June 21 St Meen le Grand to Loudeac 54 km
This was the start of around 200 km of rail trail. It is very pleasant being able to ride side by side and enjoy the countryside without worrying about traffic. Although there were no steep inclines, about half of today's ride was uphill, and Sue was very weary when we arrived in the very unattractive industrial town of Loudeac. Information centre closed, so we booked in to the most attractive hotel, Les Voyageurs. Showered and walked around the town, but not much to see.
Despite this, we decided to stay an extra day to give Sue's body a chance to recover - a change of seat angle wasn't a very smart move, even for a reasonable short time.
