My daughter and I are biking the meseta. We're in Carrion de los Condes tonight, biking through Sahagun to El Burgo Ranero tomorrow. Our printed materials are very unclear on the state and difficulty of the Camino path vs paved roads for this section. We're tired, saddlesore and have some minor injuries, so easier is better on this long day! Any recommendations would help. Thanks in advance!

After Sahagun I took the Roman roads leading to Calzadilla de la Cueza and then cut across and walked to El Burgo Ranero. Not saying take that route, but an option, the roads are dirt roads, but good roads. That whole section Carrion de los Condes- El Burgo Ranero is long, flat and I saw a lot of flat tires. You are talking approximately 70 Kms with injuries on flat terrain. Start early, there is a Monument Mid-Point Camino Frances just before Sahagun. Don't miss it.
