6th European Cade Raid at La Bresse, France. July from 6th to 9th of July 2012
The
Cade
Raid
was
held
this
year
in
the
picturesque
region
of
Alsas,
France
in
a
little
village
called
La
Bresse,
mainly
a
ski
resort.
There
were
15
Cavalcades
in
attendance
this
year.
One
only
came
for
the
Saturday,
has
they
live
over
the
border
in
Germany,
just
2
hrs
from
La
Bresse.
The
group
was
made
up
of
the
following
countries:
6
Belgium,
3
Netherlands,
3
German,
2
Norwegians and 1 British Cavalcades.
As
Usual
there
was
a
ride
out
on
the
Saturday
with
Sunday
being
another
ride
or
rest
day
if
preferred.
The
scenery
in
the
area
was
excellent and La Bresse is well worth a visit if your in that part of France.
The
site
had
camping
and
a
small
hotel,
a
restaurant
that
only
opened
at
breakfast
and
for
1½
hrs
in
the
evening
serving
only
burgers,
fish
fingers,
etc.,
that
meant
no
bar
after
8:30
pm.,
so
most
people
went
into
town
for
a
meal and a drink every day.
In
the
restaurant
on
the
Saturday
night
after
the
meal,
we
were
lead
into
a
sing
along
by
Geir
from
Norway
,
and
prompted
by
Leo
from
Holland,
there
was
a
rendition
of
Alice
and
I
don’t
have
to tell you the chorus do I.
I
would
like
to
thank
Yves
Rummens
for
all
the
hard
work
he
put
into
finding
this
site
and
for
organising
the
entire
weekend.
This
included
booking
a
hotel
near
his
home
taking
us
out
for
a
meal on the Thursday night and taking through a very interesting route to the Cade Raid.
