The 2nd national IMRG France meeting took place under the sunny sky of Dax, Southwestern france, with over 300 bikers attending from all over the country, Riding solo or pillion on their roadmaster, chief or scout.The beauty of this meeting in Dax is its unique combination of passion for the brand, rides in the mountains or along the ocean, and great Blues and other concerts by the many artists that sign up for the Motors’n’Blues Festival.
Riders first got together on the Friday night, forming a huge parade and touring round the city’s streets. Then they headed over to the Arènes park to enjoy a massive paella for dinner – a reminder of Dax’s cultural proximity to Spain, just an hour and a half’s drive away.
On Saturday there was a big ride through the Basque Country, stopping for lunch at the Osquich Pass around tables laden with local specialties. Riders were treated to some breathtaking vistas along the route, which took them into the Pyrenées up to the Iraty pass and then redescended on a winding road to the village of Larau.
Back in the valley, the groups returned to Dax for a night of partying. Festivities included the presentation of numerous awards to the presidents of Riders’ Groups as well as for the most deserving attendees, some of whom had traveled over 1,000 km to take part in this 2nd meeting.
See you in 2019 !
