I improve my mountain biking technique by taking a course at the center Énergie CMB from Trois-Rivières!

Mountain biking is a cycling practice that has seen a real explosion of its followers in recent years. Although I have been practicing sport for almost 20 years, it was only a few weeks ago that I took my first class! In just one day, my jumping and turning skills improved a lot thanks to the advice of Anthony Marchand at Énergie CMB from Trois-Rivières.

In this video, we talk about tips and advice for enjoying the province's 2500 km of trails. I also talk about the evolution of sport and women's cycling with Liz Lacroix, and I am told by William, 8 years old, that I do not "ride well ben fast"!

The wild side of the Outaouais

April 13, 2023

Impossible to miss the vast Gatineau Park which, on the map of the Outaouais, expands like smoke from a campfire. By combining it with the cycle paths of la Route verte, I was drawn to its many trails, lakes, and stretches of forest that seemed to invite me personally.
