Hi Sean,It's because of theses type of stupid questions that I reguarly abandon the forum.
If you are bringing your bike to Ponferrada by bus there is a gas station, Gestiones Cardez, very close to the bus station on the av. de la Libertad.

Hi Alan,Hi Nunzis
You could try the department store El Corte Ingles in Ponferrada not sure how big it is but the one in Pamplona had a full bicycle store with really helpful staff in it as I got some gear off them for my Bicycle and they normally open on a Sunday

Hi Nunzia, Its me who should apologise, I overreacted not realising that you had a problem. The other solution in these circumstances is sit down beside bike , I guarantee a fellow cyclist will stop to offer help within a very short time.Hi Sean,
i m really sorry if in some way i have offended you... or hurt you. it was not my intention, i hope that you ll enjoy your camino
have a good day

Hi ,
i just need to blow up the wheels ...
It is too late to help you now, but I always carry a bike pump, a pressure gauge and a CO2 inflator. Most people don't know how to use a CO2 Inflator, but if you try one at home, you will get the hang of it pretty quickly. I too have never been able to get those tiny pumps to work very well for a high air pressure. My heart goes out to you.....been there done that.
I have done a number of century rides and the most common problem I see other riders encountering is they get a flat. They only have a hand pump. The only get the tire pressure up high enough to ride. That results in a pinch flat in a few miles. They exhaust all their spare tubes and/or patching supplies pretty quickly from pinch flats. They beg tubes from others until someone helps them with either a "real pump" or a CO2 inflator to get decent air pressure in a decent tube. At least you know you need a real pump to get your pressure up.
I hope things turned out OK.
