I sometimes use the (slightly modified) notation method for unpaved roads and paths from Centcols.org and their Chauvot guide: R1 is cyclable unpaved road. R1-2 is cyclable with difficulty on a race bicycle (mountainbike is recommended). R2 is where you will have to walk (with a road bike in any case). R3 is difficult to walk. S1 is a cyclable path (few such exists for race bikes). S2 is walking path. S3 difficult walking. S4 means carrying. I give reference numbers to the Chauvot guide and to other guides from Centcols.org. |
