The Guide Velo region Chaudière-Appalache, we like this guide a lot.



Good overview of this very large region and the different rides in this guide


The advert for the Cycloroute de Bellechasse. It is a very promising 74 paved km of country riding. Possibly paradise. Here is the view as seen from space (river valley and forest):


Cycloroute de Bellechasse, south of Quebec city. Bikely map here.


Map of the Cycloroute de Bellechasse ride in the guide. (The guide gives parking directions. We like this.)

Update: we just got back: this is an amazing piste cyclable, one of the best we have ever done. Brand new, perfect asphalt, great terrain, away from roads, we highly recommend it - go there now!!!


The other destination: a tour around the Thetford area.



Our vague plan has finally reached the reality stage: we'll take a two day camping trip to the area south of Quebec City called Chaudière-Appalaches.

The region offers hills and valleys, maritime coastal rides, and Quebec city too. The best views of Quebec are from the bike path in Levis - and there's a great ferry ride across to Quebec - it is not to be missed.

Our explorations will take us inland. We'll be riding on the new Cycloroute de Bellechasse paved bike path to Armagh, and a also tour of the Thetford Mines region. Camping possibilities include St-Joseph-de-Beauce campground which we've been here before, and it has an excellent waterfall.

On the road again.
