Today's ride felt like great practice for Kent. I didn't want to spend much time looking at maps so I just decided to head out through Carnac and stick to the major single carriageway D roads to the West with the city of Lorient at my halfway point before completing the ride by just retracing my tracks.
Despite holding back on setting off until later in the morning (allowing breakfast with the family) to wait for some showers to pass over, about 2 hours of this ride was spent in fairly significant rain. By French standards these were pretty busy roads and Lorient turned out not to be worth the effort. So good practice for Kent and Dover!
A very robust 61 miles this time, and a For Goodness Shakes vanilla flavour consumed ready for the big event out of Plouay tomorrow.
