I am planning to cycle Camino Norte in September from Biarritz.

I am planning the route at the moment and intend to use the Camino Norte Route but also mix it in with roads, lighthouses and other tracks.

Is anybody else planning to cycle in 2020 who would like to share route information?

Just be careful of Pilgrims and use a bell to let them know you are coming. Buen Camino

I have been riding a bike for nearly 60 years. What gave you the impression that I would not use a bell?

Three old men (including me) will be riding elnorte from Bilbao for 10 days in May. There will be a journal on CGOAB just search for 3skinnybikers or Camino del Norte you should find it. We took some routes from Wikiloc, loaded them in to Komoot and derived a route that way; no idea how much we shall actually follow.

Sadly, the majority of cyclists on the Camino do not use a bell, so the assumption is not unwarranted. Cheers to cyclists who use bells!

The three old Brits never made it, won't happen this summer, probably won't happen this year but hoping x 3 to ride during spring 2021. If anybody does get away this year I'm sure we'd all be interested to hear of your adventures - ride on.
