Hi all
Just back from my 7th Camino. This was the first time I cycled from St Jean; previously I started in Roncesvalles, Pamplona and once Seville. Every year I said this is my last time - until I was back home in Ireland and rested!
As always I was intrigued by Dutch and German pilgrims who started from their own front doors.
Over the years I have transferred from the road to the path as I find it much more inspirational and friendly.
I love off road on the bike.
Last year I completed the Via Francigena to Rome from Canterbury. It was wonderful but in truth nothing compares to the Camino Frances. It keeps drawing me back.
I am thinking of starting in France next time, maybe in Cluny to Le Puy. Does anybody know if this route is suitable for off road cycling? If not is it possible along country roads?
I have toyed with the idea of starting in Holland but the route along western France doesn't appeal to me as it looks pretty flat and less interesting.
Love to get some feedback.
