The day started smoothly by catching the TGV from Morlaix to Rennes . . . until we came to get off: the platform hove into view, but on the other side of the train, which is when we discovered that the door was out of order. Sian was despatched with panniers to jam her foot in the door at the other end of the carriage while I wheeled bikes through the throng of embarking passengers, figuring (correctly) that the threat of oily chainring and scything pedals would cut a clear path. Crisis over, we cycled easily out of Rennes on quiet, flat roads in lovely hot sunshine. Stopped at Lidl for supplies (some things never change) and on to our lodging, via a cold beer stop, out in the boonies where the emergency food rations and bouteille du vin bought earlier are proving useful. Onwards to the Loire le matin.
