Le 2e Tour de l’Eure Cyclotouriste

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The cycle tourists who took part in the 1st Tour de l’Eure in 1952 carried away a magnificent memory of green Normandy, with its smiling valleys, deep forests and picturesque sites. The Sport Touring Athletic Club of Pont-de-l’Arche, organizer of the outing, again invites friends of the bicycle, federated or not, to ride the two stages of Whitsun (24 and 25 May), on which they can admire the valleys of the Seine, the Risle, the Andelle, the Eure, the Iton and the Epte and the forests of Lyons, Gisors, Conches and Pont-de-l’Arche. It is not a competitive event but a great tourist outing. The first stage is 201 km and the second 176 km. The riders must not exceed 22 km/h, must follow itineraries chosen for their scenery and must check in at set controls, only after those controls have opened.]
