Bikepacking - Microadventure

Fatbike trip on the shores and beaches of Baie-des-Chaleurs

Gaspésie! Why should I go through these hundreds of kilometers to get to you? !!! There are these kinds of places we would rather have in our backyard , don’t you think?

Gaspésie is so beautiful with its rugged terrain, crystal-clear water and the beautiful Chic-Chocs mountains. This peninsula is without any doubts one of the most “fattable” places in the province of Quebec and there are so many opportunities to fatbike 12 months a year.

We planned this 2 days microadventure to explore the Baie-des-Chaleurs, more precisely the area where the Cascapedia flows into the bay. We decided to focus our expedition to explore the beaches and shores, which are easily accessible and are also an extraordinary place for a night under the stars.

Without being in very remote area, this expedition gave us the impression to ride for days without seeing anyone. This feeling of loneliness is so valuable, it is at the source of this deep connection with nature and with its elements that we establish during a bikepacking trip.

    Forillon

    * New bike. Only size small left. Please refer to the component list for specifications. The Forillon is your best ally for cycling around the world. It is designed to be ridden efficiently on a variety of road types, while remaining stable and easy to handle when loaded with all your luggages. It's easy to see why the family behind the Terra Tributa project made these their bikes of choice for their nomadic lifestyle. Strength and reliability are highlighted in the choice of components. The 36 spokes double walled with reinforced eyelets rims paired with 700x44mm tires and the Microshift transmission offering an immense speed range of 585% are perfect examples. The Reynolds 525 steel tubeset as well as the 4130 steel fork have been selected to maintain excellent stiffness once the bags and panniers are added. Features such as the addition of extra spokes mounts, integrated kickstand plate, multiple mounts for bottles, front and rear racks and fenders make this a true Swiss Army knife for on-the-go travel bike.

    Chic-Chocs 2024 – Demo

    Some demo units available. All in excellent 9-9.5/10 condition. The Chic-Chocs has proven its abilities over the past few years in endurance races and winter expeditions. Whether it's for the Raid du Fjord, the Wendigo Ultra, or riding with confidence on groomed trails, the Chic-Chocs delivers. A stable geometry with a long wheelbase increases traction and flotation on soft surfaces. In addition, the Chic-Chocs is designed with a 205mm q-factor, the narrowest available for use with tires up to 5" wide. Not to be overlooked for an ergonomic position. Two Shimano drivetrains available with RaceFace cranksets and cockpit. Quality SunRingle rims and hubs (ready for -30degC!), and studdable tires that can be easily converted tubeless complete the package. Throw on some 29x3" wheels when the snow melts, and you've got a 4-season bike ready for backcountry bikepacking trips!
