Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Treat yourself to an escape that combines gourmet moments and adventure cycling across 230 km of gravel roads through the Eastern Townships. Spread over 3 days and 2 nights, this itinerary invites you to ride through a variety of landscapes—from fields and forests to gravel trails and scenic mountain views.
Starting from Sutton, embark on this first day of adventure, covering 85 km before reaching your base camp at Yamaska National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass by some of the region’s most iconic peaks: Mount Sutton, Mount Brome, and Mount Shefford. Despite the mountainous surroundings, the route remains manageable for experienced cyclists. A few paved bike paths—including the renowned Estriade of the Yamaska Cycling Network—add a touch of smoothness between gravel sections, and there’s no shortage of tasty stops to enjoy between the Brome-Missisquoi and Granby areas!
