The 2024 report
The year 2024, among the Guidons Quercynois, was marked by the return of Ufolep recreational and competitive road cyclists. Many results were obtained with, as a highlight, Dylan's victory in the third category on the Ufolep 82 challenge. Numerous road outings were carried out in the morning on weekends but also during the week, sometimes during the break meridian in winter then at the end of the day as soon as the light of day lengthens into the evening. On the mountain bike side, the club is still in its dynamic of weekly leisure outings, mainly on Sunday mornings. Since this year, members of the HQ have been organizing trips beyond their favorite sector to discover new trails and landscapes: Ainsa and Tremp in Spain, Pic du Jer in Lourdes, Lac du Salagou, Labruguière in Montagne Noire, Transmaursoise in Cantal, etc.
