We left Bagneres de Biggore and the beautiful Pyrenees early this morning for the long drive North, 626km to the outskirts of Nantes, ready for a short drive to the start of Stage 10, Sain Gildas des Bois to ride 197km to Saint Malo, fairly flat after the last two days, first time we'll see the sea since leaving Nice.
After reaching Saint Malo it will be a quick turn round to ride the 20mile TT route of Stage 11 into Mont Saint Michel before heading down to Fourgeres for an overnight stop.
Not much else to report today, other than long roads, tolls and 7 hours in the car, it will be good to get back on the cycling road tomorrow.
We will try 'live tracking' again tomorrow and keep tweeting updates and photo's, the hotel networks don't seem to support the upload of photo's to the Blog, it's a pity, we have quite a library!
Ride 21 crew and rider still on the road, supporting Action Medical Research.
