French Connections

[steve88]

Hi there , anyone out there got any connections in france. After several excellent outings this year am trying to plan next years events for the year. Am particularly interested in La Pommeraye ,Hebecrevon and St Goueno dates. For those of you who have not been to france can thoroughly recommend these 3 hills especially. can only run as demo but get times and the hills are a lot longer and faster than our uk hills.(all between 2.5 to 3.2K) If anyone can help out with these dates would be very much appreciated

cheers flymo looks like goona be very expensive may well worth it tho especially st goueno its awesome at 3.2 k . have you done anything in france yourself

[jo white]

i/we are hoping to get over to France next year and give it a go,people tell me its a great time and very relaxed. check out St Goueno on you tube,

i reckon its more cost effective to relocate to france.
(in fact it might even be a viable option)

i've competed at Abreschviller, La Pommeraye, Vuillafans Echevannes, Mont Dore, Turckheim, Limonest and also been to Hébécrevon, La Broque and Beaujolais Villages. My favorite is Turckheim. 2km of open public road from the paddock to the start line then 6km of terror and finally an 8km return road which gives you plenty of time to come up with a good excuse why your time was so slow!

Or, why you ended up in a field.

But if the name fits!

Nope, i think you'll find he's got an ex-F3 Black and Decker complete with grass box and roller.

[steve88]

must be another flymo down south then you tube clip tagged as flymos westfield at wiscombe park. so what do you drive??

[b1ackcr0w]

As Grumpy said, he drives a Black & Dallara F3..... into fields, mostly.

[Flymo]

Thats a bit unfair. I did only bury it in the scenery once this year
