Hi,I'm staying near Donnay in a couple of weeks time, and was wondering if anyone knows a good source of offroad routes. Will just be taking the Soul so am looking for routes for myself and gentler for my girlfriend. Thanks for looking.

You should be able to find loads of routes around there, Spent some time at Clecy which is nearby, and a few weeks just N of Thury Harcourt last year. Was on my Solaris and it was a perfect area for it.
Got most of my routes either from IGN local maps, or from Utagawa site.
Not much round there is too technical, mostly just miles of old byways and lanes with no gates ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh,and the tourist offices are great and will often have leaflets with routes, particularly Pont d'Ouilly and Thury-Harcourt

Don't know if you know the Chilterns, it's not dissimilar, so fast tyres if it's been dry, but mud if it's wet. Mind you I used tubeless Ardents, but with very low psi. Was fun ๐Ÿ™‚
