Participants in Les Lucioles d'Ambrussum, whether riding or walking, must have adequate lighting before departing the LRM quarries in Lunel. This evening off-road event, organized by Lunel Bike in Hérault, offers options for mountain biking, gravel riding, walking, Nordic walking, cani-cross, and cani-VTT, distinguishing it from a typical road race.
The courses typically feature a sporty VTT route of approximately 24 to 28 km, a discovery VTT route of about 13 to 15 km, a 36 km self-supported gravel ride navigated via GPX track, and a 10 km walking path. The challenging VTT route is intended for experienced cyclists, while the discovery ride welcomes families and newcomers to night riding. Reflective markers, volunteers, and club members guiding the start and end of the routes ensure participants stay on track. Simple club hospitality concludes the event, including hot soup, sausages, beer, and a participant gift.
