one for Asterisk

St Malo to Rennes
84 km, 774m
After greasy English breakfast and a scramble in the bike store, a great first half of the day, stopping at one of the best menhirs in France, Menhir du Champ Dolent.
Then a long drag through Combourg to Rennes on quite a busy road. Ending with a long loop through the bike paths of Rennes to Hotel Ibis near the station.
Rounded off with Breton crêpe and cider.
