A self-supported gravel bikepacking race through the Canadian Shield, looping out of Almonte, Ontario into the Ontario and Quebec backcountry. No feed stations, no marshals, no prizes. Just you, a GPX file and the forest.
The route
A loop from Almonte through the Ottawa Valley and Canadian Shield borderlands, named for the region's log-driving heritage. Roughly two thirds gravel and logging roads, a quarter forest doubletrack and rail-trail, the rest quiet paved connectors, with the 805km option climbing around 9,000m.
Late-August, Almonte
Highs around 27°C and lows around 14°C, but it has dropped to 6°C. Rain on 40% of days.
