New in 2021, the Terra Fondo is a gravel ride along the Rails-to-Trails system and other trails in the Acadian region of Clare on Saturday, June 5. The 19 km option winds through beautiful mixed forests with river views, while the 68 km route adds several views of lakes, historic sites, a farmer's market and a ride to the coast. Support along the roads and rest stops will be provided.

Two distances will be offered:

- Terra 18.8 km: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32009565

- Terra 67.7 km: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32009666

After your trip on the gravel, enjoy BBQ chicken or a vegetarian pizza, enjoy the local music and rustic charm at Richelieu in La Butte (Meteghan River). A branded t-shirt (April 30 deadline) is included with registration. Be sure to register early as there is a limit of 200 participants.

Terra Fondo is a community partnership between Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie, the Clare Rail to Trail Association and the Sou'West Nova ATV Association.
