Welcome to the indomitable Bretons, where the water is invigorating and the crowd always on fire! 🤘 Until 1990, this paradise was called Côtes-du-Nord, but it must be said that it felt a bit too cold to attract crowds 🥶. So, with its nearly 6900 square kilometers of pure bliss, the famous 22 has become a promised land for triple efforts 🏊♂️. Under its mild oceanic climate, you'll quickly understand that rain only falls on the unwise, and the sun shines mainly in the hearts of the locals ☀️. Moreover, microclimates are plenty, and you might tan faster than you expect upon leaving the bike park 🌦️.
Forget monotonous courses, here each pedal stroke immerses you in scenery worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster 🎬. If you pass near Fréhel, look up at the majestic Fort-la-Latte which once served as a set for the movie The Vikings with Kirk Douglas last century ⚔️. Your race in Côtes d'Armor will take you from the medieval streets of Dinan to the chaotic rocks of Ploumanac'h or Perros-Guirec 🏰. In these lands where people proudly speak Gallo in the east and Breton in the west, you might even spot a puffin near the Sept-Îles reserve while catching your breath 🦅. That's the huge advantage of choosing an event by the sea with breathtaking views 🌊. You might even greet fishermen returning to port during your swimming part ⛵.
After giving your all on the coast, you deserve the best recovery in the world: the famous Coquille Saint-Jacques from the Baie de Saint-Brieuc, the historical prefecture of the area 🦪. If you're more into village vibes, a good galette-saucisse washed down with cider will surely await you in Paimpol or Lannion to relive the race with friends 🍎. It's worth mentioning that the department has produced some great athletes, like the legendary cyclist Bernard Hinault, born in Yffiniac 🚴♂️. Speaking of legends, we can't forget Breton triathlete Arnaud Guilloux, who often made an impression on Celtic lands with his phenomenal cycling power 🚀. You will need to draw inspiration from this immense determination to tackle the relentless comebacks of local courses 💪. The Breton spirit is to never give up, even against the headwind 🦑.
