There is also the track of 'le petit train du nord' which paralles
highway 15, that way you reach St Severe and take a loop south of 15 thru

return leg is more than challenging. The train track is crushed stone, which
is very rideable.> -----Original Message----- > From: Ron Schwartz [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 9:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [obc] road riding around Mont Tremblant > > Derek Barlas wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I'm sure some people on this list have done > > some riding around the Mont Tremblant/St Jovite > > area.
