    Booking bike friendly hotels, luggage transfers, for nine people involves a lot of work and coordination. Also I am not sure if I can do it as well as the operators can. Not to mention the support they give you en route. Happy to compensate them for that. Thank you for the thought.

    Cycling Camino Portugues Coastal. Porto to Santiago de Compostela Jun-Jul 2023 Our small group of four has grown to nine people. I was comfortable organizing accommodation, bike rental, and luggage transfer for four. With nine people on board I would like to give it to professionals. I am aware...

    Cycling Camino Portuguese (coastal variation) + Camino Spiritual

    @Skinnybiker @Flatlander, Thank you for your technical tips, but above all for the "depth of perspective" you provided. My typical riding is a mix of asphalt and gravel trails in Ontario, Canada. For navigation I use Garmin Edge® 1030 in conjunction with the Garmin Connect platform. For...

    Cycling Camino Portuguese (coastal variation) + Camino Spiritual

    @Skinnybiker @Flatlander thank you for your valuable comments. The original GM cycling route recommendation from Pontevedra to Vilanova de Arousa (attached) took me very close to what I think the walking path is. Looking at your journal @Skinnybiker cycling the walking path was indeed...

    Thank you for chiming in. I understand the sensitivity of this subject to the walking pilgrims. I think there is a validity to their concerns. I am happy to consider any and every feedback anyone will provide. With thanks, Thomas

    Cycling Camino Portuguese (coastal variation) + Camino Spiritual

    Nick, what you pointed out makes a lot of sense. I am planning to ride "light" mostly paved roads, on a gravel bike, as the costal route south of Pontevedra is rather easy. My setup likely will not be the best for the challenges of Water and Stone Route around Combarro. There is still the boat...

    Cycling Camino Portuguese (coastal variation) + Camino Spiritual

    Thank you for the tips and resources. Our preference will be to stay as much as possible on asphalt. First for the ease of travel, and second to avoid interrupting walking pilgrims. I am thinking of renting gravel bikes. 34-39 tires should keep us stable and comfortable. The intent is to carry...

    Cycling Camino Portuguese (coastal variation) + Camino Spiritual

    I am organizing our first Camino for two couples, age mid to late 50s, all regular cyclists in a fairly good shape. We decided on Camino Portuguese (costal variation) from Porto to SC. Based on YouTube videos and other readings I came up with the itinerary below. Instead of going directly from...
