Montreal, Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - This Saturday, Sutton will welcome the cyclists of the Eastern Townships Challenge, A non-timed ride organized by Vélo Québec and presented by Mouvement Desjardins in collaboration with Formedica, Le Devoir, Tourisme Canton-de-l'Est and Les Producteurs de lait du Québec. The Défi des Cantons-de-l'Est begins (between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.) and ends (between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.) at Mont Sutton.
This end-of-season classic has it all.

Cyclists can stop off at the lunch stop in Brome Lake (Knowlton) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Each cyclist rides at his or her own pace for the distance of their choice: 50, 75, 100 or 150 km. At the end of their journey, participants are invited to meet at the Bistro. A relaxed atmosphere, music, highlights of the day and regional kiosks are all on the agenda.
