Oh no, the washing hadn't dried properly, so when we set out into the cool morning air we were wearing an odd assortment of alternative kit. I was actually quite glad to be wearing longs because the day had started at 6°C. After 25km of long straight roads we stopped at Lacanau for pastries. Duly fortified, we cycled on along miles of beatiful forest cycle paths.
Eventually we reached the touristy Cap Ferret, for a crossing of the bay to Arcachon for lunch.
From there it was down the coast past the rather impressive Dune de Pilat, and then more long straight roads before we arrived at our apartment in Mimizan.
