Ouch. Quite a few of my body parts are refusing to talk to me.
79.41 km.
3 hours and 55 minutes saddle time, elapsed real time 7 hours.
Average speed 20.3 km/hourMaximum speed 55.3 km/hour (I had to stop to let opposing traffic through; bloody French road rules; I could have hit 60 ! ;-)
Constant head wind (that's why all the geezers on their fancy racers were going the other way ;-); Hills like you wouldn't believe!
Add to that that I had to carry my bike in Morlaix up and down lots of stairs ( An e-bike weighs enough already; add to that an extra battery and luggage and you're sweating)
And all without EPO, an assist car, or spectators (all of that was in Corsica today ;-)

The bike route through the tunnel is awesome. You should thank the google idiots.

Doing one of these a day is actually fun. But only once you've completed it. So I actually am quite happy about the wicked ways of the GIs ;-) However, doing more than one a day is rough if you still have xx kms to bike. And if you happen to be 60 or 70 and just bought yourself an e-bike for a leisurely ride because you're not that strong anymore: You get the idea ...
