The board of the Mont-Tremblant Bike Club (Club de Vélo Mont-Tremblant) is hosting an online survey to help them improve and expand their trail network. If you ride in the area, or can see yourself taking a trip to la belle province, please take a few minutes and respond.

They seem to go hand in hand: every chance we have, we pack the car, load up the bikes and head out for a couple days of mountain biking, and, most of the times, it involves camping. Living in Montreal, my girlfriend and I cross the border frequently to ride Vermont’s Green Mountains. We're always amazed that most of the state parks we visit offer great multi-use trails, and the opportunity to ride deep into the wilderness. Its also quite common to find state parks that are working with their local mountain biking clubs to improve trails and build new ones.

Last week, i attended the grand opening of Mont-Rigaud. Located less then one hour outside of Montreal, the ski hill is now offering 10km of mountain bike specific trails. The resort invested 100k$ this year to get there and the building of trails started as soon as the resort closed off it's trails for skiing! Sentier Boréal was hired for every step of the way: they delivered Mont Rigaud with 10km of singletrack and a pumptrack and skills area.
