Porto to Santiago de Compostela by road bike

Has anyone traveled by road bike from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela via paved roads instead of the mixed terrain coastal way?

My husband and I would like do a 'self tour' on a paved road route from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela. Any recommendations for tour companies that plan this type of road route is appreciated. We would like to rent the bikes in Porto that we could leave in Santiago. We would also need luggage transportation each day on our route.

What I have found thus far are companies that only offer the coastal plan, which includes a lot of off road segments and requirement of a hybrid or mountain bike, which we are not interested in.

Any experience and insight is appreciated.

There are several Camino routes in Portugal and you can switch between them at a few different locations. If you are on one of these routes, you can use Top Santiago to forward your bags each day.
Suggest you get on one of the Portuguese Camino FB pages as you will find more of the information you need. I have only walked this, so can't help with the bikes.
