Routes in Canada / Quebec / Sherbrooke Southeast
A little trip that should take between 55 and 70 minutes.
The trip starts at the Bishop's University arches (although one could start at BCS or in Lennoxville), and goes through the wetlands (grass trails) onto the gravelly Glenday road (steep hills).
Finally into Huntingville, there is a nice spot on the other side of the river, in the little park by the mill, to rest.
Going back by Winder road is quick and painless. Turning right into Golf road gives you 2 options. Displayed is the gravel trail through the golf course. The other option is the steep, but paved trail.
All you gotta do is cross beautiful Bishop's University and then take the bridge back to BCS or Lennoxville, if that's where you started.
Enjoy the view!
A little 20km circuit mostly on road departing from Bishop's University, going to Huntingville and Milby through Winder and Suitor roads, and back, via Route 147, the Massawippi trail and Lennoxville.
Circuit goes through scenic Bishop's University and the Milby covered bridge.
Watch out for broken beer bottles on College street in Lennoxville.
Leave Bishop's and head towards Stanstead by using the trails (Massawippi and Tomifobia), except for the non-existent part between North Hatley and Ayer's Cliff.
Cross the border into Vermont (be careful which one you cross, as not all of them are staffed - you don't wanna end your trip in jail, hehe!), and head towards Newport by hugging the border and then the Memphrémagog Lake.
From Newport, it's a tricky one to get to North Troy. Once there, cross the border back in Quebec, and stick in the valley and follow the river until you get back to the Vermont border. This part is fairly easy.
At Richford, head back north (this is the last time you'll need to show your passport), and follow the Route Verte 4 into Sutton, Lac-Brome, and Bromont.
From there, it's the Route Verte 1 through Waterloo, Eastman, Orford, Magog, and finally traversing the city of Sherbrooke until getting back to BU.
The trail between the river and the railway has a gravel surface. However, the northern half is not in very good condition.
This ride is a bit more challenging.
The shoulder of Route 108 is wide.
You'll have pretty views of Sherbrooke and nearby hills from Glenday road.
There's a beautiful mill in Huntingville, with a nice park on the other side of the river.
For a quicker but more challenging route back to campus, take the trail by the golf course, instead of going through town.
Riverview is a gravel road.
Fearon road is quite steep.
Moulton Hill is quite steep, but this time to your advantage. Watch out for a bumpy rail crossing and a school zone at the bottom. Keep control of your bike as you fly down the hill.
The shoulder of Route 108 is wide.
