Here are some pictures from Rando Cyclos at Sar Poteries in
the Avesnois region on Northern France. This event has been
running for 20 years and attracts riders from many
countries.
Dave Watson supplied the pictures, but we've
made up the captions... so blame us for any mistakes, not
Dave!
The Rando takes place on Sunday, but many participants make a weekend of it, so our first picture is from...

This le Poulain powered VBF moped was the raffle prize. It dates

year's Rando Cyclos
