    Combined biking/walking camino

    Can you say more about riding with walkers and keeping pace (mostly) with them? I'm going with two friends in September but a slow healing ankle injury limits how far I can walk in a day so I'm going to bike while they walk. Our plan is to do the central Portuguese route and the spiritual...
