Day 2 on Le ’tit Train du Nord includes an unwelcome detour! Ste-Agathe -> Ste-Adèle -> St-Jérôme

In Spring 2022, we biked Le P’tit Train du Nord, an old railway turned trail. This is Day 1 from Mont-Tremblant to Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.

Is it possible to get to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, via public transit? It’s not easy, but we did it!

We travelled to Montreal for the GO Bike Festival and took part in Tour La Nuit & Tour de l’Île. AMAZING rides – incredibly fun crowd of 18,000+ participants, neighbours out to cheer us on, banging musical acts, and even a ride through the Olympic Stadium.

We hadn’t yet done a big bike trip this year, so when a friend asked if we wanted to bike all the way to Paradise Beach in Ajax, 50km east of Toronto, we said sure!

En route to visit family, we often make a quick pit stop in Orangeville. But this year we decided to stay a bit longer and cycle the Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail!

On what will probably be the last warm “coats-optional” weekend of 2020 in Canada, we cycled the Beltline Trail in Toronto.

We took our Bromptons to explore the wild juxtaposition that is The Spit – half construction dumping zone, half protected wildlife park – in the heart of downtown Toronto.

We haven’t cycled much on Toronto’s east side, so we took the GO train to Rouge Hill station and checked out the eastern edge of the Waterfront Trail and the Highland Creek Trail.

Toronto is a huge city with lots of bike routes we haven’t explored – like the Finch Hydro Corridor. So this weekend we checked it out!
