RIP 2016
My normal walking campanion, Camino Bob, is thinking of cycling the Levante at the end of March 2012. He is an experinced long distance cyclist and has already done the Frances from St Jean (in 5 days). He has a super light weight carbon fibre bike and so will be sticking to ashphalt. He travels very light and normally does between 100km and 200km per day, depending on the terrain and wind conditions. What is the weather like on this route in March (i.e. how cold and wet)? Is there a cycling guide that anyone can recommend that recommends ashphalted routes? Can anyone recommend how the days might be broken up? He'll be staying in albergues (if he can get in) and hotels. He has a good job, so staying in hotels isn't a problem (but it does make life easier if they are bike friendly).
We met Johnnie Walker when we picked up our credenciales for the Primitivo in August. He had just walked the Levante and recommended the guide produced by the Amigos del Camino in Valencia, so I've just ordered this.
Camino Bob doesn't speak Spanish, so an English guide would be best for him. I speak Spanish and could translate info from websites for him before his departure. 200 km a day on a bike is not my idea of a good time, so he is doing this alone.
Buen Camino
