Sport Adventure’s first ever route and still one of our favourites, the Normandie takes in the best trails in what is a spectacularly beautiful area - lots of woodland, lots of sunken tracks, a fair splattering of mud and an absolute minimum of road work. Extensively modified at the end of 2006, the route now comprises of three 150 kilometre loops running from the small country town of Gace. Accommodation however is still in the same charming, family run hotel, complete with bar and excellent restaurant. Extremely easy to get to (approximately one and a quarter hours south of both Le Havre and Caen) participants have the choice of taking the night ferries that arrive at the channel ports the morning of the start of the trip or crossing over the day before, in which case we will be happy to arrange accommodation. Either way the ride finishes in plenty of time to catch ferries back to UK on Friday night.
