Callie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dave, you could ask a biking shop, they're bound to know. You could also try your Mairie, or even the prefecture in Niort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesFlamands Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dave, as in the UK your bike needs to be road legal and insured. To make a start finding tracks you can ride use the IGN 1:25000 (blue) maps. These are not always up to date but a good start. The only restriction are tracks with a sign that says no entry to 'moto' or 4 x 4s. Please ride sensibly as there is a lot of pressure to close the 'chemins' to motobikes and this has already happened in some departments (I don't think this is the case in 79 yet).

thumpinfrance Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi dave whereabouts in the deux sevres are you, I ride here in the charente maritime around the st jean d'angeley area, There are a lot of organised rides which you can take part in which you only need your road licence and not a racing or FFM licence (bike has to be roqd legal, doesnt have to be french registered as long as you have a log book and insurance).I will pm you with my phone No if you are interested.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wiggy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi Dave. One of the Brit lads here in L'Absie goes of with a bunch of French local lad's who go off roading most Sunday mornings, if this is any help I can get you his phone number for the details.
