June 2, 2024,Boucle Écluse de Chevaigné – Plan d'eau de Betton au départ de Saint-Médard-sur-Ille

Nice tour overall, note that a mountain bike trail is included after 8 km, on a small portion of course, but the surprise is spicy for beginners. Leave with very good brakes haha or just turn around and continue along the canal, as planned :)
