The isolated regions of Abitibi and James Bay in northern Quebec are the perfect playgrounds for mountain bikers who are passionate about wild open spaces. In the Raid des Conquérants, intrepid individuals brave obstacles and rugged weather covering a distance of 350 kilometres over five days. It’s not competition that drives the participants, but the fun of going beyond one’s limits, surrounded by imposing scenery, all in friendship. Just forget the rest of the world.
