Joined: 31 Dec 2012 Posts: 3 Bike: | After tackling Lejog last year I've decided to go for a sunnier ride this year. So I'm planing to start in Bilbao and head to Cherbourg. I'm planing on about 90 miles a day and staying in accommodation rather than camping. Any advice, maps/ routes or accommodation advice would be much appreciated. Logistic and bike transportation was the most difficult part of last years expedition, so I'd like to get ahead of the game this year. Cheers in advance Read more at http://www.cycle-route.com/forum/General-Chat-Bilboa-to-Cherbourg-ride-in-June-13-Thread-4763.html#GkRm4Z2ykK8o1CWm.99 |

I took the ferry to Santander from Plymouth and planned cycling to Cherbourg. However, with family living near to St Malo, I returned to the UK from there after spending a few rest days with family. The Spanish days were very challenging but by far the best part of the trip. The west of France is very flat, very straight roads and many scrubland views. I wrote a blog here if you want to read more, I wish I'd gone a bit more inland instead of hugging the coastline. http://tc-cycles-spain-and-france-2012.blogspot.co.uk/ Very good luck with the trip, I have some Garmin GPX files recorded from the journey if you'd find them of use.

I would recommend you get activated SIM for France as its easier than going over and getting on activated took me 4 days of visiting Orange unhelpful shops but for €10 you get unlimited data for a month This with Nav Free and Google will assist in not having to carry maps and also good for finding accommodation and food. Otherwise good luck |
