Day 2 - twas à 130km bruiser

Thé simple aim today was to get over thé Loire and into thé Vendée. This we did and duly finished in Machecoul

Accompanied by Dave and Richard we set off at 9am after à gréât breakfast ( and cheap) and immediately found our proposed route closed due to French Rally Cross - bugger! Big détour which explain's today's mileage ensued and pût us back an hour.

Still we carried on, blown by à cracking wind and knocked up à decent average speed as we sped through town after town. Finally, we reached thé Loire and caught thé frèe ferry over at Le Pellerin. We then completed thé last 25km to thé hôtel - big day, big wind, big sun - followed by big dinner and bed.

Nan night!

  1. Sounds like you've had 3 great days so far. Look foeward to seeing you "in the sun" next Sunday. One question, why does the picture of Louise and Helen look like they are in a train dining car?

    All the best.
