The second ride option for Saturday of the Burke Vermont Gravel Weekend is a 46-mile loop in Quebec. The day will begin with a 7:30 am departure from East Burke and a 90-minute drive to Sutton QC, where the loop begins. From Sutton, the route goes northwest to Cowansville, then north to Bromont, then southeast to Lac Brome, and finally southwest thru Brome and back to Sutton. The terrain is 56% paved roads and 44% unpaved, which are dirt roads or bike trails. 

The route was developed by Quebec's Gravel Mafia and a description of the routes and scenic stops along it is available here. The NSC ride leaders have modified the route, changing the start from Bromont to Sutton. 

The goal is to have riders start the route by 9:30 am and then complete the route and return to East Burke, VT, by 6:00 pm or earlier ideally. 

A U.S. Passport is required to enter Canada and to re-enter the U.S.
