Day 3 took us from Lodeac to Redon along the EuroVelo 1 – the route that will eventually carry us to the Spanish border. We rode most of the the 100 km route along the Brest to Nantes towpath. Mostly tarmac, with a few gravel sections, it was blissfully flat after yesterday’s climbs.

With the sun shining, Robyn said it actually felt like a holiday. We passed through a few beautiful old towns along the way, arriving in Redon nice and early – plenty of time to explore, have a few drinks, and find something good to eat.

Tomorrow, we continue toward Nantes, still on the canal path – so we’re hoping for more of the same.
