Centretown Gravel - Friday, Aug 22, 5:30 PM - Carbide Wilson Ruins Ride
Gatineau Parkway last fall

Hey folks,

Planning a ride into Gatineau Park for Friday evening. Mostly paved to O'Brien, then following trails to the ruins, and M.O. trail past that. This turns into the Larrimac trail which is a mountain bike trail and might have rock gardens and/or require some downhill hike-a-bike. But it's a short section and after that just chill rail trail back into town.

We also likely need to detour around some construction at the entrance to the park. Bring lights in case we come back later 🔦
