First thing, I went round the 15 mile circuit with Gerry (15.5 miles), stopping to buy bagettes and pains au chocolat.
After second breakfast, we drove over to Utah beach for the ride we'd hoped to do the previous Wednesday - it was an altogether better day, with brilliant sunshine most of the time. After unloading the bike in the Utah beach car park, we cycled to St Vaast le Hougue. Initially along the coast road, but due to roadworks, we had to cross to the bigger D14 road. Pretty nice cycling for the most part. Lunch was galettes & crepes in a creperie in St Vaast le Houge. Bizarrely we were supplied with the strong Leffe 9 instead of Leffe Blonde (!) - this made us feel rather sleepy as we set off to return to the car.
We did stop at a supermarket, but it seemed not too great for what we were after. Eventually back to the car after a modest 39 miles. We stopped for a walk on the beach near the General Le Clerc memorial, just a few miles short of the Utah car park.
