Bicycle Touring France: Saint-Malo to Janze
Life after sepsis and back to bicycle touring, my latest update: cycling in France, Saint-Malo to Janze. 70 miles. I was off that ferry this morning in record time. They hadn’t even taken the chains off the lorries when they let me off!

I decided to leave the train and cycle in the end today. From what I could see on the internet, the earliest train that I could have got was late this afternoon! And I didn’t fancy hanging around Saint-Malo all day. I wanted to get going! I’ll probably regret that decision later, as I’m pushing it for time once again, but Mr Impatient can’t hang around!

Nice ride today, despite a strong headwind, and I found myself on the Canal d’Ille-et-Rance once again, the same route I took last month when I came here. Although I seem to have made better progress this time! I’m hoping I’ll be back in Angers and on the Loire tomorrow.

Wow! What a mileage – those lovely lock masters’ cottages. You’re a bad influence: I took a 5mg steroid tablet this morning. My bikes in a state out of the river. I’ve lubed the chain with olive oil he! he! I’m just going to look up ‘Where’s Garry’ You lucky dog.
I’m sure you’ll be okay with 5mg, I have to take 40mg!
Hope your bikes ride able!
