    Is it possible to cycle 200km in 5 days?

    Good afternoon Nazzynoodles. 200km in 5 days is a healthy distance. Very healthy. In my Camino France's guidebook I recommend cycling 50-60 km per day. If you cycle to work in London or regularly cycle over the weekend you will be fine. Ponferrada is a great starting point and important place...

    I'm so sorry for a late reply Gilmour. Everybody is different, but personally I wouldn't book anything. It will give you a freedom of staying whenever you will feel like staying on the day rather than where you booked beforehand. Both of the albergues in Cizur are opened in May, Pamplona's one...

    Hi Gilmour! There are two albergues in Cizur Menor. First one run by the Order of Malta doesn’t have designated space for bikes. It is very friendly place run by the volunteers, but rather small. The other one run by the Roncal family is very spacious. They have a lovely garden and space for...

    Hello Lizremedy! First things first - you do not need gpx files at all. Walkers follow yellow arrows, cyclists follow their guidebook;) - PDF with the route description only (no info on accommodation, sights, no travel writing) on the top of my web CYCLIST’S GUIDE TO SANTIAGO BY BIKE. E-BOOK TO...

    How to transport own bike back to home?

    They transport bikes back to Sweden and Norway, check if they are ok with Finland as well. Drop them an e-mail and if they don't we will find other way.

    Hi Barbara! I don't spent a long weekend at home, so I won't be able to help you with an accommodation in Santa Cillia. I have all camino books on the shelf at home. Jaca's albergue municipal is lovely, comfortable, spacious and not busy. Just don't leave your bike outside for the night -...

    Bike rental shop in Pamplona?

    ChrisMac I found on the Internet companies that specialize in renting bikes for the Camino. Just google "Camino by bike" "Cycling the Camino" or similar. I think that this is what you are looking foe. They charge around 300-400 Euros for bike rental. I never used any of those company, because I...

    hecate105 put cycling Camino Frances on top of your list. Paddling the Thames surely can wait.

    Online guidebook to the Camino by bike

    After everything you wrote, I will give e-bike a try one day. Cycling in 40 degrees is a challenge. I cycled in South of France in August. First time in my life I had my lips swollen from sunburn. Since then I know that I don't look good with big lips. One day I run out of water and I just...

    Thank you hecate105. The web was made to popularize the Camino Frances by bike. I cycled the Way one more time last year so it should be up to date. The guidebook itself is under CYCLIST’S GUIDE TO SANTIAGO BY BIKE. E-BOOK TO DOWNLOAD...

    Five punctures on one day...Unbelievable. What's a story Barbara. First time when I cycled the Camino I had standard Continental tyres, no punctures, no problems and life was beautiful until Galicia where my bicycle along with 6 or 7 others was damaged by vandals. The tyres of all the bikes...

    Good for you Barbara! I love Somport Pass and that amazing descent from Somport to Confranc❤ Which route are you taking in France? According to Spanish train website http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/info/bicicletas.html of course you can! But if you read it carefully it is Russian roulette. On...
