Nice course to ride, but I left a bit late in the day, given the time of year and therefore ended up riding the last 6 km in the dark (I had front and back lights, though!). I forgot that the course would take me through the "Mur de Saint-Fiacre" (0.36km long, 9% average gradient, with a section at the

Another first-time ride and a slight variation to yesterday's course, as I went down to Montbert and pushed to Clisson. The ride was supposed to be low intensity, but I realise now, after the event, that the intensity was still too high... Riding in zone 2 is hard. In any case, the intensity was lower

First ride on this course, which after the stop-start hassle of coming out of Rezé town centre, turned out to be very fast rolling. I also spotted another public water fountain along the course in Aigrefeuille-sur-Maine. For information, this course is possibly the one where I came across more traffic

I undertook to ride this course anti-clockwise, which turned out to be fine, with no particular difference pertaining to its topology. I also managed to identify a public water fountain along the course and have the corresponding waypoint labelled as such on my Garmin bike computer. Knowing that I could

A glorious ride on a beautiful and sunny afternoon along the Nantes Southern countryside roads. This course is possibly my favourite so far. The views from the tops of the hills are amazing, especially as the fields are currently at various stages of transformation, depending on the crop and the time

I decided to ride later in the afternoon, and it felt good. I enjoy how nice this course is, as it covers a good portion of the adjacent southern area of Nantes. The sunlight in the late afternoon over the surrounding countryside is amazing. For information, this course is totally clear of roadworks
