Challenge yourself as much as you want, depending on your level of fitness or energy, or your mood on the day of the event!
You can depart between 7 and 10 am.
Registration fees include a lunch at the rest stop (from 10 am until 2 pm)

Very undulating and densely forested, this sometimes demanding route winds through the land of mythical character Séraphin Poudrier, mainly the municipality of Pays-d'en-Haut. Here, the beauty of the countryside and charm of the villages is undeniable, especially on the periphery of Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson and Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard and their respective lakes. A wonderful cycling adventure!
