TOHG - 2005 Quebec biking

For this bike trip, TOHG members provided their own transportation to St. Jerome, which is less than 50 km north of Montreal. There our bikes were packed onto a trailer and hauled by our small bus to Mont Laurier, the northern-most point of "Le P'tit Train du Nord". We spent the next 4 days biking 200 km (120 miles) from Mont Laurier to St. Jerome over what used to be a railroad. The tracks have been removed and the route transformed into a biking trail, which is referred to as a Linear Park.
