Featuring a fantastic mix of farmland gravel, rolling treelined dirt, and saucy unmaintained, this route was arguably my favourite of 2022.

Remaining almost exclusively on rail trails, the A&R Rail Loop provides a car-free way to link together the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew.

Want more epic Frontenac County dirt? This gravel bike-friendly bikepacking loop extends the Full Frontenac by an additional 184km.

This loop traverses the width of Hastings County, highlighted by the ruins of a 19th century Catholic church, and views of the Marmora Mine.
