At La Petite Aventure, we transport your luggage from one stopover town to the next. We accept only one piece of luggage per person. For the sake of both your back and that of our porters, please ensure that your luggage weighs no more than 22 kg. You will be required to have your luggage weighed upon departure from Mont Rigaud. Any excess weight must be returned to your vehicle.

When you registered, you had the option to add an extra bag. If you did, an additional baggage tag will be sent to you for that bag. You can also check in your extra bag on the day of departure, June 27, at Mont Rigaud, for$40.

In the tab for each DAY, you’ll find the routes on the Ride with GPS app as well as printable maps (PDF).

To help you plan your Petite Aventure, you can use the Ride with GPS platform—on your phone, computer, or tablet—to view maps and elevation profiles.

This platform offers you a wide range of advanced features:

• Voice navigation
• Offline access to maps
• Detailed maps and route descriptions (cuesheets) in PDF format (the information is provided for reference only)
• Advanced route notifications using GPX (or TCX) files. If you’d like to access these features, please register for the event on Ride with GPS.

You will be prompted to sign up if you are new to the site, or to log in if you already have an account. It’s free. The event will be automatically synced with your account on your mobile device and online. Do you have a GPS device or a smartphone? Check out the quick navigation guide to get familiar with the Ride with GPS platform. Please note that the app is available in English only.

One week before the Petite Aventure, you will receive an email update with the latest route maps, including information on restroom locations. We recommend waiting for this final update before downloading the data to your GPS, if applicable.

It is each traveler’s responsibility to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage (medical care, luggage, and bicycle). Vélo Québec Voyages assumes no liability for loss, theft, or damage to your luggage and personal belongings (including your bicycle) during your trip, including the transport of your bicycle by truck. Note that many home insurance companies cover property damaged or stolen outside the home. Check with yours.

We won’t be the only ones out and about this long weekend. You’ll be riding partly on public roads, and the roads will not be closed to traffic. Please keep this in mind and RIDE IN SINGLE FILE. Please take this opportunity to remind the younger riders accompanying you. The organizers have committed to the authorities to promote greater “cycling courtesy” and will not hesitate to call you to order if your behavior endangers your life or the lives of others.

The route is marked with signs. These signs will also indicate the locations of various service points (restrooms, refreshment stations, lunch stops, water stations, etc.). Any last-minute detours will be indicated, if necessary, with DETOUR signs.

The optional courses specify a cutoff time to ensure that all participants can cross the finish line before 6:00 p.m. In addition to being displayed on the course sign at the start of the optional course, information about the cutoff time is also provided on the maps, where applicable.

If you need to charge your phone, tablet, or bike computer, please go to the designated area at the school, where a space has been set aside for this purpose. Details to follow.

When you registered, we asked you to select a meal option (regular/vegetarian or vegan/gluten-free). However, we understand that some participants may have more specific allergies or intolerances.

The full menus are available on the event pages for this edition of Le Petit Déchaîné. If you would like more details about the ingredients and meal preparation, the on-site catering service has a complete list of ingredients and can provide you with the necessary information to ensure you do not consume any foods to which you are allergic.
