Otherwise I find couriers Seur (DPD outside Spain) to be good, MRW is good. From personal experience I avoid GLS. Then there is always UPS or DHL but are usually more expensive.
I hope so too. Things are getting better. Our lockdown easing has progressed to phase 2 now and I can cycle out any distance at any time from yesterday so long as I remain within the province. Fingers crossed we don't get a significant spike as we ease off. We have been fortunate with no cases...
Good plan. I found the early part of our lockdown the hardest. No outside exercise permitted. I used my old exercise bike on the patio but it's not the same. I used to put my tablet on the console and follow bikepacking tourists on YouTube on routes all over the world. It has eased now and we...
I'm sorry for the loss of your wife Michael. I hope you are able to make your new beginning nevertheless and can follow the camino very soon. Fortunately I live close enough to just up and go when conditions improve, jump onto a bus or train with my bicycle and go. Fingers crossed; it could even...

Thanks for that; very informative. I have a Thorn Sterling MTB with suspension fork and a Rohloff 14 speed internal gear hub so that sounds my better choice. I live in Spain and ride the Brompton quite a bit on gravel/dirt roads but not hilly. I will travel from Seville to León on the Alsa bus...
Has anyone cycled the León to Santiago section on a Brompton or similar small-wheeled folder? I have a Brompton H6R. Which route did you take? Any tips? I'm a regular cyclist.
