Westerly Loop to Rouans via Rezé and Port-Saint-Père

Easy ride trying to avoid the predicted rain and I got lucky. I enjoyed this “borrowed” course but I need to simply the way out of Rezé at the beginning. Today was a great motivation to push maybe as soon as next weekend up to Port Collet. Onwards and upwards!…

Easy ride trying to avoid the predicted rain and in that respect I got lucky (just a little drizzle; checked the weather with 3 different apps and all predicted less than 1 mm of rain). I enjoyed this “borrowed” course but I need to simplify the way out of Rezé at the beginning. Today has been a

Vertou Chateau-Thébaud Sèvre Loop from Southern Nantes

Activity imported manually because I inadvertently discarded it today, even though I meant to save it. Annoying, but it is what it is! Tomorrow, I am planning to ride a loop to Rouans.And maybe the following weekend an easy loop to Port Collet as I want to see the boats/fishing…

Given the current heat wave, I elected for an early ride this morning. It was well worth it, particularly when you go through locations called "Saint-Aignan-Grandlieu" or "La-Bauche-Tue-Loup". I love it. Planning to try and ride more often early in the morning during the week.

Phew! Ever since I arrived in Nantes, I noticed this course and have been thinking about it regularly. I initially planned a loop to Rouans, but somehow I changed my mind after seeing a similar activity by on Komoot (whom I take the opportunity to thank for sharing). Despite leaving at 10 am

Excellent course to have a consistent ride through, such as zone 2. Not the most scenic route, but good enough and with very little traffic. I think this course will become a regular part of mine. Weather permitting, I hope to ride westbound tomorrow.

Another gorgeous, sunny and warm afternoon to escape along the river and back. The course was in essence similar to the one a couple of days ago, but turn half way across the river. Currently trying to regain some fitness, I kept it within zone 2 range with only 3 short intense intervals to render the
