    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    Some have washers/dryers, some do not. Most all seem to have a place where you can hand wash and air-dry laundry. As far as washing goes, I've found that being flexible is necessary for me - I washed my clothes in the most convenient way available, sometimes taking the dirty clothing into the...

    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    I think that you have plenty of time for training. Think kilometers of training instead of just in terms of time left to train. I'd suggest trying for 300 km. of training. Build up your mileage and towards the end of training start doing back to back days - there's no magic formula.

    Route plan—help needed! (Bilbao, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port)

    Agree that 16:55 is probably too late to catch transport from Bilbao. Have you looked at taking train from Bilbao to Pomplona (4 to 5 hours, about US$30), and bus from Pomplona to SJPP (< 2 hours)? Not sure about accommodating your health issue, but you might try contacting some...
