063. Eric and Jen Betteridge - The Log Driver’s Waltz

Jen and Eric Betteridge both grew up in active families and have always carried on leading an active lifestyle. They have both continued to enjoy adventuring by bike and like to see people getting out there on whatever bike they have.

Ontario has so much to offer in terms of outdoor recreation and that motivated this adventurous couple to develop a route that showcases some of the fantastic bikepacking in the province. They spent time out on the bike developing different sections and then eventually joined all the routes together creating the Log Driver’s Waltz, “an 800 kilometre, multi-day cycling route that traverses a vast variety of terrain in the Ottawa Valley and Outaouais regions of Ontario and Quebec.”

It was a pleasure to finally connect with Jen and Eric. They have a ton of experience and they shared a lot of their methods during the conversation.
