Due to reviews complaining about the condition of the trails, I tried to get thicker tires on my son's roadbike, but they didn't have any that could fit his frame, so we ended up renting a bike - a heavy mountain bike, which was advertised as a touring bike - not ideal, but we rolled with it. I prepped by reading all the tripadvisor reviews, which gave great information. What a privilege to wander through the heart of the forest, glide by lakes, and observe critters in the meadows! Marvellous. Memories to last a lifetime! We did a mama and son biking trip of 145km that has my son puffed up and feeling like Superman.
They all handled the mix of pavement and hard packed gravel fine. One person was on a road bike, the three others on hybrids. We probably could have added this to the previous day with little trouble, but decided to take the extra time to enjoy. The final day was a cruise down the hill from Ste Adele to St Jerome. There were still some very pretty areas and lots of wild raspberries. In addition to the hill a fair stretch twinned the highway and the bike path was much more heavily trafficked than the sections further north. There are places you could swim each of the three days.ĭay 3 - Mont Tremblant to Ste Adele, the least favourite day. The scenery was beautiful, a mix of trees and towns.
This was our favourite day, almost entirely flat and not heavily trafficked. They were only marked by the word "eau" in spray paint on the road.ĭay 2 - Nominingue to Mont Tremblant. There are outhouses and picnic tables at regular intervals (very clean) and we passed two places where water bottles could be refilled. The first half of the ride is a very slight incline, but quite easy. The most difficult part of the ride is leaving Mont Tremblant as there is a sustained incline until about a kilometre after St Faustin.ĭay 1 - forest from Mont Laurier to Nominingue. One person in the family cycles regularly and the three others cycle for fun. Two adults and two young teens rode the 200km from Mont Laurier to St Jerome over four days.
