Today started and ended with a somewhat unpleasant experience with my new GPS. It cannot calculate the routes I've compiled - first by complaining about insufficient memory, then by denying to calculate a route with more than 50 so-called via points. Fortunately, I also loaded the complete track into it (the same that you can see on Bikemap in the right column), and thus can follow the planned route. Which is not at all perfect - I've had to reroute manually twice because what seemed to be roads on the map at home turned out to be gravel roads... However, with an electronic map on the handlebar, rerouting is not at all painful. :-) Another navigational lesson learned, is that following a calculated route can be extremely difficult as intersections jump at you (or me) faster than they come up on the map. Concluding the navigational part, today totalled 131 kilometres, in 6 hours.
On my way to Quimper, I passed a guy bicycling a "lay-down-bike" - twice! He wasn't going very fast (despite that those bikes are supposed to be fast) and the reason I passed him twice was that I stopped for lunch at a créperie (crépes are the local fast food).
To the picture, it is an attempt to show the insanely large number of bridges crossing the main river in Quimper - all completely covered with flowers.
