After packing in so much stuff yesterday<\/a>, it was hard to believe that this was only Day 2 of the Aberystwyth Silver Bands twinning tour to St Brieuc, but day two it was. The planned walk around St Brieuc had howver been cancelled as everyone eas tired, everyone needed a bit of a rest and everyone wanted some time to just chill. Except me of course, I was up at 6am, a little later than usual but still a lot earlier than everyone else. It was also very dark, too dark for cycling so I went for a little run into St Brieuc instead. Nothing too strenuous just 4 miles or so with the crescent moon and a very brightly shining Venus for company in the skies above.<\/p>\n

Bike Ride, Hot Tubs and Nudity<\/h2>\n

Once back at the hotel everyone else was still sleeping so I had a shower, followed by a rather large buffet breakfast, then got into my cycling kit as dawn broke and headed off for a bike ride. My plan had been to head North along the coast towards Paimpol and then come back along other roads a little inland to make a loop. This is pretty much what I did, all at a nice fairly easy pace, with the odd stop to check the map and see where I was going. I probably should have brushed up on my French road signs before heading out really though as I kept coming across roads that were equivalent to motorways that bikes were prohibited from, so had a few detours to miss these out. I found my way here though and had a nice there and back, even if many of the roads were a little more ‘main’ that I had hoped.<\/p>\n
