The Bourg-en-Bresse Half, 1984 - Annecy-Spiridon was born on February 22nd 1984, and the first time we went to a race together was on March 10th. Two cars were enough to transport the "spiridonians": Yvette, François, and Mike Rossy, Simone and Jean-Louis Siron, Alain Rigat, Pierre Cabireau, Jean Michallon and Roger Pradel.
First success which we want to share with all the "spiridonians". On Saturdays, to drive to Bourg, avoid at all costs the usual route between Bellegarde and Nantua! Especially now that long-distance lorries are allowed to drive through the Ain département! Do not hesitate to use secundary roads such as our route: Annecy-Val de Fier-Belley-Les Hôpitaux-Ambérieux-Pont d'Ain.
Thanks to posters stuck on cars, we can meet members or future members: there is J.-Y. Le Bescont, Odette Roig, Roger Magne. Race bibs, warm-up, advice to the "greenhorns", contacts with the friends of the clubs of Annecy, and with our friends of the nearby spiridon-clubs of Savoy: Maistrello, Guipponi.
The event, in Bourg, is always so well organized, the route is nice and hilly, no problem with overheating: the cold wind slowed down the runner but insured his ventilation!
Each one ran according to one's objective, with full success. The palm goes to the treasurer, Jean Michallon, for his first race - regularity and lucidity. There is still suscribers to Spiridon who run too impetuously!
The results are in Spiridon and in No 1 of Annecy-Spiridon in June.
Thanks to André Berry, of Spiridon-Club Rhône-Alpes, who came greet us before the general assembly of his Spiridon-Club. Roger Pradel, in Spiridon N°73 in April-May, 1984 p.69 Bourg-en-Bresse, mars 1984...
