Biking the Camino is no Joke! | Camino de Santiago

    This video provides an inexperienced biker’s (Tara) perspective on cycling the Camino de Santiago in June of 2021. We biked La Ruta Francesa from St. Jean Pied de Port in France. Tara stopped biking at Logrono because the experience was too intense and not enjoyable. Prior to the Camino, Tara trained for 3 weeks, cycling 10-30 miles per day on a stationary bike in a gym. She also took a few spinning classes. This training was insufficient as we needed to cover 50 miles a day, half of which was up and down gravel mountain trails. The video provides Tara’s thoughts and sweeping views of what she saw while biking. Stay tuned for Chris’ (an experienced cyclist’s) perspective!

    1. I tried to get multiple travel agencies to help me plan a trip to Romania (Transylvania), but they outright refused. Especially since the bulk of it would be under a Romanian local company. But boy howdy did they try to push an island vacation.

      No, I dont want the tropics. I want to see beautiful forests and old castles.
