Road Cycling

Mountain Biking
This is a fairly broad category which encompases mainly downhilling and cross country trails. The main spots in Ottawa for DHing are located at Camp Fortune and Calabogie. The two popular cross country trails in town are located at Kanata Lakes in the west and Camp Fortune in Gatineau. Calabogie also contains some XC and dirt jumps but due to its proximity from the city DH is the main reason people make the trek out there. For a more detailed list of local MTB trails: CLICK HERE!
City Riding and Commuting
The National Capital pathway network contains more than 170 km’s of trail. These trails strech all over the city and can be a great asset for safe commuting and recreation.
