Hi Helen,
I had initially planned to ride EASY and enjoy the trip. I had planned for a max of 50k per day. I stuck to the first 4 stops of my plan....Ville FDX, Valada, Azinhaga, Tomar. I followed the WisePilgrim route for the most part.

Thanks for that tip, p2000. I will get the stamp during the 3 day stay there. The walk-around Lisbon seems very interesting but unfortunately not for me. My wife has a condition that makes it unable to walk for long stretches, which is also why she goes home while I do the camino on my own.
I am FINALLY on my way to bike from Lisbon.(currently holidaying in Spain before caminoing). Phew! 35deg in Madrid today
I will be starting from Lisbon (with a rental bike) on 6th Sept, approx 9 days to Porto at an easy pace of max 50k per day.
I will be staying at a hotel in downtown Lisbon...
Thanks so much. That's encouraging news. Please keep me informed of your progress, especially if you encounter some terrain which may be TOO challenging for a biker. Bon Camino!

I am planning to ride from Lisbon, starting approximately Sept 1, 2022. I would rent a bike from Bikeiberia in Lisbon.
I envisage an easy paced 40k per day
Any tips on the best route to follow (I would definitely prefer non-tarmac roads) and accommodation along the way would be much appreciated...
