I first had to visit Bushtukah for some bike fitting, then we tried going to Aylmer but it was drowned, so we pivoted and hit Pink!
Stopped for some tacos and sangría in Noche Maya, in Gatineau. The view of parliament was great!

This route offers a great workout with plenty of uphill sections, but the rewards are well worth it: breathtaking views and thrilling descents that can reach up to 60km/h!
For an added bonus, note that the National Capital Commission (NCC) typically closes roads to cars for much of the summer. Check out the Road Closure Schedule to plan your ride accordingly and enjoy a car-free experience.
While this ride can be quite demanding, even for experienced cyclists, it's certainly doable for newcomers with some training and preparation. We recommend bringing sugary snacks to avoid muscle soreness and staying away from the bunk!.
Gatineau Park itself is a world-class destination, and Pink Lake serves as an excellent starting point for exploring its many attractions.
