The Adventure
Offroad or on the road, come and discover the landscapes of Haute-Loire!
Event open to trail motorcycles, maxi-trails, electric, sidecars (select the "offroad motorcycle" profile when registering), road motorcycles (select the "road motorcycle" profile when registering).
Because historically the name “La Vercingétorix” for our Auvergne event speaks to more people and also because it is a nice name, we wanted to come back to it. Its content remains similar to "Rock'n'Trail" 2024, with some changes to the tracks.
For what types of motorcycles?
The Vercingétorix offroad motorcycle version is primarily designed for maxi-trails, i.e. big machines with large displacements and great comfort. The trails are also perfectly suitable. It is also possible with lighter, small-displacement or enduro-type motorcycles, provided of course that you remain in total compliance with the Regulations (particularly regarding the noise of the machine!). “Vintages”, sidecars and electric motorcycles are also welcome!The road motorcycle version is open to all road bikes, provided that the rider is in tourist ride mode.
The program
The 2-day version meeting takes place on Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. You are welcomed by the staff, and you soak up the atmosphere with dinner if you have taken the option depending on your planned arrival time. Each morning the departure is given after the briefing at 8:30 a.m., in small groups of 5 or 6 motorcycles maximum regulated by the staff to avoid the "herd" effect. If all goes well you are off for a good day of riding and are back by the end of the afternoon.
What does the course look like?
For the offroad motorcycle version: you have the choice between 2 mixed courses (road/path): the "Adventure" course circumvents the biggest difficulties to stay on rolling and easy paths, accessible even for the first turns of the wheels on offroad, the “Extrême” course offers some additional sensations without being inaccessible. The 100% bitumen course is also available and can serve as a fallback solution in the event of fatigue or bad weather.The motorcycle road registration offers you 100% asphalt tracks, ranging from beautiful rolling winding roads to very small country roads, and offers you a mileage of between 230 and 300 km per day.
