    Sentiers du Moulin

Magneto est un sentier naturel, minimaliste, old school qui a été aménagé entièrement à la main par le groupe LB-Cycle. Ce sentier de niveau expert de type technique lent (slow tech) exige énormément d’habiletés techniques, de contrôle et d’équilibre. Vous devrez être en mesure de franchir plusieurs obstacles qui demandent un niveau d'engagement important et il n’y a pas d’options d’évitement.

Designé par Patrick Perreault qui a également supervisé l'aménagement du sentier, Magneto se trouve sur un terrain hostile qui comprend de longues sections de granit. 500 heures de bénévolat ont été investies dans ce projet qui a été supporté par le programme Pay Dirt de Santa Cruz.

Gestion de projet : Éric Gagnon, Nicolas Sauvé et Patrick Perreault
Design : Patrick Perreault
Aménagement manuel : LB-Cycle
