The association has done a lot of preparation work in advance for this day. No room for error when sending mountain bikers and walkers out on the trails. It’s several months of work to research circuits and routes in the countryside and especially to mark them. You must not get lost.
And avoid asphalt for mountain bikers. We also prepare hundreds of small directional arrows.
No less than thirty volunteers are mobilized.
