    Bringing bike on train from Paris to SJPDP

    The Paris to Bayonne route does have spaces, but not many, around 2-3

    Bringing bike on train from Paris to SJPDP

    There's not that many bikes spaces on the Paris to Bayonne section, I think there are 2, maybe 3 spaces, so book now.

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    They're 1.9L bottles mounted to Salsa Anything Cages. The cages are held by 3 screws onto the fork (think of a normal bottle cage but bigger with 3 screws instead of 2). I had a general idea of the route, so only needed Google maps to not get lost, and gronze.com/via-plata to figure out where...

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    So sorry I didn't see this until now... My tardy replies: 1) I have my own "CX" bike, with 2 panniers at the back, and 2 big bottles on the forks (see picture). I boxed it in the UK, it flew with me to Seville as checked-in baggage, and at Seville airport I put it together and cycled into the...

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    UPDATE: all done! Well not quite because although I did cycle to SJPDP, my knee had began complaining a lot by then. I did SJPDP > Dax by train hoping a days rest would be enough, but the following day I knew the adventure had ended. I had to stick around Dax for 5 days waiting for the first...

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    I totally forgot about crazyguyonabike! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look to mirror roughly what they did.

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    Thanks for the advice, really good to know, it seems like I'll be able to use a lot of the "trail". I had also considered using some minor roads in case I got bored of the N630.

    Cycling along VDLP and beyond

    Hello everyone, Not that interesting a post, just to say that I've accumulated a lot of holiday over the last 2 years. My body and mind need to vent and recover, so in a few weeks I'll be cycling along the VDLP. Never done this route, and because I'll be taking panniers and 35mm tires, I plan...

    UK to Santiago by bicycle

    On city centres in Spain: I kept getting lost on entering Pamplona, but Logrono, Burgos, Leon, Astorga, etc were easy enough to enter and exit, and a shame to miss out on, especially since their main alberge municipal, which do accommodate bikes, are located in the historical centre. The Burgos...

    Easy/safe road routes first 7 days?

    Pages 2 to 11 of this guide (Camino de Santiago by Bike) appears to take you from Roncesvalles to Logrono on sealed roads 🥳

    Easy/safe road routes first 7 days?

    Just a heads up that, EuroVelo3 includes unsealed roads. For example, the route from Subiza to Biurrun

    Easy/safe road routes first 7 days?

    Excellent! Well in that case you may want to take the NA-1110 from Pamplona to Estella too. I haven't done this my self, but since it runs mostly parallel to the A12, it'll be super quiet. From the centre of Pamplona, head down to the University of Navarra in the south of Pamplona, jump on the...

    Easy/safe road routes first 7 days?

    You're starting from Roncesvalles? Because the climb up the main road from SJPDP is a leg breaker. The main road from Roncesvalles to Pamplona, the N-135, is smooth and relatively quiet. It's mostly downhill, but you can't hide from the climbs, such as the ~3km up to Puerto de Erro. No idea on...
