After having an amazing time cycle-touring in Brittany last year (video link below), I've decided to head over there again. As I've been asked a few times how I plan my cycle-touring routes, I've finally made a video explaining it all!

I use komoot to plan all of my adventures including my cycling holidays but whilst this video isn't sponsored in any way, I DO work for them! So I think they're the best route planner ever, but I must also admit I'm biased.

I hope you find this useful no matter what tool you use to plan your routes – I also talk about how I conceptually plan my routes, how I refine them, and how I find campsites etc. Most importantly, I talk about how to plan your daily distance, because that is the downfall of many a newbie cycle-tourer, I'm sure.

    Komoot is great! I link it to my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, and to Strava. All my cycle routes for the past couple of years have been planned on Komoot.

    Hi, I only recently joined Komoot, but have been doing cycle tours in northern France with friends for a few years (but not since 2019 for various reasons). Once in June, otherwise September. Last time Plymouth - Roscoff ferry, then along coast to St. Malo. Exactly as you say, including being hilly on a steel bike with panniers. Best hol you could have though! Enjoy your trip. Hoping to do something similar later in the year. Sure your vid will help and encourage anyone who hasn’t done it before. Agree whole-heartedly that the key is not to plan long days, but enjoy what your route has to offer.

    Really helpful and you have inspired me to start cycle touring this year! You also have a natural and engaging manner in your YT videos. I expect you will get many more subscribers before too long!

    I’m planning a trip through the same area in 2024 and found this incredibly helpful. Thanks for putting this together!

    Such a useful video. I'm new to Kamoot and I'm going to Britanny next year. Double result 👍

    Enjoyed your comments about not feeling the need to ride 50-60+ miles per day.

    Hi , very useful vid and thanks for the inspiration! I'm new to this and planning my first bikepacking adventure from Dieppe to Barcelona in a couple of months (not sure if its more than I can chew :) eek). Was wondering if I can trust Kamoot to take me on the best route ie shortest and mostly cycle routes. Sounds like I can! I dont have premium and cant see the purple lines you show. I'm also using cycle.travel but they show different routes. Maybe I should get premium. Thanks again

    Apologies! i found it. Had to edit tour first which I was avoiding from the warning given. Silly me. Bit fik :)
