made it unsafe for him to continue riding, Alan is well aware of the
problems facing bikers when looking for accommodation. You can be sure
of a warm welcome with us and we also provide use of our garage, which
is located at the end of our property, and can be securley locked. A
key will be supplied to you for the duration of your stay. We can also
supply a selection of tools for minor repairs. If there is anything
major which needs to be done, there are several repair shops in the
surrounding areas.
World Motocross Championships 2006
Just like last year, the sun shone on
the last event of the Ernée season, the final round of the 2006 World
Championships. A crowd of just over 16500 were present to witness the
final Grand Prix event in the career of "the king" 33 year old Stefan
Everts of Belgium. With his new bike livery and clothing, Everts finished
his racing career by notching up his 101st GP win and winning a place
in the record books.
To the delight of the crowd, 18 year old French rider Christophe Pourcel claimed his 1st world MX2 title on the same day after a thrilling battle with Antonio Cairoli of Italy. British Champ Carl Nunn kept the flag flying for us expats by coming in fifth overall. Everts raced for the final time at the Motocross of Nations in England the next weekend and finished undefeated. The event was won for the 17th time by Team USA with Belgium coming 2nd and New Zealand 3rd.

2006. Taking place over the weekend of 20 - 22 July, Friday 20 and Saturday
21 are both free. The finals will be held on the Sunday and tickets

Information about biking in France
1. DRIVE ON THE RIGHT!
2. Make sure you have enough fuel, particularly on Sundays, Bank Holidays and late evening. Most garages are closed at these times unless you have a French bank card to 'pay at the pump'. 3. The recognised form of acknowledgement to other drivers in France is to put your foot out rather than a wave of the hand. 4. You can park virtually anywhere free of charge as long as you are not obstructing anything.
