Best source for french bike routes?

I often seen bike route signs in France (the standard green ones, but with numbers, no names) that I can't find on any maps. For example, part of my route today was from Carentan-les-Marais to Sainte-Mère-Église. That's around 15km, and each turn had a bike route sign with either the number 52, or the numbers 5 and 2. Is there a map somewhere where all these routes are listed? They weren't on francevelotourisme.com as far as I could find. Thanks.

Two destination listings, both going to random places.

I want to bike to the town of Vire, France. Komoot lists two: Vire, and Vire Normandie. They each go to random points about 10 km away from the actual town of Vire, in different directions. Komoot worked fine on my trip across Europe last year, seems totally broken this year.

Komoot navigating to wrong place?

Here's the most recent example. Coming from Bruz, France I choose Dinan, France city and this is where it takes me - 8 km from Dinan. This has happened a few times on my bike tour this year, don't remember it happening at all last year. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

Is the front vs rear pannier debate in any way settled?

At least of youtube tourers, there appears to be an even mix of those using front vs rear panniers. Let's ignore bikepacking setups for this discussion, or having them on both front and rear, which I know is popular, but I don't have that much gear.

I know some carbon forks can't hold much weight, but I've got a steel fork, so not an issue. If you could only pick one setup, what are the factors leading you toward one or the other? Or does it just not matter. Thanks.

How to get Claude to test its work?

I'm in a cycle where Claude makes a change, it doesn't work, and I have to tell it to test by suggesting a test, eg: Run code and see if indeed X is greater with the change after Y happens. Then it sets up the test and realizes its change didn't work. Does anyone have tips for instructing Claude to think up and run a good work check automatically? Or should I add to the initial prompt. Thanks.

Water bottle cage screw holes too close together

Can any one give a reason for this? This is a Decathlon Rockrider bottle cage. The screw holes are about 25% too close together. I thought this distance was standard? It did come with an odd looking rubber thing...and no instructions. Thanks.

Does everyone do the Camino Frances in the same direction?

I'm in SdC and hung out a bit on the Camino Frances route this morning, thinking I would see lots of hikers headed out of SdC and onto the trail. I did indeed see hundreds of walkers - all headed in the other direction, the last mile to the Cathedral SdC. It was only about 10:30 AM, so I confirmed with one girl that she was indeed on the last mile of her walk - yup, just got up early.

I figured it made no difference which direction you did the walk, though of course I know "traditionally" you end up in SdC. Is there some other reason nobody does this backwards? Thanks.

Cycling the Portuguese (EV1) from Porto to Santiago de Compostela

I just completed this beautiful route, staying hotels, over a few days. Saw around a bizillion walkers, 20 or so e-bikes, and 5 regular bikes like mine on the route. Few tips:

Consider booking accommodations well in advance, especially after Vigo. It was easy to find places a couple of days in advance through Vigo, harder after.
I used a gravel bike, and you'll absolutely want this or a mountain bike for this route, as probably half is off-pavement (or at least something sturdy with wider tires). Good brakes are critical as there are some crazy downhills on loose surfaces.
Consider going north to south, in the direction of the prevailing winds here. The Nortada isn't too bad once you leave the coast, but can be brutal on it.
The EV1 and Camino diverge eventually, with the EV1 following the coast. I recommend getting off the EV1 and following the Camino to SdC, as this is the most beautiful section of the trip (though hilly). Note that at times the Camino is not passable in short sections by bike. In this case Komoot will route you along a passable road, and you'll always rejoin the Camino shortly. It's important to stay on the Camino, as this is where are the cafes and services are, and you won't get lost due to all the pilgrims and signage.
Expect about 2/3 car free, 1/3 on roads with cars, either back roads, or busy roads with a bike lane.
