Beau Rivage Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Very nice to drive single trail between Oudon and Les Thibaudières. The EV6 actually leads from Oudon to the other side of the Loire, but this route is the nicer one. Also easy to ride with bicycles with luggage.

The Loire at Oudon

Highlight • River

I always ride south Loire in the morning because the bike path is not shaded. City of Oudon very nice. I often do this circuit always with a picnic break at the port of oudon.

View of the Loire from Pont de Champtoceaux

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Champtoceaux bridge crosses the Loire at Oudon. The view over the Loire is superb because the river is here punctuated by numerous sandbanks.

December 12, 2024,Nantes - Saint-Florent le Vieil

The classic loop via St Florent le Vieil and its magnificent abbey church at the top of Mont Glonne.
Blue sky and sun, very enjoyable, but very very cool temperatures in the morning and terrible polar headwind from the Ancenis side.
Small point Folies Siffait: between the winter and the deforestation that was done recently, we have never had the …

Beautiful day, despite a few drops and a very strong headwind for the return.
Next week should be much more conducive to cycling.

It had started under a beautiful blue sky and a radiant sun, but like last week it ended with 1h30 of cold and incessant rain. I admit that this is not my cup of tea and especially since my 35-inch tires are not at all comfortable in the fresh mud. Please let spring be here soon !

Quick round trip to Saint-Florent le Vieil to keep in shape before the arrival of the rain and the probable storm tomorrow.
I took the opportunity to explore the path along the Loire between the mouth of the Evre and the Babins campsite. I feared a trap like I'm used to, but in fact it's well-maintained singletrack and perfectly suited …

At first I wanted to go to La Bernerie to see the ocean, but I finally told myself that at low tide with a coefficient of 115 the ocean would need binoculars to see it.
So, back on the Loire à Vélo, under a beautiful blue sky, with a very pleasant temperature and the cherry on the cake, (relatively) little …

Classic for today with Nantes-Saint Florent le Vieil by both banks.
Lots of fog early in the morning, beautiful blue skies afterwards.

I finish on a classic Loire à Vélo before a three-week break. RAS on the course. A little wet between Mauves and Oudon but nothing bothersome. Perfect weather with great sun and little wind.

Note that I tried the path that goes down under the column in St Florent, but I gave up because it was not suitable for cycling …

The pictures don't really show it, but I had good weather for a good half of the trail. However, quite a bit of wind.
