A poster called Meg offers this helpful route to Lisbon via Spain from France.
If you cross the border using one of the passes in Navarra and approach Pamplona and take a line roughly through Pamplona, Calahorra, Soria, Segovia, Avila, Plasencia, Caceres, cross the border at La Codosera/Marco. Then Monforte, Avis, Mora, Coruche and ferry across to Lisbon from Montijo (three bikes carried free) then you will have travelled well.

40 miles over any type of terrain is good. There is NO such thing as bad exsreice. Cycling is a great low impact cardiovascular exsreice for anyone of any age just about physical condition.My sources? Started about 3 years ago at 315 lbs. Down to about 245. Pushing 60 years old with an arthritic back knees. How’s that?If you’re only riding on city streets consider a good hybrid or possibly an outright road bike. It’ll be a lot faster.Edit: My prostrate is just fine. I’ve done about 60-65 miles in the past 2 days. I do about 3,000 to 4,000 miles per year on a bicycle as I have NO car.
