For some, simply cycling the Camino de Santiago at a normal pace is not enough. Intense endurance challenges such as Iron Men contests and Tough Mudder challenges are increasingly popularity as people look for new ways to test their fitness and chase the adrenaline rush of intense performance increasingly popularity, so we designed our own version:
The Camino Challenge.
The Camino Challenge is for sports enthusiasts or cyclists. Test your cycling endurance, re-engage with life, and surge towards your goals.
Over 8 days of cycling you will cover a massive 714km. Starting from Pamplona, with its backdrop of the Pyrenees, you will peddle down through the expansive plains of Spain. Then comes the biggest challenge – climbing O’Cebreiro Mountain and continuing through the Galician mountains ranges. Your end goal is Santiago de Compostela.
This is not a cycling holiday for the faint-hearted. It will require extensive endurance training for long days of undulating landscapes as well as flat terrain with little to no shade.
This cycling tour package is not suitable for novice bike riders – your bike will come presented in a box which you need to be able to assemble yourself (see our video). You will also need to be familiar with fixing a flat tyre / loose chain. The cycling tour packages are aimed at experienced riders.
