The Summer Challenges are an exciting series of non-timed excursions where you get to decide how far you cycle: 75, 100, 125 or 150 km? How many climbs and descents? At a brisk or gentle pace? Challenge yourself as much as you want, depending on your level of fitness or energy, or your mood on the day of the event!

The Metropolitan Challenge
Sunday, May 26 • Start/finish: Saint-Lazare, Aéroport Cooper
During the Montréal Bike Fest, take part in the first excursion of the summer. A perfect opportunity to join other avid cyclists and push your limits. The scenery along the route, which begins in Saint-Lazare, is mainly blue, since you will ride close to the Ottawa River in the morning and then along the St-Lawrence River near the end of the loop.
