This September 27th I will cycle across Spain by following an ancient Pilgrimage route starting at Bilbao, before heading south to briefly connect with the El Camino Santiago. I will then head to Salamanca, Merida, Savile, Gibraltar before getting the ferry to Tangiers, Morroco. A total distance of 800 miles in 3 weeks. I've a ways to go in organising this thing, like getting a bike, but its happening. So get a bike and get involved...or just follow me on this blog
