I am heading off piste from my normal route. I have an invite to stay with Tarik, an old Merlin friend. With a strong headwind today, I have broken the journey into two by stopping in Nantes this evening.
Grey, windy and very overcast. Slight drizzle at time but no deluge!
On a different bike this year. Had a mechanical failure on my touring (& old commuting) bike. Not enough time to get new shifters, so last minute switch to carbon. The ergonomics need some adjustment as its not feeling as comfortable as the Alez Elite.
And here is todays map!
