Climbing into Galicia
There must have been some serious engine power behind that stone boat too! An eight day passage from Palestine to Galicia takes some doing even now!- Gerry Callaghan

Climbing into Galicia
Two old codgers from Ireland, Gerry and Felicity, were cycling, slowly, up the mountains into Galicia. We had started in Bayonne, had done the Nive to St-Jean, then the Camino Frances and were now ready to cross the last province boundary. The scent of the botafumeiro was getting stronger every...- Gerry Callaghan

O Cebreiro by bike, how tough is it....?
Hmmm..... It might be tricky to get to Roncesvales over the Via Napoleon that evening if you only arrive at SJPdeP at 3pm. I'm not saying it's impossible but everything will have to work perfectly, you will have to rush and you will likely miss the evening meal in Roncesvales. On the climb to...- Gerry Callaghan

O Cebreiro by bike, how tough is it....?
Hi Martin, I stated from SJPdeP on 29th April and finished very early in the morning of 12th May, so that means a total of 13 days cycling for the camino section. I did not take any day off cycling until I got to SdeC. It would be possible to shave another two days off the trip, I got...- Gerry Callaghan

O Cebreiro by bike, how tough is it....?
I had nothing bike-specific by way of maps. The Brierley guide to the Camino Frances provided all the information that I needed. Leon is a great start, you are on to nice meseta dirt roads almost immediately. The climb to O Cebreiro is great as is the descent all the way to Sarria. There are a...- Gerry Callaghan

Shuttles or buses that take cyclists and their bikes
18 days allows plenty of time to cycle Pamplona to SdeC. I did SJPdP to SdeC in 12 days on a loaded touring bike in May. In Galecia, Monbus transport bikes with the front wheel removed. Alsa, the long distance bus line, will also transport bikes if they are in a bike bag. I don't know about...- Gerry Callaghan

O Cebreiro by bike, how tough is it....?
In April/May 2015 I cycled from Clonmacnoise in Ireland to Finnistere. My camino section ran from Dax, outside Bayonne, along camino Frances to Santiago de Compostello and then on to Finnistere. Hope you find these notes useful. You can find out all the non-bike stuff in a standard guidebook...- Gerry Callaghan

O Cebreiro by bike, how tough is it....?
If the walkers path was a nice dirt road I took that. If it was a bad rocky surface I took the road. The O'Ceberio walking path is alongside the road for quite a distance. Almost all the traffic has moved to to the A6 motorway so there is no traffic worries. Don't even think about taking a...- Gerry Callaghan

Nothing to worry about. Take it easy, walk if you have to. I did Villafranca del Bierzo to Triacastela on a loaded touring bike in 6 hours last May. Had to take a break to allow the brake blocks to cool down on the descent!- Gerry Callaghan
