Perfect overnighter from Ottawa to Lac Philippe in Gatineau Park (Canada).
Riding a heavier bike was more fun than I remembered. It definitely forces you to ride slower and enjoy your surroundings.
Having everything you need on your bike is also rewarding somehow.
Big Agnes Bikepacking Specific 2 person tents are.l quite small even for 2 shorter than average individuals. We slept… a few hours… I think?

omg amazing!!! I just did this route a few weeks ago, took trail 36 (which beat my ass) and then trail 50, haven’t posted about it yet but the conditions at lac philippe were just spectacular, the new campground is really nice!
did you wild camp or visit NCC? which campsite did you stay at?
i’m glad you brought knobby tires! i made a mistake going up w slicks
