Location
Track details
Dry loam is the ideal case: grippy, forms lines and forgives mistakes.
After rain loam turns heavy and sticky - knobs pack up and the bike feels noticeably heavier.
The track sits right at the Col de Saales on the N420, on the land of Colroy-la-Grande in the Vosges - a mountain-pass setting that dictates the operating rhythm: riding is on Sundays from 13:00 to 17:00 and a day costs 10 euros. The operator is Moto-Club Moto Loisirs Colroy, listed in some sources as Team LT 75. The ground is described as earth, and one detail from the club's own listing deserves attention: the terrain is reshaped every week. The venue has been in use since the late 1980s, and a children's track sits alongside the main course. A track that gets redrawn every week rewards nobody who rides from memory. Budget your first half hour as reconnaissance rather than as a warm-up - what was a rut last month can be a flat berm today. What catches you in the ruts once they have formed: the front knifes and oversteers. Top of our cause list is a fork that is too soft, rides too low and knifes into the rut - add compression.
