Au Revoir Auray Bonjour St Malo via Plumelec

After a nice couple of days in Auray, heading towards St Mali for a week. Drove about 40k to Plumelec. In 2008, we watched out first ever live stage of the TDF, Went on to watch another 102, but this was the first and very memorable. We walked to town today, went to the same Marche, the community camp ground (which appears not be in use anymore), the stage Arivee and even the toilet (Long story, but this was my first experience of both sex toilets that are everywhere in France, but when you need to go, you need to go) .

Joyeux anniversaire à moi

Well I have celebrated my 54th birthday in a memorable way today. BB has totally spoilt me. We went to the carnal stones then on to Quiberon,  a small look look an island but not. What a beautiful place . Did some jogging, photo taking, picnic , walking , dipping in the water, running on sand. Doesn't get any better than this

Made it back to Ibis Auray about 1, which naw good timing as the traffic going to quiberon was huge.

Late walk to town, found a market and also found the exact spot we stood in 2008 tdf depart from Auray.

2 bottles of champagne, one exploded, pizza and 2 fruit tarts

World Masters 10k Mens Champs

Little bit of rain about in the morning, much better for BB 10k race than it was for the 5k in the 40degress heat. Ran to the Saint Laurent Gerin track from the hotel, about 5k, got there early and watched some of the other races.

BB had a hot field and when the gun went off at 16.00, it was on. A pack of about 7 broke away with in 2 laps and they battled it out, each having a go out front and trying to make a gap. Great race, BB ran another awesome race and finished 5th in the world for his age running 10k. Imagine that 5th in the world, these runners although in the 50's still run like they are 20, awesome to watch

Another Day of Sight Seeing in Lyon

Weather has cooled down to a pleasant 25ish. Decided to take the tram again into town and walk the rivers. Everything is closed in Lyon on a Sunday, except restaurants. And that's where everyone was today. Mussels and wine seemed to be what they were eating (Moules and Vin).
