Got bikes fixed before setting off and in theory this was going to be an easy day - all cycle path and not too far which was why we decided to take a quick detour down the Nantes Brest canal to Malestroit for lunch. Very nice detour but we then couldn't find the way off the cycle path which meant we ended up doing about 72k instead of the planned 60! Moreover although the day started overcast it got gradually hotter, up to 30 in the afternoon.
Eventually we flagged down a passing cyclist who led us to a nar
row path down a bank- we would never have found it!Molac is in the middle of nowhere - a tiny place. The hotel was not great but very friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside and watching the housemartins wheeling in the square and feeding their young on the wall of the hotel.
174km to date.
