Route Experiance:
Positive:
Very nice landscape. Much to see riding alongside the coast. Nice typical architecture style of the typical houses around. Nice small Hills going up and down all the time. Good trainig but was killing me as well 
Negative:
In contrast to the courses I rode in the Netherlands there is actually no cycling way along the roads so you (and I, too;) have to ride on normal streets where cars drive aroung 70 km/h . That is much less comfortable as riding on a seperated cycling way but was manageble since the car drivers don’t drive to agressive. They seem to be used to wait a while and then pass cyclists.
Aditionally I wasn’t able to find a good cycling route guide (searching in saint malo itself as well as cancale and some supermarkets aroung like SuperU or Leclerc) and there was no cycler guiding system as well. So you have to plan the tour yourself more careful If your a not known to the area.
Conclusion and judgement:
I recommend the route anyhow since Saint Malo is one of a kind and _the_ sightseeing spot in the area (besides the Mont St Michel) so that overweighs any pain. And I did not get to know the nearer surroundigs so good before. As stated the sight is nice along the route. But have a look yourself:
