    BYOB (bring your own bike) trip planning for July 2019

    Save a few days & fly into Biarritz via CDG, and then a shuttle to SJP. This will add a few more days for riding & enjoying the adventure. My one regret is I was to focused on time & finishing. This is typical for any first trip. My next trip I will take much more time to smell the roses...

    What Is The Most Useful & Usless Item You Packed

    Most Useful: Zip Ties. Rack slipped & pivoted 90 degrees. Zips worked great. Note the blue zip routed around the cable guide, hence keeping the clamp from slipping back. Most Useless: UE Boom Portable Speaker. Never used it. Visions of a party on the road?

    Mature couple cycling the Camino

    I agree with Francisco.Only plan 1 or 2 days out max. Take your time. If it’s only a 20 mile day, so what. Be spontaneous. Change plans on the fly if something intrigues you. Don’t let others guilt trip you into walking or riding a set number of miles. Do “your” Camino. Great that your wife...

    Biking SJP to Santiago Observations

    Riding the napolean route is tough. Being the 1st day didn't help. Had good weather then. No crowd except after Sarria. Then the vibe changes a bit. I biked the few miles (by mistake). I just kept it it low gear & followed behind the masses until trail crossed my road route. When the walkers...

    Biking SJP to Santiago Observations

    i just finished the route on my 15 yr old cannondale jekyl, panniers & panaracer knobby tires. Observations: Initial plan was riding the walkers route starting with the napoleon. Bad idea. Mostly hike & bike. Never saw 1 other rider. Hiker said they saw 1, but with no luggage. Books said 15%...

    Coruna to LAX, Delta /AF with bike?

    Is the commuter connection plane from Coruna too small to handle a bike? If so I guess the nearest large airport is Madrid?
  12. Wayne of LaVerne

    Bike Transport from L.A. to Biarritz & Santiago De Compostela/ Coruna to L.A.

    I am flying Delta in May. Any tips or tricks? Maybe ship it ahead as freight? Any Santiago bike shops that can box bike for trip back, or where I can buy a box to repack it? The main delta flight should be able to handle the oversize box, but can the short leg using a partner airline (air...
