Where to leave motorcycle + gear whilst walking Camino Frances

[TheoCamino]

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to soon (end of May) start a new Camino chapter (Logroño - Leon). As the weather is getting nice, I would love to go to Logroño by motorcycle from my home (Belgium), and walk from Logroño to Leon (contrary to popular notions, I'm a very big lover of Meseta ;-) ). It's promising to be a nice adventure, but I'm a bit stuck on the transition between motorcycle and Camino. I was hoping any of you (especially experienced motorcycle adventurers!) could help me out!

1/ where could I leave a motorcycle for multiple days?
2/ where could I leave my motorycle gear for multiple days?
3/ after securing my motorcycle and my gear: I already figured out that I could get a passport at the municipal albergue and at the cathedral. But would I already be able to sleep in an albergue that night, given I will arrive in Logroño by motorcycle?

Any hints for any of the questions would be massively welcome.
Sending you much of love and excited to join the community again!
Theo
ps: I'm making a new thread because I could not find any related ones and google is of little help either...

This is just a guess but if you contact one of the private albergues or hotels in Logrono, you might be able to work something out.

There are also bicycle rental places that you might be able to work something out.

Or Instead of riding to Logrono, maybe leave your bike at a parking spot in Leon and your gear at an albergue/hotel.

As for your last question, you should be able to stay at an albergue in logrono but maybe not a municipal unless you pick up a credencial first. In sjpp, i was able to stay at an albergue the first night without a credencial but not sure about logrono.

Not all Albergues require you to be a pilgrim though in order to stay there. Winederful is a good albergue that allows non-pilgrims. Many private albergues allow it especially if you reserve a private room/bath.

Hope this helps with ideas at least. Buen camino!

Hello!

This is very good advice, thank you
I'm going to contact some private albergues / hotels to see if we can make a deal!
You're suggesting me to go to Leon - do you think I would have more luck there, compared to Logroño?
Have a good day!

I would make secure bike storage the first priority, and then look for helmet/gear storage at the same place.
Maybe take a bag to put the helmet in to save scratching the face screen in the luggage room? And I use two locks, one on each wheel, otherwise the bike can be moved like a wheelbarrow.
