Hey Guys,

Its summer time again which must mean its time to go wandering with my bike. I’m with my brother this year and we’re travelling round France...hope you enjoy!
After a very comfortable night sleep on the floor of the ferry we docked at Saint Malo at 8.30 French time and it was time for Chris’ baptism of fire in the morning traffic of Saint Malo. With no real street map but a good ‘general idea’ of where we were going we set off . Next was a town called Dinan where we found breakfast and some supplies for the day (although we did cycle past the supermarket on the first attempt giving us two chances of riding up the same hill). After this we had several hours of cycling along fast relativley empty french roads before trying to find a campsite. After visiting a tourist information centre, where a woman told us we had a 10km ride out of our way untill the nearest campsite, we decided that we should have a more detailed map of the areas.
We are now all alone on a camping municipal site in a small town called Monteneuf which prommises a boulongary full of excitment in the morning.

Todays stats were:
Max speed: 45.5
Ride time: 5:13:51
Average speed: 20.1
Distance: 115.23 km
Distance to date: 118.81 km
