Thank you so much Bala! I believe that Internet is the best place to popularize the Camino, isn’t it?Great resource. I'm not a cyclist, but the history and general information would be applicable to any pilgrim.
Nice website. Just to get things started I dropped in a little opinion comment on your piece about bikes on the Camino
Thank you for this resource. I am enjoying reading it. I like your style, written and attitudinal! Cycling off into the middle distance till those looking incredulously can’t see you anymore, then falling off and walking again!
You are welcome. I have forwarded the link to my niece’s husband, a keen cyclist.Thank you, Kirkie so much. As I wrote in the introduction – there would be no glory stories about my lonely journey across Northern Spain…
Hola MikeHola @Kat, on behalf of cycling pilgrims I thank you. I knew that CSJ had a publication, but had not seen any updates. Thanks again & cheers. M
Thanks i was just hoping to have the gps as a guide since reading and cycling are mutually exclusive activities. Im sure we will figure it out....being our first camino and first cycle, we are just trying to be prepared.Hello Lizremedy! First things first - you do not need gpx files at all. Walkers follow yellow arrows, cyclists follow their guidebook- PDF with the route description only (no info on accommodation, sights, no travel writing) on the top of my web
CYCLIST’S GUIDE TO SANTIAGO BY BIKE. E-BOOK TO DOWNLOAD
PDF is a pure route description with maps, elevation profiles and info when you should cycle the Camino and when you should cycle the roads. You can download or print it out.
I know the Camino by heart so the route as I describe allows a good mix of the Camino and roads – the cycle-friendly parts of the Camino and the remote and beautiful cycle-perfect roads. I always bring the cyclist back to the important Camino moments.
It is very practical - you won't have to pull it out of his pannier every 5 minutes.
Albergues, photos and detailed cities and towns descriptions you will find on web in the "Cyclists' Guide" section. In the evening check the stage you will cycle the next day.

Although it is written with cyclists in mind also walkers may find it useful as it covers the history of the Camino, provides all important information for those preparing for the Way, guides to the churches, cathedrals, cities, towns, and villages on the Camino Frances. Never mind the individual guide to the city of Santiago de Compostela. All on your smartphone. Buen Camino!
By the way, the author first walked the Camino, missed the Way, so cycled it numerous times... Sounds familiar?
