This August we're partnering with Quebec Velo de Montagne (QVDM) - the NEMBA of Quebec - to bring our members a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With their impressive network of trails for all tastes and levels, the five destinations of the greater Quebec City region are a must for all mountain biking enthusiasts.
What to Expect:
- Location: We will be based for the weekend in the heart of the valley at the Vallée Bras-du-Nord, Accueil Shannahan, an outdoor destination less than an hour from Quebec City with mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and canyoning.
- Tent Camping: Base camp will be Camping Shannahan, located at the foot of the Falaises Mountains, 300 meters from Accueil Shannahan.
- Mountain Biking: Quebec's premier outdoor destination, the Vallée Bras-du-Nord features 100 km of mountain bike trail for two great days of riding for beginners and experts alike. Riding features a seamless blend of flowy singletrack and exhilarating terrain. Trails plunge you into the boreal forest, along vertiginous cliffs, rivers, waterfalls and cascades. On Sunday, participants will drive to Empire 47, just 20 minutes from downtown Quebec City, with more than 50km of singletrack for all style from beginner to double diamond expert trails.
