    I hope that the 1st french rallye prepared by magnon from advrider will look the same that this area.

    Hey, i went over to that offroad park on sunday. it looks do-able on a GS so i was going to give it a go.

    but there was a guy there wanting 9 euros. i figure i would come back some other day.

    still, it looks fun if its dry.

    I think I'll be in this area this WE, where you can find a lot of free place to ride with a GS (in fact same places where we went with Sandyman, Onyerbike and Olmer last time).

    Just keep me informed if you want to go.

    Onyerbike you're in ? (even if english rugby team had slaughter french team last WE :cry )

    :D May I take this opportunity to apologise for the behaviour of my countrymen, a game is a game, no need to be too harsh and slaughter the other team :lol3
    I can possibly make this Sunday, the weekend after I can make Saturday or Sunday.

    If it's still ok for you, I propose to meet at the place we use last time (the old Hermeray Graveyard) on sunday (about 11:00 AM or 1:00 PM). It will be a soft offroad riding (for real this time, I broke one of my finger last Week End).

    Hello guys ...

    Well I'am still alive ... and at the end I decided that I can't sell my Tenere ... well that is just the best bike in the world for soft enduro and to go at the same time to work every day ...
    So the Tenere is back home ...
    Well, then I have to make some space, then if one of you is interrested by a ktm LC4 400 cheap (1400 euros), with brand new cross tires (well some guys can testimony ... just 15 minutes riding with it :) :)
    The front brake are new (changed since the last week-end).
    The only point to verify is the fork joins that have to be changed ... but that is the only thing ....

    Well, I made my first forest path this week ... my knee is still painfull then I go slowly but it is very good to be back on track ...

    Maybe I will come in may but I think my wife has some plans for thoses dates ... I will confirm this quick.

    See you guys and take care .... (Olivier you don't tell me about that finger when we spoke this week ... don't be ashamed, a finger is less than a knee :) :) )

    Good to hear that you are riding again, sorry to hear about the pain you still have in your knee. Think it is a good choice you have made to keep the Tenere
    Be good to meet up again at the 1st french advrider rally in May but if you can't make it, maybe later in the year we will finally arrange to meet in Bordeaux with Magnon. I think another English guy, PaulXC also lives down that way.
