QBC Level 2 - Gatineau Park Loop
- Date
- June 22, 2026 — 6:45 PM
If weather cooperates!
A 32 km loop: bike lanes to Portage bridge, Sentier des Voyageurs to Gatineau Park, climb Trail 5 to de la Mine, down the Hautes-Plaines MUP to the Gatineau river MUP, past Lac Leamy onto Sentier des Voyageurs to Alexandra bridge and down Colonel By MUP. We're aiming for 25 km/h on the roads. The route has 290m of climb, almost all in the first 40% of the ride.
This is one of our Level 2 Rides: longer and faster rides focused on building fitness and endurance, with a social time after the ride for those who’d like to join. Routes are marginally more challenging and, aside from a quick regroup after any particularly challenging segments, will not have breaks. If you're consistently averaging more than 20 km/h on Strava, these rides could be a good fit for you; and in the event that you can't hold the pace, catch up when you get a second wind or self-drop and join us at the finish or another time.
Bring: lights; water; snacks if you need 'em. Dress for the weather. Wear a helmet.
