L'Esprit M is on the move for Pink October. Help us drive back breast cancer by taking care of your body, by adopting preventive gestures and making a donation to the Le Ruban Rose association.

Join L'Esprit M

Our aim is to help reduce the incidence of breast cancer by spreading the message and promoting your physical well-being, in a festive atmosphere that's not obsessed with results or performance.

Roll for Pink Ribbon

For L'Esprit M, riding for the Pink Ribbon means showing solidarity and continuing our commitment to the role of women in the world of motorcycling (in the same way as riding for the DGR, against testicular and prostate cancer). On October 6, 2024, we're organizing a motorcycle ride to celebrate the freedom to ride, the freedom to live our passion for motorcycling.

Riding with L'Esprit M means making a donation

We'll be asking you to contribute €25.00 per helmet, all of which will be donated to the Ruban Rose association to help in the fight against breast cancer.

Schedule for the morning of driving

09h30

Welcome coffee coffee (or tea) and croissant.

10h00

12h00

Lunch from 25 people (reservation required!): we can set up a convivial meal at L'Esprit M, specially prepared by Christophe our Chef (starter, main course and dessert for €25).

Pink October & The Pink Ribbon

Pink October

In France, breast cancer is still the leading cancer in women in terms of the number of new cases (around 49,000) and deaths (11,900). Unfortunately, these figures are not decreasing. Yet, detected at an early stage, breast cancer can not only be cured in over 90% of cases, but also treated with less aggressive therapies.

Le Ruban Rose association

Association loi 1901 Ruban Rose is a non-profit organization created in 1994. It has two main missions: to support research and to inform and raise awareness of breast cancer. To this end, it launches information campaigns, organizes events and distributes awareness kitskits, etc.

Prevention, the first battle against (breast) cancer

early detection & mammography

Despite advances in treatment, early detection is still one of the most effective weapons in the fight against breast cancer. Remember to get yourself screened, have a baseline mammogram from the age of 40 and then have it renewed regularly. From the age of 50, join the organized breast cancer screening program set up by the public authorities every 2 years.

Prevention at every age, in the privacy of your home

Self-palpation, the little gesture that saves! And since laughing and/or singing helps us remember the right reflexes... here's a reminder by Gérémy Crédeville. Many thanks to him! Share this video without moderation!

The Femmes et Moto association

Femmes et moto is an association that contributes to the evolution of the place of women in the world of motorcycling.

The association was born in 2022 under the impetus of Alice, the president, who wanted to offer a motorcycle festival exclusively for women. She wanted to offer, in France, as she had experienced in Germany and Italy, a time of gathering far from judgments and comparisons, where it's possible to share one's fears, as well as one's exploits.

Representing 20% of driving licenses, women need female role models in the motorcycle world, peer exchange and sisterhood.

Femmes & Moto and L'Esprit M

It's a story that began two and a half years ago, when a number of our members started coming to L'Esprit M - Bar Resto moto, for a drink and an aperitif. Our discussions then led to our first collaboration. As a result, a day dedicated to female motorcyclists was held on March 1, 2023. On the program: mastering standing mobility around the motorcycle, how to get your bike up after a fall, taking part in a mecha-tutorial on the braking system, how to fill in a report in partnership with Mutuelle des Motards.

L'Esprit M - Motorcycle trip to Femmes et Moto Camp 2024!

Here we are, less than a week away from the second edition of Femmes et Moto & Camp.

For me, it will be the first. I'll be there with my sister, as exhibitors, delighted to talk to you about L'Esprit M - Voyage à moto, the company I run, but also about travel in general. I'll be doing a workshop on preparing and loading your travel kit. In the evening, we'll also be there as participants, happy to be able to share and exchange views on our practices as bikers, and not only!

Let's play a motorcycle apéro game

Let's play a motorcycle apéro game

Let's play a motorcycle party game. The first 100% motorcycle party game: Ride' Trippers. Pure pleasure, fun and general motorcycle knowledge.

Who's behind Ride' Trippers

" The Pilot is me!
The reason I created this game is not because I'm a fast driver, but because, short of setting times, I wanted to put some gas in your life! "

The game's creator? LILY Motarde & Pistarde!

" I'm Lily, and you may have come across me on social networks, on my blog or on other platforms under the name "Talons et Guidon". When it comes to democratizing the role of women in motorcycling, I'm always hands-on. Whether it's my sports bike on the track, my roadster for road trips or my Cafe Racer for strolling around vintage car or motorcycle shows, I always have a good reason to get equipped. What I like most of all is to share and pass on my passion through the various events I organize every year.
It was during some of these events that I came up with the idea of a 100% motorcycle card game!

Heels & Handlebars and L'Esprit M

We discovered Alyson on the networks (insta Talons et Guidon), then had the chance to see her in real life at the motorcycle show, and that's where the magic happened! Marjolaine and Alison were unstoppable! Sharing experiences, know-how and anecdotes, they were a real pleasure to listen to (dixit Pierre-Christophe).

And so, quite naturally, L'Esprit M has added the Guide des motardes and the Ride' Trippers game!

Let's play a motorcycle apéro game? Yes, but how?

Do you love motorcycling? Riding with your biker buddies? Laughing and making fun of them when they're out riding? Do you think you can answer all the questions about this world? Then this is the game for you!

The motorcycle game concept

The idea is to test your general knowledge of motorcycling while having a laugh! Enjoy it on a roadtrip, a track day or a cross-country day, between two acrobatic tricks in a parking lot, or even over a drink with your buddies (after the ride!). Ride' Trippers is a simple game, made up entirely of cards, with clear rules and no limits on the number of players. As long as you can read, anyone can play... even if you're slow on the bike!

From age 10, minimum of 3 drivers to start a game (and 72 to finish!). Approx. 30 min. of unlimited repetition.

130 cards of pure pleasure

Three types of cards to get the handles and brains turning: the "Handlebars" are for questions about riders, events, competitions, important people, etc.... Engine" questions are about motorcycles or mechanics. And last but not least, the "Tools" section is for pledges, brakes or, on the contrary, nudges aimed at yourself or other players.

Will you be "Biker of the Year" if you're first past the chequered flag, or the circuit's "Leek" if you're dead last? Either way, who cares? The aim is to have fun!

Part One

Let's play a motorcycle party game together!

When: Thursday, October 17, 2024 from 6:30pm (then every two months)
Where: at L'Esprit M (Bar Restaurant & Motorcycle Travel Agency in Valence)!
How: partly collective

L'Esprit M - Bar Resto moto during the game

The Esprit M - Bar Resto moto team will be with you every step of the way. Drinks include local beers, local wines and house cocktails. The menu also includes carefully selected softs and house mocktails designed and created by our barman. And if you're feeling a bit peckish, you'll enjoy our famous platters of regional specialities (charcuterie, cheese, mixed, vegan). To finish on a sweet note, you can try our homemade brownie, if you feel like it!
