Dinan to Hédé-Bazouges

Posted July 4, 2014

What a day! We ended up sleeping in late and didn’t leave Dinan until around noon by the time we had breakfast and packed. The beginning of our route took us down a path where we had to do battle with some wild roses. A couple of kilometers later we ran into a dead end and had to battle the roses on the way back. The roses won both ways – we all have the cuts to prove it. Once that ordeal was over and we found an alternate route we made some good time. About two thirds of the way through our 40km we took a side trip to le Chateau de la Bourbansais. We liked the look of the place and decided to put an offer in.

When Ben got mugged by some lemurs on the property and we lost a banana we decided to pull the offer.

All in all it was a great ride. Tomorrow we will be getting wet but the kids have been warned. We are also done with bike paths and will mostly be on roads from here on out. It seems like the drivers here are much more considerate than in North America so we feel quite comfortable.

Thanks for following our trip. Hope everybody is doing well, and we’ll see you soon!!
