My tent was soaked in the morning, though it did not rain. I did not want to wait until the not yet shining sun would have dried up it.
In Pamplona I rode a nice inclining street to the center and there were some nice views to the cathedral and the old town. The first stamp for my credential I received in the office of the Vicaria General. In the Cathedral some hundred meters further a service was going on, so I could see only a glimpse of the interior.
In the town I followed the route for the pedestrians and there again were many pilgrims. The street is full of pilgrim’s shops, so if you would start the Camino in Pamplona, you could arrive without luggage.
I passed the Parque de la Taconera and used the pedestrians route to leave the town. This avoids cycling on a highways emergency track, though the cycle path was immediately parallel to the highway. At the last suburb a cycle route called EV3 started on a normal road, but a small link was missing and I had to cycle through grass and an unpaved way. It would be nice, if that could be improved.
The next village Astrain was not very spectacular but the ascend to the Perdón pass (700 m) started here.
In Obanos I had my lunch near the church an received the next stamp.
In the next village Puente la Reina a further James route joints. I left the village via the medieval arches bridge.
The next major town was Estella. Some festival was going on there, because all men were dressed in white and red.
I pitched my tent on a fully overbooked 1a camping, but there was an unmarked part, good enough for my tent. It was the last camping for the next 50 km, so it was the best option.
After dinner I rode a part of the unpaved Camino and had a free pint of wine from the Fuente del Vino.That is just near the Monastery de Santa Maria la Real de Irache.
The day ended with thunder and lighting and heavy rain.

Though it was a dry nicht, my tent was soaked due to condensed water and I did not wait until it had dried up by the not yet shining sun.
In Pamplona I rode a nice ascending route that had some views to the cathedral and the old town. In the Vicaria General I received the first stamp for today in my credential.
In the cathedral a service was going on, so I could not see all parts inside.
I followed the route for the pedestrians in Pamplona and there again were many of them. Shops for pilgrim needs were chained along the street. So if you start in Pamplona, you could travel without luggage and get everything there. I passed the Parque de la Taconera and used the pedestrians track to leave the town. That avoids the usage of an highway as one of the tracks did, but I still had to ride a cycle path parallel to the highway some later. After a short unpaved part I could change to the opposite side of the highway on a normal road with a cycle way called EV3 according to my OSM map. It would be nice, if

I feared to hear some raindrops on the tent in the early morning, but it must have been something else. Starting from St Jean I had the choice between multiple tracks. One seemed to use the Camino for pedestrians. I took another one from Brig to Cabo Fistera. It started good an used minor roads parallel to the route national. That went fine until Valcarlos. From there it turned in the heights and used the Camino footpath, which is not a good idea with an heavy bike in the mountains. In order to reach the route national I had to cross the river, but the path was very steep -first down and then uphill- so I walked and had many efforts to keep bike and trailer under control. This took some time and sweat.
The route national was very quiet and had a moderate ascend, so I stayed on that track until Pamplona. After noon I reached the highest point 1057 m, the pass of Roland.
I had a little chat with 3 Belgians, who arrived at he same time.
After lunch it was a short distance to the next target: Monastery of Roncesvalles. I asked for a credential there, that is the document that identity a pilgrim and I got my first stamp in it.
On the way down to Pamplona I had to climb again several times to 900 m and 800 m, so it was not just one downhill run.
Several times the pedestrian Camino crossed my track and there were many walking pilgrims to be seen.
I stopped rather early on the camping, I’m the north of Pamplona, because I did not want to hurry through the town. The next camping would be in about 30 km.
Now I had time to dry my sleeping bag in the sun.
