Why would you want to?A new record has been established Mikel Azparren a Basque cyclist in just under 25 hours from Roncesvalles to plaza del Obradoiro. The previous record was in 27 hours.
Is anyone willing to try to break it?

Obviously the number of teasing quotes suggests that the topic is worth providing opinions other than "attaboys."I agree with Cambridge Pilgrim. This was an old thread resurrected just to make snarky comments. Please let's keep this a tolerant forum.
There is nowhere stated how a peregrino can do their Camino.
Sadly, the first thing people ask us when we tell them we had ridden the Camino de Santiago was "how many miles did you do each day?" The ride was never about that.
Did he even see a tree or a rock or anything of value on the way? oh well - each to his own, i'll stick to slow walking it.A new record has been established Mikel Azparren a Basque cyclist in just under 25 hours from Roncesvalles to plaza del Obradoiro. The previous record was in 27 hours.

Buen Camino!
Hola C_bridge Pilgrim - it is not a case of being dismissive (or jealous for that matter) it's just that IMHO the Camino is really meant to be experienced or enjoyed!? If some active person wishes to peddle from Roncesvalles to plaza del Obradoiro then that is up to them but it should be associated with the spirituality of the Camino (again IMO). So I will offer my congratulations to the cyclist for his physical efforts but not consider it a traverse of the Camino.Shame to see people being so dismissive of something that other people might see as quite an achievement and have an interest in.
It was obvious from the title what the story was about it. If it doesn't interest you then why read it, and why comment?
Good for him then, must have been a tremendous feeling of achievement for him at the end!!As I said before, this wasn´t his first Camino.
Ondo Ibili !
@MendiWalker , crazy avatar !Yes he had. First when he did his first Camino (like all of us peregrinos) and then again when he set the new record ( as any sportsmen ) .
Ondo Ibili !
It depends on just how far from the fridge you were, I supposeI set a new record yesterday for time from my easy chair to the refrigerator. Unfortunately, the Guinness record people don't have a category for that.
