History
It is far from the time of flandrias or other motorbikes too farting in the village that pushed the Volunteers of the Foyer Rural de Castelnau de Lévis to create a motorbike-cross field under the aegis of Pierre VALAX dynamic volunteer.
The local mechanic Jacques MELOUS, also international champion of motorcycle cross, was at the origin of the mythical route of the AGS PUECH RAMPANT.
The motorcycle club started its first national event in 1968.
The volunteers decided to continue the tradition.
