I added a column to calculate the "cushion"
i.e. time to arrive before the checkpoint closes.

I adjusted the times and speed to make sure that:

I never have less than one hour cushion (the only one less than two hours is near the last one)
I allow myself to slow down over the last 140miles and
to crawl on the last leg
yet
still have a FOUR hour cushion at the end
get to sleep twice in Loudéac and once more in Mortagne au Perche
between each sleep is three stops:
1. a "punch the card and go" stop (30minutes),
2. a "hang out for about an hour" stop, then
3. another "punch the card and go" stop (29minutes),
I trimmed the breaks to make the departures be on even 5-minutes.

This works out to give 1 hour breaks at Brest (yea!) and Fougères (climb the tower-Yea!)
The three long breaks are "sleep through the night" breaks, so
it's a good thing the heat-wave is ending!

It just might work...
