Bike races France

It was in 2002, after having been on one of the steps of the Four Days in Dunkirk, that the mayor of Hellemmes puts himself in the lead of providing his own commune of cycling (for newcomers, know that a critérium refers to sporting events that are not championships!) After many discussions and a first race organized in 2003 in the form of a "gentleman" (understanding a race where a cyclist is interviewed the time of the journey), the first criterium hellemmois is finally organised in 2004. And over the years, it has become an essential part of the cycling landscape. Indeed, it is one of the only championships still organised in France, making it a very popular event of national and international cyclists. The Golden Handlebar is a journey that the athletes will take the tour 25 times… that is 35 km! But the Golden Handlebars is first and foremost a great, family-run holiday. Animations start at 14 pm on Hentgès Square. Workshops for the practice of cycling, space dedicated to the conduct of original and fun equipment, a baby-bike circuit, BMX track, initiation, initiation… A family run is also organised in the streets of Hellemmes. It allows you to discover the city and meet its traders (whose Union is co-organizer of the event with Hellemmes Organisation Cycling and the Town Hall!) A 16 h 45, the first championships start for the women riders, the small and the senior. At 18 p. m. and for 45 min, visitors can, if they wish, ride on the course of the race. And at 19 p. m., it's the launch of the real Gold Handlebar that celebrated in 2017 its 15 years (eh the idea was born in 2002) to see the race, to take the street Roger Salengro, near the metro station Mairie d'Hellemmes. A family feast that places cycling in honour: The Golden Handlebar is an event not to be missed for all lovers of the Little queen!

In 2018, this is the 17 ^th edition of Bik 'Saulx! Would you like to discover the Saulx Valley differently? Why not do it in ATV? With steep paths, on the road or through the forests, the association "Sports and Discovery to Jean d 'Heurs" proposes to join you to participate in this sporting event which is intended to be warm and whose objective is not to win, but to make fun. Several courses are designed so that everyone can find their account. You can choose from 20 to 55 km. The departure takes place from the Stables of Jeand 'Heurs to Lisle-en-Rigault. Don't forget your bikes!

Before the Grand Loop, the Front Tower is a festive, convivial, 87-km tour that gives rise neither to timing nor to classification. It is open to all cyclists from 18 years of age, made redundant or not. For this third edition, the cyclismes clubs of Albertville and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne propose to climb the Col de la Madeleine and its 1600 m distance by passing into sumptuous landscapes.

It is in Balagne and more precisely in Ile Rousse, located in its heart, that will take place the festival of cycling and mountain biking with the final round of the French Cup Enduro MTB. This race, which brings together 400 pilots, is the result of a partnership between the Intercommunal Office of Tourism Isula and the club Muntagna Bikes Balagne created in 2019. There are already more than 200 kilometers of routes that have been traced in the beautiful landscapes of the Balagne. A stage not to be missed that can even be done with the family!

What sporting event mobilizes the crowds along the roads every summer? The Grande Boucle, of course, now in its ^111th year. The Tour de France last visited Lot-et-Garonne in 2017. The 2024 route includes 2 stages in the département. Thursday, July 11, will start in Aurillac and finish in Villeneuve-sur-Lot. The following day, the riders will set off again from Agen towards Pau. A great moment of popular jubilation ahead, with a sports village and Tour caravan.

Critical mass

Also organized by the bicycle rally, these cycling events began in San Francisco in 1992 before spreading around the world. They aim to promote cycling and active modalities and denounce the place and nuisance caused by cars in our society.

International-level cyclosportive. Over 4,000 participants expected between Tarascon-sur-Ariège and Les Cabannes via the Ariège passes, Croix des Morts, Pailhères and Chioula. Four routes (from 69 km to 169 km): this year there's even the Ariègeoise XXL! Most of the three routes take place in the Pays d'Olmes, crossing the Plantaurel massif, the foothills of the Ariège Pyrenees. The 153 km Ariegeoise course has gone down in history as "La cyclosportive des Pyrénées". The finish is at Les Cabannes. The total vertical drop is 3,128 m!

The idea of mountain biking in the city was born in 1995 with Bike in Lyon. 29 years later, the Lyon Free Bike is a not-to-be-missed event, with over 8,000 mountain bikers criss-crossing the streets of Lyon on a course that changes with each edition, with loops for all levels. It's a family-friendly event where everyone can find a course to suit their level: from the XL to the Discovery course, not forgetting the Rouler pour elles solidarity ride, open to men, to fight women's cancers.

The Roule ma Poule operation is a day dedicated to cycling organized by the Saône Doubs Bresse tourist office in partnership with the San-Martin cycling club. Three cycling tours are on offer, with approximately 30, 60 or 80 km on the 2024 program. The routes are open to all, for young and old, amateurs and experienced cyclists alike, and are well signposted, with no major difficulties in this generally flat area. Catering and a variety of entertainment round off the day's program, providing a little comfort for the less hardy.

Cycling fans know that December 26 is the Sarrebourg cyclo-cross! And this has been the case for generations of cyclists. So, on Boxing Day, it's pedal to the metal in Sarrebourg. The event sees some 150 riders from all over Lorraine, Alsace and beyond compete against each other along a sporting course with obstacles and traps. The 2.5 km circuit alternates between rolling and pedestrian sections, with planks, stairs, an incline...
