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.

    Anticosti

    When you venture on the less traveled roads of the backcountry, sometimes, the beautiful road becomes much more bumpy than what was predicted. The asphalt becomes gravel, and the gravel literally becomes an off-road trail. It is for this kind of adventure that the Anticosti was created. The Anticosti bike is built with a custom selection of Reynolds 725 steel tubing, tapered where necessary to reduce weight. For this generation, the geometry has been revised (shorter seat tube length and slightly slackened steer angle) and the new shaped chainstays offer more clearance to the rear tire. This bike is ready for a quick gravel loop, or a more ambitious multi-day trip. *Frameset comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors.

    Chic-Chocs 2024

    ***Slightly used demo available! Check here for details. 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!

    Katahdin

    The first generation of the Katahdin has proven itself both in races, gravel events and in bikepacking trips. For its second iteration, the Katahdin gets a makeover with progressive gravel geometry and new features to make it even more versatile. A relaxed 70deg steering angle, longer reach, 75mm bb drop and 430mm chainstays increase the wheelbase of the bike and place the rider in a stable and comfortable position. The goal is less fatigue, and more speed for long outings and / or races. The internal cables for an adjustable seat post, the fork adapted to the use of a dynamo hub, a threaded bottom bracket shell and all the mounts necessary to install bags and accessories are among the features of the Katahdin. The frame is dressed with the Hunt wheels fitted with Maxxis Rambler tires, as well as the Shimano GRX 12 speed groupsets (offered in 1x or 2x), which make for a versatile and efficient bike.
