Go vélo Montréal Festival kicks off:
The Metropolitan Challenge, this Sunday, May 27, in Vaudreuil-Dorion!

Montreal, Thursday, May 24, 2018 - This Sunday, May 27, Vaudreuil-Dorion will welcome the participants of the 17^e edition of the Metropolitan challenge. Organized by Vélo Québec, This challenge kicks off the Festival Go vélo Montréal, a unique festival in America with a full week of cycling events and activities, including Tour la Nuit (June 1) and Tour de l’Île de Montréal (June 3).

Time for the first major cyclosportive event of the season!

The Défi métropolitain is an untimed event where each cyclist rides the distance of his or her choice, between 50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 km, while benefiting from unrivalled supervision. This year, the Défi visits the south-western tip of the metropolitan region, bordered by Ontario, the Outaouais River and the St. Lawrence River. Starting in Vaudreuil-Dorion, most of the route will be along the water's edge, via Pointe-des-Cascades, Les Cèdres and Coteau-du-Lac.

Vélo Québec would like to thank the municipalities along the route, as well as Cité-des-Jeunes de Vaudreuil-Dorion, start and finish point, and Saint-Polycarpe, host of the lunch stop.
