Destination pour la longue fin de semaine : région de la centrale Toulnustouc, et de la rivière portant le même nom. Je me mets en mode exploration, question de voir s’il n’y a pas une façon de déterminer une route potentielle de bikepacking dans cette région. Je ne m’attendais pas à autant!
Ce sont d’immenses terres de la couronne, donc libres d’accès pour rouler et camper. Les superbes spots de camping abondent sur les bords de rivières et lacs. Attention aux présences soutenues d’ours, loups, lynx et autres…alors les mesures préventives (bangers/spray/nourriture) étaient de vigueur!
On doit aimer les côtes pour aller là, parce que ce sont de vraies montagnes russes avec des pentes de 8-16% sans répits! Nul doute que c’est spécial de rouler en territoire si isolé, sans croiser quiconque, à l’exception de 2 couples en quad, qui avaient l’air aussi surpris que moi de croiser quelqu’un!

Anticosti
Gravel Bikes*In stock and shipping everyday! 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 frame is built with a bespoke selection of Reynolds 725 steel tubing, thinned where it is needed to reduce weight. A generous tire clearance allows you to install 27.5x2.1 or 700x50 tires. For 2023, our steel frame gravel bike has a revised geometry (shorter seattube length and slightly slacker head tube angle) and new curved chainstays offering more clearance to the rear tire. A Rival buildkit, Easton crankset, Hunt wheels and Teravail 700x42 tires makes this bike ready for a quick gravel loop, or for a more ambitious multi-day trip project. *Frameset comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors.1,649$ – 2,999$ (CAD) -

Torngat 27.5
Non classéIsolated in northern Quebec, located in the Arctic Cordillera, the Torngat Mountains are frequented only by those who have the real will to face the elements of nature. We do not get there by chance. It is a mythical place that imposes respect. An highly inspiring destination for the Torngat fatbike! We have included in this bike the features needed to make it completely versatile. Among other things, the frame is belt-drive compatible, it has an access for a dropper seatpost and is equipped with horizontal rear wheel dropouts. The Reynolds 725 high-grade steel tubing frame and the light, stiff carbon fiber fork accommodate the largest 26″ tires available, as well as the 27.5 x 4.5″. All you have to do is leave the house, get on the bike and explore the territory that is still unknown to you!2,559$ – 3,199$ (CAD) -
