Among them, Florent, Marc and Ludovic, who came for the 30-kilometre mountain bike ride: “We cycle a lot on the weekends, so we took the opportunity to meet up with other cyclists we know. It was friendly, with a good atmosphere and more than two hours of effort. Coming from Coulounieix-Chamiers and Vergt, the three friends braved the freezing temperatures to exercise and have a good time.

Christophe Sanchez, director of the Boulazac sports department, was satisfied with this event: “This is the 8th edition after two cancellations due to the health crisis. This year, the themes are sharing and conviviality and it is a great success. “There were nearly 4,000 people in the last editions. About 2,000 were expected this time, due to the unusual coolness of this Sunday in April. This did not prevent the inhabitants of Boulazac and the surrounding towns from taking advantage of this day and changing their minds.
