You don’t have to be a trained athlete to enjoy one of our cycling adventures. Our cycling routes and options range from laid-back-easy to challenging. A little bit of saddle fitness is all you need. We also offer e-bikes on almost every route to back you up on the steep spots! Cycling is a great way to cover more ground in less time. Typical average distances per day are between 40-60km. This is no more than 3 – 4 hours in the saddle. Enjoy the landscapes with its varied terrains without spilling too much sweet. As usual, we will transport your bags and secure your accommodation. Travel in style! It’s memorable fun.
How does a Cycling Camino work?
We will consult with you early in your Camino planning to understand your cycling needs and wants. A shortened list of the choices is as follows:
- Small, Medium or Large Bikes,
- Mountain Bike Standard or Premium,
- E-bike with 70-90km or 110-130km range.
All bikes have front shocks with hard-tails and the pedals are dual-platform (one side for clip-on and the other for normal shoes).
Your selected pre-booked bike will wait for you at your first hotel. When you arrive at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela at the end of your journey, you simply return the bike to the rental company’s offices, a stone’s throw from the Cathedral.
Customarily, each bike comes with a pannier rack (which can hold 15kg), bottle holder, bell, safety retro-reflectors and a bicycle lock. Additionally, the pannier rack incorporates a tool kit containing: an extra tube, pump, bike multi-purpose Allen key, pedals key, tyre levers and a patch kit. Extras such as helmets and daily break-down assistance can be added. Yes, for sure. You must be able to repair a puncture or chain-slip.
