This was also due to the fact that i had to navigate through Nantes and i knew i could loose alot of time here and as it turned out thats excatly what happened. Just before arriving in Nantes i took a wrong turn and ended up on a motorway heading back in the direction i had just come from. I had to get off the bike and walk the wrong way up a motorway to get back onto my road. Cycling through the centre of Nantes i had to take things slowly, checking every turn, crossroads, roundabout to make sure i was staying on track.
I carried on to a suburb of Nantes called Reze and spent about 40 mins trying to find the route out for tomorrow and somewhere to stay for the night. I settled on a truck stop for €39 per night - robbery!
Its alot more stressful cycling through cities, especially cities you dont know.
In the end i had covered just over 80 kms (10 of them going around in circles) in 6.5 hours
For dinner tonight i had a KFC meal. When your doing a cycle like this you gotta eat well so i got it supersized!
Leaving Redon

ReplyDeleteKFC is the perfect french cuisine for the type of work out you're doing every day! You're making fantastic time so you shouldn't feel guilty slowing down to enjoy the mountain views when you get there. Enjoy!
