The Guidon race on July 7, announced on the FFC calendar and declared to the prefecture, will not take place.
The traditional Decazevillois Guidon event in July, with its arrival at the top of rue Cayrade, will not take place this year. The reason is that the tattoo show which took place in February has been moved to July 7.
“We learned of the holding of this show by pure chance, we were not informed beforehand. However, this date has for years been synonymous with the Decazeville grand prix, a week after Belmont sur Rance and before the Rodez night. Having learned this too late, it is impossible for us to change our route, we need a period of 2 months from the prefecture to comply with the rules in force for this type of event. We cannot find another date without competing. another ordeal we are not helped, at the beginning of the year the Community of Municipalities asked us to leave the premises that we had occupied for years, we were cut off from our water supply. vehicles and our equipment”, thunders President Jean-Claude Cazelles.
The president of Guidon adds: “We are only volunteers who give our time, certainly out of passion, we are not in an association to create problems for ourselves. Discouragement is taking over. In the end season, we will take stock and the right questions will find the necessary solutions.”
