Location: Bras-du-Nord Valley, where there is an abundance of forest routes and trails. Pack a few microbrews or a scotch/whisky flask and leave with 2-3 friends for the adventure of a lifetime.

Minimalist rider or cozy adventurer?
Minimalist, but I like to splurge a little on the way if the opportunity presents itself. As an example, I once ordered a complete table d’hôte meal comprised of fresh seafood during my bikepacking trip on Anticosti Island. It was really nice to take it all in after spending a week eating freeze-dried foods.
Early morning start: Espresso or Latte?
Double Espresso 🙂
Latest microbrewery discovery?
Singletrack IPA from Roquemont microbrewery
