Look around you, summer is almost here! If you're as crazy about cycling as we are at Studio Cycle Maglia Rosa , the first idea that came to mind for your holidays was "pedal, pedal, pedal!".
So, let's not jump on our handlebars just yet and let's see what the best places are to go on holiday on two wheels as a couple (you and your bike, of course).
Mountain biking? In mountain biking, there are some must-do activities that will make you sweat as much as they make you smile:
It's well known that Vallée Bras-du-Nord and mountain biking are a perfect match! Thanks to the quality of its trails, the area offers the best possible cross-country experience.
On one side, the Shannahan sector immerses you in a panorama with wild and grandiose appearances.
On the other hand, the Saint-Raymond sector offers a countryside ride just a few pedal strokes from the city. Don't hesitate, brave these singletracks nestled between two mountains, in a setting that nature has designed for experienced cyclists.
One last important point: the quality of the mountain huts in Vallée Bras-du-Nord is worth the trip alone.
Road cycling? If you're more the type to burn rubber, we also have some suggestions that will satisfy your need to devour the kilometers.
As its name (almost) suggests, our next route is in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. The Véloroute des Bleuets is a 256-kilometre cycling circuit that allows you to tour the region without dismounting.
In addition, the Véloroute offers you 3 associated networks totaling 130 kilometers of track to vary the pleasures.
If you are still not convinced, know that the Véloroute des Bleuets was a Gold Award winner at the 2014 Grand Prix du tourisme québécois, and that tourists from all over the world flock to Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean to enjoy this unique cycling experience.
Head to Ontario to discover the superb Sandbanks Provincial Park, and the roads that are full of pleasant surprises and landscapes to contemplate in slow motion, on your bike.
From the park, Route 12 is your starting point for a drive you'll remember for a long time. Lake Ontario, its beaches, vineyards, and countryside will set the rhythm of your day.
Forget about performance for a few moments and without thinking about it, simply live exceptional moments.
Do you like variety? Here is a route that will appeal to everyone, with very different paths to explore in a curious mood.
Built on a former railway line, the Bois-Francs Linear Park trail crosses the municipalities of Warwick, Saint-Christophe-d'Arthabaska, Victoriaville, Princeville, Plessisville and Laurierville, ending in Lyster.
Ahead of you, the 77 kilometers of cycle path blend countryside and city for an extraordinary ride.
Make your choice, put on your helmet and… enjoy the summer on your trusty bike!
