Ah yes, may have added a zero or two, or three!

It's enough in metres!

Big (obvious) question:

Of the total mileage (old git, old school, don't understand gasometers) how much is off road I wonder, especially in Northern France...

And what sort of off-road riding is it ?

Anybody know ?

I don't know the answer but it has been put together to be ridden on either CX or Mtb. Looking at bits of the route via bikehike Google satellite images it seems like a big proportion is on little roads and forest roads.
