Randonnée VTT d'Automne is a mountain bike ride starting from the Gymnase de Méreau, located at 25 Rue de l'Arnon in Méreau, central France. Participants begin from 8:30 AM, with registration open until 9:30 AM. The event concludes around 1:00 PM. This is a free-pace randonnée, not a timed race, open to both licensed and non-licensed cyclists.
The organizer, Union Sportive Méreau Vélo, provides three VTT routes: 22 km, 40 km, and 55 km. Adults pay a modest entry fee, with reduced rates for licensed participants. Riders under 18 participate free with a license and pay a reduced fee without one. Helmets are required, and all participants must adhere to the highway code, indicating a local club ride on shared roads or public paths rather than a closed competition course.
