[IHPVA] HPV week in Allegre, July 12th-20th 2008, France

[Jean-Charles Gosselin]

Hello everybody,
We would like to inform you that we are organizing an HPV touring event in
Allegre, Haute-Loire, France from Saturday 12h to Sunday 20th of July, 2008.
This year will be the 7th edition and there will still be new things to see
and new scenic roads to ride.

The event is free. People arrive and leave when they want, choose the camp
site or stay at the hostel or B&B, take part to the small or long tour, ride
alone, go walking or watch TV if they don't feel like doing anything.
TOURS
- Small tours length around 50 km (30 miles)
- Long tours are around 80-120 km (50-75 miles)
- we generally go for a gastronomic tour in the week.

BUILDER'S CORNER
As there are quite a few people interested in building they own HPV, we have
a builder's corner settled in a garage at the Chateauneuf's gite (1.5 km
from Allegre). Sometimes, after a good night of work, we see new machines
riding in the tours !

PICTURES
Here are a few pictures taken in Allegre's area:

Eating the stange "living" cheese is not compulsory to be the one of us (at
least, you are allowed to remove the outside!).

ACCOMODATION
Here are the accomodation and facilities in Allegre. There is no need to
register for the camp site.

You can also contact us if you need help or details.

INFORMATION
This year, the eldest France-HPV member, Lucien Manicacci, 81 year old, will
be partiicpating in the small tours.
Most of the time, we are some 40 to 60 people with recumbents, tandems,
foldables, mountain bikes... In 2006, with the venue of the World
championships, we were up to 120 people touring at the same time.

We are looking forward to riding with you.

Best Regards,
Jean-Charles Gosselin
France-HPV
