Motocross Saint Christol d'Albion

The track on the Plateau d'Albion belongs to MC Racers Club d'Albion, listed by MX Circuit with president Florent Ledig and a landline as the contact. The course measures 2080 metres and is between 6 and 12 metres wide; the directory describes the ground as natural, stony earth. The site has water, electricity, toilets with showers and a wash bay, plus a children's track alongside the MX circuit. Motorcycles, dirt and pit bikes and sidecars are permitted, and an FFM licence is mandatory. A riding day costs 15 euros; on a first visit a 15 euro joining fee is added and the day itself then costs 5 euros, with the fifth and tenth riding day free. The two directories disagree on the opening date: MX Circuit names the first weekend of every month, MXC40 the fourth, both Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 12 and from 13:30 to 18:00. MXC40 lists the site as Terrain de la Grange Neuve and additionally mentions catering on site; both pages advise calling before you travel, because the dates shift with the weather. Stony natural ground barely gives way: grip comes from the tyre's contact patch here, not from a worn-in rut, and the front wheel often reports back very little on a surface like this. Our records also hold a fast, technical character, so you spend a lot of time leaned over at speed. When the front feels vague, top of our cause list is too much pressure up front - drop it a few tenths before your first laps so the front tyre puts more rubber on the ground.
