The XRM requires an attentive pilot, and prioritizes efficiency over outright comfort.

“Full Neilson” in the Vallée Bras-du-Nord near Quebec City is a classic amongst locals and visitors alike.

It's like the BC Bike Race, of the east! Racers start in Old Quebec, and finish seven days later at Mont-Sainte-Anne, right in time for the World Cup.

Le plus beau sentier de vbn et plutôt tranquille, section plus difficile sur le bord de la rivière.

Some of the best riding in Eastern Canada. Very technical and challenging in some sections with a nice bit of flow and some very picturesque views too. Highly recommended.
