Recommended cycle route:

it seems the recommendations are to start at: Pamplona. There is a railway station there.

Summary from a cyclist:

Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) is a pilgrimage for all people at any stage in life. In 11 days, we cycled the 764km (475 miles) of the Camino Francés (French Way) route. This is the most popular of the paths that lead to Santiago de Compostela. Our journey began in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France at the foot of the Pyrenees. The first day consists of climbing these mountains into Spain. Pilgrims come from all over the world and vary in their motivations for this journey. Along the way you're bound to encounter unforgettable churches, masses, monuments, landscapes, and new friends. Buen Camino!  

from Vic: more like 31 miles per day = 15 days. I think one would wan to take a minimum of 3 weeks: 2 days before you start + 15 + 3 days at the end = 20.
