On February 1, 2020, over 250 fatbike fans gathered near Sainte Adèle to show their support for the Parc du Mont Loup-Garou multi-use trail system. The “Viens fatter avec le Loup‐Garou” was a fundraising activity to support the trails and gather the cycling community together.

Fatbike riders had the chance to choose from around sixty demo fatbikes to try out the plethora of trails, courtesy of many bike shops and brands in the region. Folks were able to try out every kind of bike from Salsa and Cannondale to Rocky Mountain and Garneau. The trails were a blast winding in and out of densely forested areas, with a huge variety of climbs and descents. The weather was a bit warm that day so trial conditions may not have been optimal, but everyone had a huge smile on their faces exploring every trail the park had to offer. Because it was a multi-use trail system people were able to share the great the wilderness area with not only cyclists but cross-country skiers, snowshoers, hikers and even riders on horse.

Later that day the action then moved to Place des Citoyens, where participants were able to celebrate as part of a fun family-friendly evening. Delicious snacks were served, while the Shawbridge brewery offered beer to all, poured in reusable glasses. Including funds raised that day the The GoFundMe campaign has so far raised more than $162,000, to date!
