For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

I've been doing some rail trails on the "green roads" (routes vertes) to visit my parents for the last three weekends and I stopped at the park for overnights as I didn't want to cycle the full 140 km in one shot and then back. It's getting greener!

The Yamaska National Park is a small park located around a reservoir in southern Québec. From there it's possible to access multiple rail trails and "linear parks" going in all directions.

Yeah i also wish there were summer vibes in spain other than my shorts and sandals, haha.

If you really plan this as a trip to europe i could join in for a weekender or something, i live kinda close to that whole area. If you're down hit me up. I have done a lot of shorter trips there (mostly ardennes belgium, it is a quick "exotic" place for me to get to), maybe i could give you some tips. But to be completely honest, if you make a trip to europe for cycling, there might be nicer places to go, but you may have your reasons to go there. There's a lot of car free routes or so few cars that they really don't that are not necessarily rail trails.

Rode a long rail trail today though here in spain, i am now at the atlantic coast in san sebastian, drinking a beer. Cheers!
