Sand in Southern France
 

Hi all,

I live in the South of France (around the Carcassonne area), and I am heading off on a trip with my 3 compadres fairly soon through West Africa. In preparation, I would really really like to find some sand in the area that I can practice on. I have never ridden on sand before, so getting some basic skills on it would be useful (been riding for 25 years on roads), before heading off!

I wonder if there is anyone on the forum that might be able to offer some suggestions or advice on places to go in the area where I can really try my hand at it.

Many thanks,

James

Stating the obvious I know...........A BEACH ?

Beaches are for people, and authorities tend to get a bit stripy with motorcyclists using them :-(

Your best bet is to get in touch with your local bike or quad club who will probably know of good sandy off road stuff. There are some quaders who are involved in the French national sand racing championships, like "quadeursdusudouest" who have a website.They might know some practice courses.

Thanks Pongo
