SUMMARY:2025 Canadian Shield Bikepacking Summit & Grand Depart in Quebec
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”69414″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nCanada’s ONLY Bikepacking Summit \nThe Canadian Shield Bikepacking Summit is an opportunity for experienced and aspiring bikepackers to come together and share in their passion for riding off the beaten path\, spending time in nature\, and challenging themselves both mentally and physically. \nSummit Goals \n\n\n\n\nThe Canadian Shield Bikepacking Summit aspires to create an event that is welcoming to all people and fosters an atmosphere of inclusion and acceptance within the bikepacking world. \nOrganizers encourage participation by all traditionally marginalized groups within the cycling industry\, including but not limited to: women\, BIPOC\, and the LGBTQ communities. \nFor more details on the event\, our vision\, and event schedule\,e or to learn more about the presenters\, please visit the Canadian Shield Bikepacking website. \n\n\nGrand Depart (Sunday – 5/25):  \nFor more information\, see the website: https://www.bikepackadventures.ca/grand-depart \nThe Canadian Shield Bikepacking Route is a 900km adventure through the Laurentian Mountains of Western Quebec. With alternative distances of 250km\, 400km\, or 1150 km\, there is definitely something for everyone. The route will take riders off the grid\, through some of the region’s most epic trails and roads\, including Gatineau Park\, Mont Tremblant National Park\, Montagne du Diable Regional Park\, Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve\, Ouareau Forest\, Centre Vorlage\, and Mont Ste. Marie. With over 13500 metres of elevation gain across the 900km route\, this is definitely a route that will challenge you both physically and mentally\, while creating a lifetime of memories. For those looking to keep things a little less spicy\, control points throughout will indicate where you can go to avoid some of the more intense sections of the trail. The Grand Depart for 2025 will begin at the conclusion of the 3rd annual Canadian Shield Bikepacking Summit\, allowing participants to go on an epic bike adventure at the conclusion of the summit. With a departure time of 5:30 pm\, you’ll start the adventure with a night ride and good company.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
