Surely you do! The renown of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bromont.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/NOV2016hiv_CarteWeb_ReseauOak.pdf\">more or less 15\u00a0km<\/a> network of trails is well established! Accessible to all levels, Mount Oak is the ideal venue for initiating yourself to the sport.<\/p>\n<h2>Mountain network<\/h2>\n<p>Then, where can you go to really heat up your calf muscles, and take on some higher and steeper challenges? Well, simply head out to the Parc des\u00a0Sommets\u2019s mountain network, of course! Besides the numerous multi-use trails, volunteer cyclists regularly lend a hand to the group <a href=\"about:blank\">Amis des sentiers de\u00a0Bromont<\/a> to mechanically maintain 9\u00a0km of trails exclusively reserved for fatbikes (and all the multi-use trails shared with other sports enthusiasts! To view the map click <a href=\"about:blank\">here<\/a>)! They\u2019re all accessible by way of the <em>Divine<\/em> (C14) or the <em>Entrec\u00f4te<\/em> (M30), two multi-use trails where you\u2019ll encounter hikers on their way up towards Mont-Horizon or Mont-Bernard!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a suggestion that will have you discover two loops that will surely please intermediate\/advanced level cyclists:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The first one starts out at the <em>Divine\u2019s trail head<\/em>, at the end of Missisquoi Street. It goes up and up until you reach the intersection that leads to either Mont-Horizon, or the Pic du\u00a0Chevreuil. Keep your left towards Pic du\u00a0Chevreuil, by following\u00a0<em>Nom \u00e0 Venir<\/em>(the M42 \u2026 yes, that\u2019s what it\u2019s really called\u2026) and then the <em>Hummus<\/em> trail (M41). Don\u2019t be surprised to find that the routes differ greatly from the summer trails! And since what goes up must come down at one point, you\u2019ll get your money\u2019s worth!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To shorten the ride a bit, keep to the right when you reach the <em>Humus<\/em> and <em>Fer-\u00e0-cheval<\/em> (M40) trail intersection, to return to the <em>Divine<\/em> via the <em>Hollywood<\/em> (M29). Otherwise, take the <em>Fer-\u00e0-cheval<\/em> trail, on the left. Here you\u2019ll discover several fun turns when you take the <em>\u00c9changeur Turcotte<\/em> (M48) and <em>Bob Perdu<\/em> (M46) trails before heading back towards the <em>Divine<\/em>!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The second loop begins at the base of the <em>Entrec\u00f4te trail <\/em>that you\u2019ll follow for a short section to join the <em>Stade Olympique trail <\/em>(M31) on the right. Continue your ascent to the top of Mont-Bernard by <em>La<\/em><em>Mont\u00e9e<\/em> (M32). As you enjoy a well-deserved pause, from here you can admire the views overlooking the surrounding summits, from Mount Gale all the way to the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gienne hills towards Montreal. You\u2019ll then head back down by the <em>Farfadet<\/em> (M37), a trail also known as the combination of <em>Sarah<\/em> and <em>Tofu trails <\/em>(on the most recent version of the map). You\u2019ll have the option to return to your starting point via <em>Entrec\u00f4te,<\/em> or to link this route to still more trails until you\u2019ve had your fill!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In both cases, there\u2019s parking available only on one side of Missisquoi Street. It\u2019s important to respect the signs indicating this! Before you leaving your home download the Ondago application and Bromont\u2019s winter trail map. This way you\u2019ll have another option if my instructions are making you feel dizzy!
