but since Im flying out of Madrid just thought someone might know of a bike shop. However I never thought to use Correos so will keep that in mind. Thanks so much...

    Starting from Madrid by bike 19 April

    Sorry Redbike, Also if your biking the VDLP either ride tubeless or put slime in your tyres. I managed to get 5 punctures within 4 days (they have these prickly weeds that punctured my tyres) until I got to Puebla de Sanabrea where I went to see Ramiro at his bike workshop He was awesome and...

    Starting from Madrid by bike 19 April

    Hi ya Redbike, If your doing the VDLP it is another solitary one Im afraid. I met 6 cyclists along the whole route and really only saw them at different albergues. Not too many walking pilgrims and I think because the route is sometimes longer than a normal 30k day. I did it last September...

    Cycling Camino de Madrid - tips from my experience...

    Awesome, thanks for that. I looked on the Buen Camino app and figured that was where you went wrong. I also uploaded the Camino de Madrid guidebook on my phone which did mention the alternative path. I figure ill be taking the Green path for sure. Great to hear back. If I get time I will do...

    Awesome thread redbike. I am a kiwi bicigrina and starting this camino in September but backwards from SDC to Madrid. Hopefully it will be uneventful and rather drier then when you rode this camino. :)

    Cycling Camino de Madrid - tips from my experience...

    Thank you for your reply Dave. I have already done Portuguese and Frances walking and last year biked the Del Norte to SDC then Portuguese down to Porto and Via De la Plata back to SDC so being on my own shouldn't bother me too much. In fact I'll probably be looking forward to the solitude as...

    Cycling Camino de Madrid - tips from my experience...

    Hi Dave, I am intending biking this camino from Santiago via Sahagun to Madrid as I fly out from there. Do you think it could be hard doing this in the reverse. I will have travelled many kms by then as I am riding from Paris and taking in a couple other caminos along the way. Also wondering if...

    Cycling Paris-Vezelay, SJPD -Burgos then Camino Levante backwards to Valencia-Albacete-Zamora to join Camino VDLP, Santiago-Camino Madrid backwards.

    Hi, I am a kiwi coming over to start my camino from Paris starting on 29th August 2019. As you can tell I am incorporating a few camino's in one hit. I have 5 1/2 weeks to ride. Are there any other cycle Pilgrims riding these parts during this time. I am a fairly fit cyclist so my riding...

    Hope to cycle northern camino from Bilbao to Santiago and then onto Porto-Help needed

    Hi Cathy, I did both Camino's last year in September, where I started in San Sebastian. The Del Norte is wonderful but probably one of the more expensive for accomodation. I stayed in a lot of private accomodations and hostels where I found them to be less full and more bang for your buck...

    Camping in the Vezelay route

    Hello Jacques, thank you for the information. I think I may just ride the Chemin de Paris. Less hassle trying to get to Vezely. Hopefully it will not be too rough getting out of Paris to begin this Camino. Cheers Ingrid.

    Camino Frances Biking Tips from a Non Biker.

    Hi Martin. The VDLP weather was hot. It took me 9’days to ride the whole route but that is only because I had 10 days in hand to complete it. I downloaded the VDLP AND VDLP via Sanabreas app. Pretty much stuck to those routes but look if it says “cyclists use alternative route” then definitely...

    Camino Frances Biking Tips from a Non Biker.

    Hi there. The flight from NZ to Heathrow via Singapore was awesome. However it got difficult considering they lost my bike for 3 days from the airport in Madrid to San Sebastián. My flight out of Madrid was cancelled and I was out on a late flight to Pamplona where the bike did not turn up. They...

    Kiwi bicigrina VDLP.

    Hi Paladina. The killer hill was when we turned off into the National Park before Almaden de La Plata. We had to climb the Calvario hill then a good downhill into Almaden. Having just completed the Camino Del Norte and part of the Camino Portugese backwards into Porto with 14 other kiwi mates...

    Kiwi bicigrina VDLP.

    Hola. Well I thought I was going to be able to do a daily blog for those interested in my riding challenge, but the challenge has been too tiring to worry about up till now.
