Centretown Gravel - Saturday, Sep 27, 10 AM - Trail 50 Ride

Hello riders,

Planning a long ride out and back on trail 50 in Gatineau Park. It's a great trail, really nice double track for a long stretch, and we'll be riding it both ways 😄

There will be more technical sections on our way to trail 50 and a little bit of technical on trail 56 between Lac Taylor and Eardley Rd.

Fry truck w/ drinks at the midpoint to refuel but obviously bring lots of water and snacks for this one.

This is a pretty ambitious route elevation wise but how I'm thinking about it is it's mostly downhill after the 2nd summit at the ~63km mark. Only 360m of elevation gain after that point.
