Randonnée des Chocards is a November event in Yffiniac, Côtes-d’Armor, Brittany, offering separate routes for mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and walkers. Participants start from Rue André Malraux between 08:00 and 09:45, with the finish expected around noon. The format is straightforward: select a distance, follow the marked course, and spend the morning with a predominantly local group. Adults pay a modest entry fee, while those under 18 participate without charge.
The mountain bike routes range from 12 km to 50 km. Gravel riders have a 65 km course, and walkers can opt for 10 km or 14 km. Previous years have attracted hundreds, including substantial numbers of mountain bikers and walkers, even during rainy conditions late in the morning. Organized by A C Yffiniac, the event is part of the Fête des Chocards, which includes a funfair, dinner dance, flea market, and food stalls. New walking routes have been positively received, confirming its status beyond just a cycling event with a walking component.
