Day 12 - the last one

Tuesday 4th June

Woke up to rain, rain and more rain! The heaviest we have had. A quick chat with the hotel reception allowed us to stay until 12:00 if we wanted to. So, a slow breakfast while we watched it sheeting down and it stayed that way until 10:45 and it cleared a bit. So off we went for our final ride, only for it to rain on us after 15 minutes.  

It didn’t last for too long which was good as the legs were not push he pedals over too well (at least mine weren’t). We didn’t have far to go go today. About 21 to 25 km depending on the route we took. So as soon as we could we turned off his main road and left the car and wagon traffic to itself and stayed on country roads as much as possible, as we have for most of the trip so far.  

We rode into the centre of Quimper for lunch and ended up eating a quiche under a shop awning as it started to rain again. So we decided to head for the hotel and then it rain properly again and we ended up wet through by the time we arrived. But, no problems the room was ready and we were clean and warm shortly.  

A leisurely afternoon and a bit of a walk before dinner had seen us finish off the 12 days. 

So to the the stats!

We have cycled (according to my GPS):

815 km (that is 510 miles in old money)

Cycled up:

8,940 metres (29,075 feet) and by the way Everest is 8,840 metres for those of you didn’t know!!!! 😃😃😃

So to finish.  We wish you all good fortune and see you on the next cycling blog, whenever it might be.
