From what I've read, the trail over the mountain north of Ponte de Lima (Portela?) is not suitable for cycling. Has anyone tried the N 201 or some other alternate route?
Have you tried looking for GPS tracks on ride with GPS or Strava or other to see what is common. A lot of people post their rides including camino's on these sites so you may be able to find the information you are seeking.
I have not cycled the section you are looking for information on but with 10% of pilgrims on cycle there has to be a simple alternate that is most likely mark.
Is there a dedicated guide for cyclists that suggests alternatives to the rocky/steep parts of the trail? I found a link to a 2018 one on another thread, but it is no longer available.
