Quite a chore on the Sainte-Adèle trails

Videos
Written by Jonathan B. Roy

A day with dozens of volunteers working to improve the trails of Mont Loup-Garou Park in Sainte-Adèle, in the Laurentians.

Mountain biking centers are most often maintained by tireless passionate volunteers. This is certainly the case in Sainte-Adèle, where the team of Outdoor Sainte-Adele struggles summer and winter to get the most beautiful trails in the region.

Two weeks ago, Guillaume Milette Photographer and I joined the eighty or so people who were struggling with the chore of Mont Loup-Garou Park. Between roots, stumps and rocks, I invite you to discover what a mountain bike chore consists of and why so many volunteered to help with the beautiful Mont Loup-Garou project.
