Not really a dilemma...just wondering about the availability of used bicycles, and if this was an option anyone had taken.
Our thought was (only IF after walking a couple weeks it starts becoming evident an average 25k/day pace is unrealistic, and therefore need a way to conserve time) to buy cheap, used bicycles to use for ONE day to 'catch up', and then give them to a local 80 or so k's later...long before we start hitting the hills again we would be back on foot. While this seems like a decent Plan B to US, we don't know how feasible of an option it is in reality.....
I'm with you Laurie. After this year I am not even going to have a plan A in future just a jumping off point.
We definitely need to walk the last 200 km (Sarria-Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia) to get the compostelas
Don't bother buying a bike. You can rent them and drop them off down the trail in lots of towns. I met a guy along the way that had tendonitis and stopped walking and started riding and he could not believe the bike rental situation was so good. But this does bring up a concern I have (my fear not yours) about injuries. Feet, ankles, calves. etc. get pretty beat up along the way. Having had problems myself I can tell you that any can cut short or hold up your camino. Be mindful of your bodies, stretch out during and after your walks each day. See what pace fits both your bodies as you walk and then alter your plans as needed.Not really a dilemma...just wondering about the availability of used bicycles, and if this was an option anyone had taken.
It is 200km for riding a bicycle.you walked (Or biked or rode in a horse) for the last 100Km of your Camino
