Blog for the day:
Another day another visit to le tour :). Well we had no rain today which was amazing, things are looking up!! Great days ride through some great scenery. (Bit late to write this at midnight so will be brief)

Got lost lots, gps kept giving up in towns. Lovely places I went through today. Saw lots of veg growing and spring onions being harvested, great smell.

Saw mont Saint Michelle in the distance then followed the roads around to visit it, after cycling virtually to camp and back.

The tour was in Granville, so busy that with a bike it was hard to get anywhere. I managed to push it around to where the team buses were and saw lots of the worlds best cyclists. Fantastic. Very happy.

Missed a few things again due to not being able to find them or forgetting about them all together! Bed time!.
