The Way Of Saint Martin: Gien to Jargeau
http://loirevalley.blogspot.com/2008/03/gien-to-jargeau.html
The Way Of Saint Martin. Cycling The Way of Saint Martin along the Loire Valley. Slowly. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. Another bloaty breakfast, this time the apple sauce came with apricot or raspberry - I had both. We watched the rain fall and as it clearly had no intention of stopping we grimly rode out. We rolled through the rain for 30km before we reached Sully sur Loire with its fancy pants chateau in a moat. It was very fancy. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

Cycling The Danube: August 2009
http://cyclingthedanube.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Cycling from Passau to Budapest - slowly. Saturday, 29 August 2009. Listened to the rain falling in the early hours. It wasn't comforting or encouraging. I tried to eat a good breakfast but I felt sick, I was nervous about the trip. We cycled out to St Stephans Cathedral. We were on the German side of the river looking across to Austria, we were up against the steep rocky face of a nature reserve but all we saw were slugs and snails enjoying the rain. It was easy riding with no other cyclists for 10km.

The Way Of Saint Martin: November 2006
http://loirevalley.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
The Way Of Saint Martin. Cycling The Way of Saint Martin along the Loire Valley. Slowly. Saturday, November 11, 2006. The rain in Marcigny really was torrential, and unlike other cycle pilgrimages. We've undertaken, rain became a regular factor of our trip through France. In some ways it's better than blistering sun as it does no painful damage to you, and doesn't make you ill, but it is depressing, and feeling the squidge of water between your toes as you pedal does not inspire stellar performance.

The Way Of Saint Martin: October 2006
http://loirevalley.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
The Way Of Saint Martin. Cycling The Way of Saint Martin along the Loire Valley. Slowly. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. We stopped at St Louis’ in Roanne, a big black church which looked much brighter inside. Lou settled down at an internet café to blog whilst I headed off to a popular lunchtime bakers. After trying to say “thin, atun, tuna, poisson and pesce” I eventually mimed a fish before getting tuna sandwiches. It started to drizzle so we kitted up with rain jackets for ourselves and our panniers. ...

The Way Of Saint Martin. Cycling The Way of Saint Martin along the Loire Valley. Slowly. Saturday, March 24, 2007. St Agnan - Digoin. As we left town I noticed my fingers were wrinkly and my pee had been Tango so I set out to drink as much as possible. The hotel had refilled my bidons and I drank them. We got to Diou after taking a very wrong turn and ending up in a bar that supported Marseilles. But he didn’t have a phone number. Otherwise Digoin. Was our best bet. After miles of nothingness and massive...

The Way Of Saint Martin: October 2007
http://loirevalley.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
The Way Of Saint Martin. Cycling The Way of Saint Martin along the Loire Valley. Slowly. Friday, October 26, 2007. We rode back on to the canal path to Fleury sur Loire which had a bar-tabac-restaurant but it was boarded up with a tarpaulin roof. The post office was open and had a loo – hurrah! I took over as Lou is scared of cities. The ride into Nevers wasn’t too bad, we went for a good couple of miles along strip malls, outlet stores and motels before crossing the Loire into the city.

Camino De Santiago by Bike: Day 14 - Palas de Rei - Santiago de Compostella
http://caminodesantiagobybike.blogspot.com/2006/07/day-14-palas-de-rei-santiago-de.html
Camino De Santiago by Bike. Cycling from St Jean Pied Du Port to Santiago de Compostella. Slowly. Monday, July 31, 2006. Day 14 - Palas de Rei - Santiago de Compostella. On the road to Santiago and I’m super excited. It’s a really weird feeling, although it’s hilly I haven’t much felt it, I’ve been counting off the kilometres. We’ll do 63 today to get there. When the road counters get to 100 we’ve made it. As we got closer I got faster! His mate recognised us first, to much laughter, and a curious cyclin...

Camino De Santiago by Bike: D -1 The Way To St Jean Pied Du Port

Camino De Santiago by Bike. Cycling from St Jean Pied Du Port to Santiago de Compostella. Slowly. Saturday, June 10, 2006. D -1 The Way To St Jean Pied Du Port. From Bayonne it was an hour by train, but we couldn’t get the bikes, still boxed up, the five minute walk to the station. Lou got the tourist office to hail us a cab to the station and I hauled the bikes to the taxi rank, cutting my leg quite hideously. After some discussion in semi French. Go To: Day 1 St Jean Pied Port to Pamplona. He took this...

Blogs are great, they let you record each day's travels. What they're not good at as being easy to read from start to finish as the start is at the bottom and the end at the top. To make this a little easier I've added a 'forward' link at the end of each day's riding so you can work upwards with ease. St Jean Pied Du Port. Carrion de los Condes.

Camino De Santiago by Bike: After the Camino - What next?
http://caminodesantiagobybike.blogspot.com/2006/09/after-camino-what-next.html
Camino De Santiago by Bike. Cycling from St Jean Pied Du Port to Santiago de Compostella. Slowly. Saturday, September 02, 2006. After the Camino - What next? One question that always comes up after the Camino de Santiago, well, after recovery from the Camino, is what shall I do next? The experience is a wonderful one, and people want to continue their learning journey. For me the next pilgrimage was along the Via Francigena. Our next trip was to follow 'The Way of Saint Martin'. Carrion de los Condes.
