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.

Oudon Keep

A pretty site that is worth the detour for the dungeon and its surroundings (canal, sculptures)

January 2, 2026,Nantes - Ancenis

A very poor choice of destination for this first ride back after the holiday break. It's not very visible in the photos, but it was absolute pea soup fog with bitterly cold weather between Ancenis and Champtoceaux. The puddles on the paths were even frozen. A huge temperature shock compared to the 9°C and sunshine in Nantes.

Small reconditioning after two weeks without a bike.
The path was very muddy this morning between Mauves and Oudon.
Many, many hunters on the greenway between Nantes and Mauves. Hope this doesn't become a habit :-(

Nothing to report, except for the fact that the cycle path in San Sebastian is finally finished. After two years of work, it feels like fifteen.
Grey skies and very cool temperatures. Little wind, but not too much energy for me.

Classic loop Nantes - Ancenis, under a beautiful sun (finally!)
With the added bonus of my best time on the course 🍾

Nice quick outing according to Fred's route! Thank you so much. The east wind was very favorable for the return with a speed oscillating between 27 and 32kmh

Quiet recovery outing after a long cut, between two showers.
The floors are sticky, even muddy, even downright muddy in places.

Quiet outing, with a lot of sunshine.

Note that there was work at Folies Siffait. So I went up the Génaudières on foot, which took a big hit to my hourly average, but the view is beautiful ;-)

Grey weather but fortunately not too cold.
Towards the end of the course, believe me if you want, I saw the sun through the clouds. I even took a picture to immortalize this rare natural phenomenon. It was nice, but it didn't last very long...
