Rando Téléthon Mézidon Vallée d'Auge is a small charity cycling randonnée held at the Salle de la Loco in Mézidon Vallée d'Auge, Calvados, France. It is associated with the Téléthon and typically occurs in early December. Participants contribute through a modest entry fee or voluntary donation, not a costly race package. The event is relaxed and inclusive, with road and gravel riders participating on the same day. Mountain bike routes are sometimes offered.
The routes are short and gently undulating, with choices around 30 km featuring approximately 100 m of elevation gain, or 40 km with about 130 m of climbing. This suggests a social ride at a moderate pace rather than a demanding endurance event. Past information indicates a group road departure at 10 AM, while another listing mentions a 9:30 AM start; participants should verify current organizer details. The key takeaway is straightforward: this is local cycling for a cause, organized from a single meeting point, offering road, gravel, and occasional VTT options.
