Don’t be fooled by the relatively short 110-km distance of the full Gran Fondo Lac Mégantic; the region has been home to the Canadian road cycling championships and a Tour de Beauce stage race many times over. The 110-km course heads southwest of the city, taking riders into the Parc National du Mont-mégantic before heading back to the finish. Close to 400 riders took part in the 2017 edition, with more expected in 2018.
