Wondering which of the several routes between these two towns is best for cycling. It looks like taking the N-VI would be the least steep, although a little longer than some other routes. I figure we'll be walking our tandem bike a good part of the way no matter which way we go!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Yes. You will. Though the published route should be fine provided your 'stoker' is doing their job ;0)

Unless the herd of cows would come from the opposite direction in that typical Galician dug-in-path ;)

I haven't researched alternatives. The N6 goes where you're going by the shortest viable route for a tandem from what I can see on the usual sources. Sometimes the Camino just sets bumps in our way; all we have to do is ride over them.

I rode the N-V1 on this part of the route last year with a few other bikers and it was almost deserted because the A6 runs parallel. Not sure if you can take a bike on the A6 because it is a motorway. Its a long hard climb, I think it took me about 3 hours to get to O'Ceb.

You can ride on them. A's and AP's are forbidden for bike riding/walking/hitchhiking etc.

PS (N in N-V1 stands for National and it's not highway in European meaning.)
