Any idea if the Italians are typically on road or mountain bikes in March?
I could still flip back to my road bike if it's better this time of year, though I do look forward to spending time on offroad trails away from the traffic.
Do you think the trail from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles and onward might be passable on a mountain bike as early as next week? I'm adventurous, but had mostly ruled out the Pyrenees so I don't get stuck in non-ridable snow.

Safety is a top priority and I'll probably mount two blinking tail lights for the busy road sections. Most of the walking path is ridable, right? Any idea how much cycling would be path vs. road?
My work situation recently changed and last week I booked a flight into Madrid arriving Feb 22 and out of London on March 9. I would like to cycle some portion of the Camino and could use some quick advice.
My cycling experience in a nutshell:
