95.76 mi in 07:55:42 hours at 12.08 mi/h on Trek .. [Cycling] 2013 #111 : Day 5 of the Tour of Brittany - Dinan to Carnac
Heading pretty much straight south across the Brittany peninsular from the English Channel to the Atlantic coast. I managed to find an old railway line which is mow an excellent cycle path which runs 52 km from Mauron down to Questembert but I turned off it after about 30km as it was taking me too far east. Instead I cut the corner which involved a punishing stint through the hill forested roads between La Chapelle le Caro and Grand Champ ( I wondered if doing the extra distance on the path would have been easier !)
Weather : The Usual - Dry, Cloudy & Cold, Wind = 10 mph NE, Temp = 37.4 F - 51.8 (Almost getting warm !)

Anyway I continued to Jarrow then along Victoria Road through Hebburn & Pelaw to heworth Roundabout from where I picked my way through Heworth past the golf course and along Follingsby Lane to Boldon and home.
