For the Love of Gravelle

Outaouais Gravel Loop

The most epic gravel loop in Eastern Canada.

A big, rugged loop through the hills and backroads of the Outaouais, starting near Wakefield and winding through quiet forests, open farmland, rolling gravel roads and the landscapes surrounding Gatineau Park. At just over 130 km with nearly 1,700 m of climbing, it’s a proper day in the saddle - with long, steady climbs, fast gravel sections and plenty of elevation packed into the route.

This is the kind of ride that rewards a strong set of legs and a curious sense of adventure. Remote-feeling roads, changing terrain and a constant rhythm of climbing and descending make it as much about exploring the region as chasing the clock. 130.7 km · 1,667 m elevation · 247 m max elevation · 17.7% max gradient
