First, you're not alone in your impulse . . .. . . today I was so close to sticking my pole in their spokes that it frightened me.
I am not certain about the guide to the Camino Francés, but the other CSJ guides give the alternative routes where needed for cyclists. You could contact CSJ (UK) to ask and for advice, or send for the guide(s) anyway.I understand that there are bike routes that do not exactly follow that path that I can use to go around those narrow places. Do you know anything about that? It is part of the reason I am limiting my distance per day so I can go back an go around if I get stopped by conditions.
Thank you,
Marian
A penalty for me would be loosing one of my poles. But it was oh so tempting a few times. Once I came within an inch of accidentally doing it when the second biker came whooshing by just as I was regaining my balance and moving back into the path.Are some Mamils (Middle aged men in Lycra) dangerous to pilgrims? To day while walking between Fromista and Carrion on that long straight path that runs along the road, which has a cycle lane we were almost run over by 4 or 5 groups of cyclists on the pilgrim path on one occasion, on he only hill on that road, they never gave any warning and whilst doing in excess of 20mph scattered pilgrims everywhere on the hill. I have helped cyclists several times this trip, but today I was so close to sticking my pole in their spokes that it frightened me. What is the penalty in Spain for sticking you pole in someone's spokes?
