Practical notes

Several distances are often offered — pick the one that fits your fitness.
The pace is relaxed, but a well-maintained bike is still essential.
Aid stations are usually set up along the route.
Check the Québec weather the day before and dress accordingly — mornings can be cool.
Make sure your bike is in good shape: brakes, drivetrain and especially tire pressure.
Bring water and a snack, plus a lock if you need to leave your bike.

Tip: set your tire pressure based on your weight and the surface before you head out.
