Today I would cycle to Ploermel which is about a 52 mile ride but I would do 77 as I first wanted to cycle to Quiberon which is a peninsula south of Carnac. As its a peninsula I would cycle 12 miles there and then 12 back but at least it would be without paniers which I left in the hotel. The peninsula was what I expected with dramatic cliffs and rock formations, to get onto it I cycled along a sandy estuary with lots of birds feeding on the flatlands.
From Carnac I haeded back to Auray but this time I cycled down to the coast at La Trinite which is a very up market resort with the biggest marina jam packed with yachts. From TRinite I cycled through quiet straight smooth woodland roads to Auray and onto Vannes. At Auray I crossed the river on the old stone arched bridge to Port de St Goustan. The cobbled street down to the bridge is very steep and those brakes were playing up again, I could hear metal on metal screeching as I decended the road with everyone looking at me and the horrendous noise. From Auray it was a straight run to Vannes then north east towards Grand Champ. There then followed a 20 mile ride on small backroads to Serent, this was beautiful cycling but tough as it was relentlessly up and down. At Serent however I descended to the river Oust from where I picked up an ild train line which is now a Green Route cycle track straight up to Ploermel.
