Holiday interlude

It wasn't meant to be a cycling holiday but somehow I returned from Brittany with some 350 km under the belt - bonus! The cycling was largely on the flat, mostly road-based but with some good tracks and boardwalks thrown in, for good measure.

Benodet waterfront

Pootling about the campsite accounted for some mileage everyday, but I was able to escape most evenings for a longer ride. The bike of choice was the old hybrid, recently converted into a single-speed (more of that in future posts), which proved a very suitable option given the terrain and the cycling companions.

Beached

Abandoned!


France does do cycling and bike-trails well. There was very little issues with traffic, and the scenery was very pleasant. Would definitely like to explore a bit more. And maybe do an Alp or two!

Boardwalk and trails

Deux bagettes s'il vous plait
Here is the strava track showing a ride I did from the campsite in Benodet out west via the road bridge and then back by the beach track as far as possible. Note, the morning pootle is also included!


And here's the track for a ride to the east, again using road and trails where available. This one included some dodgy stretches of sandy track that I just about got through ok!
