An outing always in good company of @De GASSART PHILIPPE, 50% path 50% single track. It was a good outing despite the Breton weather.

Another great outing in the Gardiole, it's truly a great place! I've been there dozens of times and I keep finding paths and trails that I hadn't taken yet!

A lovely outing to La Gardiole, unfortunately cut short due to the bike's electronics deciding to play up...
A few new trails explored, including some very interesting discoveries.
