Hi there,
I need some opinions from people who have previously cycled the full duration of the Camino de Santiago.
Basically im 28 years old (in decent shape generally, but not in terms of cardio) and im wanting to cycle the full thing on the 30th of March this year, but I fear that it might be out of reach until later this year. Basically ive not ridden a bike for knocking on 13 years now and ive just decided to get back into mountain biking as I used to really enjoy it throughout my youth. Due to not riding for so long my endurance and fitness levels are not on par, so I have 2 months to get on a high level of fitness. The objective is for me and my friend to do it in 13 days of cycling so roughly around 40miles/65km per day. Its a brand new bike so im not broke in yet on the saddle either.
Would you say this is at all possible for me to do or would you say im really pushing my luck hoping to get on a good enough endurance level within 2 months?
Im considering possibly waiting till oct/nov 2010 but my mate may not be able to join me at that time so ideally I want to do it at the beginning of this coming April.
Any opinions from ones who have previously completed the journey on a bike would be priceless
Many thanks
tom
