If a training route works for an Olympian, it probably makes for a good ride. Les 100 à B7 lets participants explore the training routes of Lyne Bessette, a native of the Brome-missisquoi region where the cyclosportive is held. With 95 per cent gravel roads and some trail sections, the ride’s hills promise views worth climbing for. The event is not a race, but does have timed Strava segments, supported aid stations and beer at the finish for celebrating the day’s efforts.
