OBC Sunday Ride 26-05-03 - Gatineau (Lac des Fées)

Road Ride from the south end of Gatineau Park to points north and north-east.

Start Location : Parking du Lac des Fées

Bien venu à toutes et à tous au Québec! Remember: ONLY single-file riding in Quebec.

FYI: I have moved the Gatineau starts up the hill for a couple of reasons:

1. it removes the first immediate, substantial and unwelcome (for most) climb to get to P3 (Gamelin) and into the park;
2. It facilitates a faster exit out of Gatineau, to the north.

If you are cycling to the start, here's a pic with a couple of low-intensity routes to get there: Routes to P3 Gravel Parking Lot.jpg

The current weather forecast is unpleasant. Hopefully, it will improve. Don't forget that you can register for the ride, to express your interest, and if the weather ends up poor, cancel your registration.

Continue to dress for the weather.

Public Service Announcement: A start-of-season reminder that it is not really great form for a group to stop to use the toilet without a couple of members buying something. Also, bringing your own food into a restaurant is likely going to invite a reaction. :)

Bonne route!

REMINDER: all riders must have taken the OBC Group Riding Clinic to participate in group rides. Significant, current group riding experience can be acceptable in lieu; contact the event organizer to discuss.
