A day which we thought would be easy turned out to be quite a challenge despite it being 'just' 44 miles.
It started innocent enough with a long flat which took us through the pine forests with a cool morning breeze.
The road was tedious but totally off road. Long straights with a bend here and there. It soon changed after 20 miles when we hit a forest with so many hills Brittany was looking like a preamble. On and on it went. The day grew hotter and hotter despite us setting off early trying to avoid it.
We had brief stop for toilet paper (campsites in France don't supply toilet paper nor toiletseats!) before we hit the pedals again. The last 5 miles were relentless- why is it always the last bit?
We arrived just after 2pm - in time for a cooling shower. Here for another 2 nights (whoopppee!) before we tackle the next section.
Another rest day...
