Hola:
I am Jim Allen from Seminole, Florida.  My son and I bicycled the Camino following paved roads near the trail from Pamplona to Santiago in September, 2000.  We had 85 degrees and not one drop of rain, no flat tires, no lost spokes, no problems to speak of.  We ate a lot and drank tons of liquid, water, wine, and beer.  We entered three towns that had fiestas and I highly recommend them if you can possibly schedule them.  The towns were O Cebreiro, Ponferrada, and I forget the other one.  We slept in hotels but were prepared to stay in Albergues, it just didn't happen.  It was a trip of a lifetime for a 64 year old retiree and his son.  Now I am drawn back to the Camino and am planning to walk most of it with my daughter in 2003, September.  Now I am interested in backpacks and proper footing.  I will search the archives before I ask any further questions.  
We biked 50 miles a day and made the trip in 11 days.  Suddenly it's over.  Wait a minute.  That was too fast!

Vaya con Dios,
Buen Camino
