France

My road : Missillac, Saint Gildas, Guémené, Pierric, Grand Fougeray, Saint Sulpice, Ercée en Lamée, Janzé, on 2004-03-13.

In first, I want to send a thank you to each of you who came on Saturday, March 13th to the street Georges Clemenceau to encourage me in this departure. It is something who very marked me and which will remain a important memory for me. I want to greet my family, my uncles and aunts, the neighbours, the friends having sometimes made a long way to be there, Michel the mayor of Sainte Reine, the pupils of the primary and their parents. A person also is to be greeted and to whom we shall send all a thank you, because without him this website would not exist and no sharing would be possible, it is Olivier.

The departure it is made at about 10 am, together with some cyclists, adventurers for some kilometres, and an experienced person of the bicycle with who I took a big pleasure to ride. If you did not recognize him, and indeed it is Denis from Héric. Our road was punctuated with stop because the first small mechanical problem appeared on my bicycle, but very fast I revealed the abnormalities, resolving it temporarily to reach Janzé. To Guémené, our roads parted by saying to me that this time the adventure was in front of me.

Some kilometres before Janzé, another friend joined me and we finished the step together. It turned out rather easy contrary to my cyclists' qualities, furthermore than I ran for the first time loaded. I would have buckled 95 kilometres in 4 hours and 40 minutes.
