Dieppe: 100/140k potential refreshments ( + routes link)

 

 Firstly here is a link to my post about the routes back in March

Dieppe routes

 

In preparing the routes and studying Google maps I was also looking for likely refreshment stops for those on the 100/140km routes. This is what I found.

 Morning:

I think the only "certain" location for coffee is Londinieres. It is 18 miles out on the 100km route and 32.5 miles out on the 140km.  It seems that there is at least one bar and maybe two bakeries. On the 140km route there is also a possible cafe in Cuverville at 18.5 miles but no info on opening times.

Note for 100km riders: the route turns right onto the D12 without reaching the centre of Londinieres. You will need to go about 200m left into the centre to find refreshment.

Afternoon:

100km ride: 

At 52 miles the route does a left and right for a few hundred metres along the D925. About half a mile later there is a bar/grocer on the right. Google posts no hours but I remember stopping there for an ice cream once - though that might have been a Saturday! After that La Cabine in Quiberville Plage should be open about 2 miles further. 

140km ride: last year there was no free refreshment point as in earlier years.

At Le Bourg Dun 74.4 miles the route crosses the D925. Supposedly the Bar Doris 100m to the left on the D925 is open. After that the Cafe de la Place in Quiberville ( village) just after the roundabout 77.8m may be open. Then there is La Cabine in Quiberville Plage.

All of the above assumes that opening hours reported by Google are correct which we know from experience isn't always the case!!
