Canada Day Adventure!
Happy Canada Day! TIL that cycling on gravel is harder than cycling on asphalt. But according to marketing, we have adventure bikes, so we took them out on an adventure! The route was super fun, but significant parts of it were unpaved (forest) paths with roots and potholes that felt kind of mountain-bikey. Our Stragglers coped fine, but I wouldn’t have wanted to ride this one a carbon fiber rocket bike. Lots of nice and different landscapes, from seaside vistas to farmland to forests.

I have to say I copied this route and rode it back in July and it was a blast! I was running 650b’s and it was so much fun. Thanks for putting this together!
