Default RR Tremblant, Canada

My first post in the Roadie Hangout! Can't believe we didn't ride dirt yet. Anyways, we're here in Canada at Mont. Tremblant. They don't have a bike park here so we rented some valley bikes to hit the local paved trails. Luckily, we hit the fall season at it's peak so all the trees are going through their change in colors. Lot's of red, yellow, and orange leaves.

The valley trail is pretty easy, I think it's something like 12km with sections of it running along the Riviere du Diable. There are quite a few dirt XC trails but we haven't hit them yet. The local bike shop told us they'll have a bike park in 2-3 years. Intrawest brought in a team from Whistler to build a bike park nearby. Mtn biking was banned a few years ago at Tremblant because the mountain was eroding too fast. Can't wait for that cause the dirt here is tacky and the scenery is gorgeous.

Onto the photos:

Love that leaf-litter trail, mine are usually just dirt and rocks.
