Enduro wins our countryside – ladepeche.fr

Question: what difference does Gers have with Aveyron, Lozère or Lot? The debate is not about geography or gastronomy… The answer is: the place given to enduro (by quad or motorbike).

In the previously mentioned regions, this “nature” activity has been part of the landscape and traditions for ages. However, “at home”, the “green” motorcycle is gaining ground and is increasingly finding its place in our countryside.

This is the positive observation (with 300 registered each time) that we can draw up, in particular, after the gatherings organized by the clubs of Auterrive (the “Randarmagnac” in October) and Marciac (in June). The success of these two events shows the positive impact of enduro: increased community life in clubs, towns and villages, economic benefits in nearby businesses, discovery and maintenance of the sites crossed, contribution for companies specializing in off-road motorcycle, etc.

A multifaceted practice

Thus, “we” realize the benefits of this practice which has developed several concepts in order to appeal to a wide audience. “Indoor”, “extreme”, in “super test” mode (pursuit between two competitors), in a “classic” version (individual and timed course) or simply for a ride… Enduro (appeared in France in 1920) was gradually popularized in our valleys.
