    Type of bike to rent?

    Cycling from Bilbao

    I did not take the signposted walking route. Instead, I cycled on the main road which often runs parallel to the walking route. Those main roads still had Camino signs and warning to drivers to be aware of Camino walkers and cyclists on the road. It is very safe to ride. Drivers are used to...

    Why multiple times on the CF?

    Right now, I am cycling the Camino north route from Bilbao. I am hopeful of reaching Santiago in few days. I am cycling in my own. I have seen many walkers along the way. I must say that I have already decided that I will do another route, perhaps French or Portuguese soon preferably as a group...

    Cycling from Bilbao

    I decided to write my experience here because I found it very difficult to find reasonably practical information about cycling the Camino. I reached Santona by about 3pm. Now the Spanish restaurant opening times are not so compatible with eating habits of a touring cyclist. I would like to have...

    I am cycling from Bilbao to Santiago, in September. Dates are fixed as I have already booked my flights. I am a fairly experienced touring cyclist but do not do camping. I cycle at a slow to moderate pace about 60-80 km a day as I want to enjoy the scenery and chat with people and taste the...

    Cycling in September

    Thanks for your interest. My plan was to go in early September, perhaps on the 8-10 the September and return about 20th. We should be able to do 600 km in 8-10 days. If those dates are fine, then we can start to plan the route and accommodation. I like to pre book accommodation.

    Cycling in September

I have reasonable experience in cycle touring. I take my own bike, travel light, usually stay in hotels/ B and B overnight, no camping or food...
