Wanting to bike a route in Sept 2018

Time of past OR future Camino
Doing a bike ride along the Northern Route, possibly, this Sept 2018.
My husband and I are recently retired (yeah!) and planning a 5 week trip to Spain this September to celebrate! We will be visiting the major cities beginning in Barcelona, and then hiking in the Pyrenees and then want to move north toward San Sebastián and Bilbao for their sites for a few days. THEN we want to include a 4 day biking trip (bikes, helmets, and luggage support included, I hope!) along a portion of one of the Camino routes. We thought we’d visit San Sebastián and Bilbao and see the sites first and then figure a way to get to Madrid next. My thought is bike from Bilbao to somewhere west, then train to Madrid. Or bike from Bilbao to somewhere south, then train to Madrid.

I would so appreciate any of your thoughts on this idea and/or suggestions of something different.
After Madrid we will spend a couple of weeks visiting Sevilla, Grenada, and Cordoba before getting back to Barcelona to fly home to San Francisco!
Thank you very much! This is overwhelming and I am getting paralyzed trying to figure out which route for the 4 days! ;-))
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Hope to do st Jean de port to finisterre in September 24 on bike. To buy a bike in Ireland and transport or buy in France. Any thoughts welcomed
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.
