This is what some of the locals get up to in our area on an Easter Sunday, the Grappe de Cyrano, a two day motorcycle event that takes in several courses starting from and finishing up in Bergerac, the nearest to us being in Tursac last weekend.
It's the first time I've been to the event and it was a very enjoyable and entertaining morning with nearly 500 competitors taking part, the best way I can describe it is that in England it would be a cross between 'Scrambling' and 'Trial' biking, all the riders set off about a minute apart and compete to do a circuit as quickly as possible through woodland and fields ending up negotiating a very difficult assault course before the finish line. All good fun!
