Preview: 2016 French Enduro Series Round 3
We’ve been welcomed into the ‘Nature Games’ for this round of the French Enduro Cup. The Nature Games is a festival which features events like kayaking, rock climbing, dirt jumping, and more. It also hosts the third round of the French Enduro Series.
Millau is in the South of France, in the Midi-Pyrenees. It’s surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful greenery, quite a contrast to last weekend’s alpine race in Val d’Allos. The town has been taken over by tents, cars and tourists for the week’s events. The warm weather has brought in the crowds here.
As with all the French Enduro Rounds practice is forbidden until Saturday, so today riders slowly arrived in town and registered for the race.

Millau.
The river was a hive of activity today in the boiling hot sun.
For everyone and everything.
Amazing, long, winding streets.
A historic town with fantastic old buildings.
Today the course maps were released.
The trails are spread to all sides of the town, with big liaison stages in between.
Anne-Caroline Chausson is back here at this race, taking it easy but really struggles to keep away from these types of events. An interview with Anne will be coming soon so keep your eyes peeled.
Riders registration started today at 6.
