To clarify further (you posted the same link twice ;-) ), I meant the St jean ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/436393533 It is fine gravel after Chambly. I did that regularly with 23mm tires, no problems with my road bike. Wider tires will bring you comfort as for any road but I don't remember it being uncomfortable. I ride 28's now but it is for the MTL potholes more than for the gravel :-)
For the around the lake ride ( https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583 ), it is asphalt all the way IIRC. Road side after Chambly. -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Fri, Aug 4, 2017 at 8:56 PM, Eric Evans <eev...@sym-link.com> wrote: > [ Jean-Baptiste Perrier ] > > Anyone want to join me on Sunday for the Saint Jean sur Richelieu ride? > > To clarify, this is the out-and-back through Chambly > (https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583), yes?
