Sammie Dubeau - Ultracycling

By Sammie Dubeau

Riding from New York City to Quebec City in 3 days. A dream come true that's become a tradition every year since 2021! Ultra-cycling has always been a passion for me. I enjoy cycling from one city to another. Since moving to NYC, my first idea was to cycle home. The success of this journey led me to sign up for an ultra-cycling race in 2022, which was a great success! I'm going to share with you some tips on how to prepare for these ultra-cycling projects. I didn't always have the confidence to do these routes on my own, fearing I wouldn't be self-sufficient. Joining a cycling team and successfully completing smaller challenges helped me build the confidence to bring my dreams to life!

La Maison des cyclistes: a unique cycling hub

The Maison des cyclistes is located a stone's throw from Parc La Fontaine, where two of Montreal's most important bicycle paths intersect. In addition to Vélo Québec's offices, it features a bicycle travel agency, a boutique and a café, where Vélo Mag conferences are held.

The Maison des cyclistes is a space for services, exchanges, information and troubleshooting for cyclists, and is a project financed under the Agreement on the cultural development of Montreal between the Ville de Montréal and the Government of Quebec.
