Who are we ?

Wild DOT is a French association which has been organizing wildly human cycling events since 2021!

The aim of our events is to make you “experience a journey and share emotions”. To do this, you have to be a little wild and adventurous but also open to meetings, exchanges and sharing. The perfect combo for Wild DOT: wild and human!

Wild DOT is..

…essential values

Respect for nature and others, conviviality, a taste for effort, perseverance and humility are values that Wild DOT wants to defend and transmit.

…a moral contract of integrity

No outside help! Participating in our events means committing to respecting the principles of autonomy and fairness between participants.

…territories and heritage

Our traces are worked and studied to highlight the natural, historical, cultural, gastronomic and religious heritage of the territories.

Pascal Chabanse

Cyclist and Wild DOT organizer

Playing outside, venturing into nature, running, jumping, climbing trees were the main activities of his childhood.
On a bike since the age of 6, Pascal uses it first for fun then to go to school, university, work and finally to explore France and its regions. Mountain biking will become one of his sporting passions when he discovers the Vosges massif. This encounter had an impact on him and led him to tirelessly travel the paths and single tracks of this pretty massif.

From 2018, he participated in several long distance races: French Divide and NorthCape4000. In 2020, he decided to organize the Tour du Massif Vosgien to discover this territory and share the emotions he feels there.

His motto: “The worst is never certain”

…with unconditional voluntary
and friendly support!
