Mud, bikes and a slow return The next morning, we woke up with a woodpecker right next to us (literally), and Zak was bursting with energy. After sipping coffee by a small campfire, we decided to go for a ride using mountain bikes rent- ed right on-site. The trails started right outside our cabin! Once again, the Mitsubishi Outlander came through. Even with a baby seat, a kid’s bike, our lug- gage, our city purchases, and two long-legged adults, we had more than enough space. Everything fit easily — no Tetris required. After some hilly kilometres on the mountain bikes (and a few controlled wipeouts), we stored the bikes, topped up the battery on the PHEV while enjoying a delicious brunch at the village restaurant, and headed back toward the Eastern Townships. And just like on the way there, Zak fell asleep as soon as the engine started.
That weekend, we realized that going away doesn’t always have to be a big expedition. A reliable, com- fortable and well-designed vehicle makes every de- parture easier, every detour more enjoyable. Its elec- tric mode promotes a soft, quiet, almost serene drive. Its combined range and spacious interior allow you to go far — without compromise. This weekend in na- ture let us slow down, make new family memories,
and above all, savor the joy of the journey. We can’t wait for the next road trip! Mi
