Sentiers Royal is a mountain biking community from Montreal actually pushing to develop trails on the Mount Royal, the mountain at the heart of the city. Mountain biking has always been illegal at this location and riders have historically been facing fines given by the police or obstacles put in the trails. Our group aims at finally moving past this unsustainable situation by picking up from the efforts lead in 2007 and 2008 and giving a voice to the cyclist community, pushing forward a vision of durable trails and a well-mobilised community.
We invite you to sign our
online petition, and join our
Facebook group. Stay informed about our next developments. Together, we want to make it so that the spring of 2015 will be the one where mountain biking finally becomes legal on the Mount Royal.

Many thanks for the support, - The Sentiers Royal community"
I would like to know if there is any physical gathering or action scheduled toward the aforementioned MTL townhall, parcs urbains, etc...
And what about the Mont Saint-Hilaire ??? ;-)
One thing that gets us very optimistic about this process is that we are received with more open-minded attitudes from the authorities than before. Even Les Amis de la Montagne, a City organism tasked with environmental conservation on the mountain, is open to our ecological vision.
Regarding, Mont-Saint-Hilaire, the whole point of wanting to develop mtb in Montreal was so that people would not need to use their cars and get out of the city to enjoy mountain biking. We want to keep it on the island, and the Mt-Royal has been the best spot in this region since the birth of our sport
Pour avoir ridé les trails je suis à 100% avec vous!
Stay strong les boys!
