Here are some pictures from Rando Cyclos at Sar Poteries in the Avesnois
region on Northern France. This event has been running for 21 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!
Pictured on the campsite at Felleries before setting off
for the Rando: David Stephensons's
