I’m spending some time in Le Harve this summer, and would like to take my road bike and do a few circular routes. I’ve no idea of the terrain but 40-50kms,something I can knock off every morning before work would be nice. Granted like many, my only experience of Le Harve is dashing on or off a ferry, but you never know with this forum. Many thanks in advance.

The best I can offer is that I rode into Le Havre from Rouen and then on from Le Havre to Caen the next day as part of the ‘Hayling Cycle Ride’ last summer.

The route in from the North was lovely and I can see it skirts the major built up areas. The route out goes via Honfleur which is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit, but to get there you are on an HGV route (though often with your own lane) and you have to cross the Pont de Normandie which is a 1km 5% climb and then 1km descent on a narrow cycle lane with lots of traffic passing you.

Thanks, I know that bridge well. I don’t like driving on it, let alone on a bike.

It would help if I spelt Le Havre correctly!
