Centretown Gravel - Saturday, July 26, 9 AM - Wakefield Ride

Hello riders,
I am planning a longer ride for Saturday morning up to Wakefield through Gatineau Park. We'll hop off the Parkway before the Pink Lake climb, go past Chelsea to Meech Lake, then hop onto the trails around Harrington Lake and Lac Philippe. These start more technical but the trail 50 stretch after we turn towards Lac Philippe is not bad.
Bring water, snacks, and other supplies. We can stop at P3 or Chelsea and will stop in Wakefield to refuel. No refuels in between unless you bring a water filter. Reply if you have any questions!
Anyone reading Mike Woods blogs while he's riding the Tour de France? Pretty interesting - https://michaelwoods.cc/blog/
