Whether you are an all-year-long thanksgiver, or are bitter you won't get to exceed your calorie budget on Aunt Suzanne's pies, if you are looking for a nice loop in Penniac, come and see this new trail "Hope Returns". As per its name, it now allows you to ride/walk/run the beautiful Hope trail (beginner friendly thanks to the hard work of rvc volunteers), and to make a loop to come back around. It even shares a section of the old decommissioned "Drunken clearcut" trail. It is flat, still rough but ridable, and what it lacks in distance, it abounds in charm.
