There are times when even dedicated cyclists need to just go for a walk or a run. Sunflower Cycling couldn't be better positioned for such times. Located on a trailhead of France's extensive randonneur network, you can walk, run, mountain bike or ride a horse to just about anywhere you wish without ever having to take a motorized road. The trails are well-marked and roll on for what seems like forever. One possible destination might be the most amazing little eclectic restaurants in the region. It's owned and operated by a friend of ours and is located in our village, just a short walk through the woods from our house. By the way, if you do take the River Walk, our dog, Dakota, would love to go with you. She'll happily show you the path to the Ariège where she regularly swims.

The Trailhead at Our DoorSunflower Cycling is located at the end of a restricted gravel road. It's the beginning, however, of an unending network of trails through some of the most incredible country you could imagine.

Single-Track & SolitaryAll trails are maintained and marked by the Sicoval. The person responsible for our area keeps his horse at our neighbor's farm. His crew, understandably, does an excellent job of keeping the trails assessable throughout the year.

Under the Trees, Out of the SunAlmost the entire French randonneur network traverses private property. Fields between farms are not fenced but are separated by hedge rows or woods and in those separations lie the trails.
