Ill post some media after we return. Epic day off trail riding in W Yellowstone today. See you in Maine in a few weeks. Fewer than 10 miles on my sidewinder. 100s of miles on rentals this stupid F-in winter.

Today Skidoo 420, Jak, and GKW and I went to Libby's Camps for lunch. 3 to 4 inches of new snow coated the trees adding to a winter comeback. A couple pics of the trail and Mattagammon Wilderness Store and Restaurant. We are blown away with trail conditions here. The Baxter Inn owner has been so good to us. He has provided our own happy hour room .

I can say I was in Canada be happy with the little things schooter

Ride it like a rental! LOL!

25 February snow has ended -10c 4”

25 miles of moguls on a Wednesday is a bummer. On a weekend if you hit that you almost feel like you deserve it for riding a weekend. LOL Hmmm. Not sure those $ wouldnt be better spent at HCS if they are looking to spend Mike. On a normal year Id think QR folks dont get down to Milly much. This year has been an outlier..and much later start than the last few...but still a lot of fun. More fun to come next week in Caribou. You might try that area next trip before this short season ends. I think you would be equally as happy with what that area offers for trail quality and options. They got some snow overnite and more coming Saturday. 🙂 Should be great.

Anybody know how to hotwire one of these?!...

You are all welcome guys! 👍 We just received an other snow layer tonight, still snowing hard now... big fat wet snow, around 5 inches yet. just beautiful! 😍

In the meantime this no-sledding adjustment is reminding me of that Blazing Saddles scene in the jailhouse: “Steady as a rock”… “Yeah but I shoot (sled throttle) with this hand”… https://youtu.be/b635iiQUhRA

No... but the weed is reeeaaal good..... therefore it may affect your "Altitude..." LOL I'm kidding... GutZ

Thanks again Mrs. Ice for the app inspiration! https://www.relive.cc/view/vDqg7MDp9Vq

Does this count as groomed trail?

24 February after a warm melty day yesterday 0c Snow 5-10 cm they say overnight into tomorrow

Well, since we all know everything is messed up this year, we decided to visit a place where Covid doesn't exist, at least all the BS associated with it! A quick trip to the Big Horns in Wyoming was great medicine for this crappy situation of a winter. Here's a couple pics. Files are too large to share too many.

It's pretty flat, so the e-bikes batteries last long-long-long. Especially on the paved bike paths that run the south shore side. Kinda rough & bumpy on the north side where the (street legal) quads & SxS's & Jeeps go. Not as bad as Old Forge/Tug-Hill (or Bras Louie) on a weekend. Still, gotta get suspended MT ebikes for down there. Maybe eventually work up to the “real” single-tracking?... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNWwLGAU6eY

If I'm reading this right, it says your maximum altitude was 846ft, I know zero about Aruba, but there must be some hills there?

Pull the black case at the base of the seat post, you'll see the wires coming from the key switch, cut, strip ( the wires...) and wrap them together. This should energize the controller. And away you go!

Little thin and snirty... I see Rocks Poking up. GutZ

And is Big Mama's a Relais?

Hi Mark, Yesterday stopped at Mattagammon on your advice. Really cool place. Today was second day in high 30*'s. Went up to Abol dam and it got rough going towards Kokadjo so we looped around to Wildwood Cabins. All smooth going rest of the day. I had forgotten what 25 miles of moguls were like. Not pretty. 4 inches are forecast for tonight. Home for Friday. Tomorrow playing in the far north, via Shin Pond, maybe lunch at Uncolcos Camps. We've been mentioning QuebecRider enough to the owner of Baxter Park Inn that it should be a household name. Would it be good to have a Maine business an advertiser on QR? mike

Thanks Sledfarmer, I’ve been crossing it the last few week ends riding to and from my cottage in Duhamel. I made a call to the club president back then and I would like to share with all of you what he said. The trail will be marked closed indefinitely on the FCMQ interactive map from now on. The club will no longer be staking the ice for insurance reasons. However the even though the red line on the interactive map runs up on land for a bit, the trail is still maintained and groomed to the river, while on the river stay with in the tracks that have already be made. Basically follow the river on the north side from Montebello to Fasset where you can cross to Lafavre and catch the Ontario trail system. The crossing at Fasset/Lafavre is staked by the locals.

And the rhubarb has consequences!

Mike Any pics of the cabins or lodge rooms, it seemed like a good place to base out of for a 3-day with Mason and Brothers. He's getting good quick.... too quick.... Leaving his poor Uncle in the Dust!! I did not want to deal with downtown trails in Milli with him. Thanks GutZ

23 February -4c snow has finished 3-4” wet stuff

More info on new models in general.

Jak and Skidoo 420 joined me today for a romp down to Wildwood Cabins and lodge. I was embarrassed showing them the area on a Monday after the somewhat heavy weekend traffic. Pretty much every inch of the way was freshly groomed to perfection. It was the perfect day and Quebec like trails. The husband and wife team at Baxter Park Inn are turning out to be the perfect hosts. The food at Wildwood was great and portions were huge. Couple pics of the lodge at Wildwood. I thought this winter would be a disaster, turns out it has been awesome! mike

This is a very unfortunate situation. There must be some sort of a steep enough fine to get their attention. You’ve got to hit them hard in the pocketbook. I’m talking about fines starting at $2500, for first offense, impound their sled, take away their riding privileges, and possible jail time, for second offense. I know this seems harsh but the farmers and landowners are in control of the right of passage. They need to be protected at all costs. I understand that policing is very hard to do, but something has to be done to step up enforcement. Bottom line is we loose our riding privileges! just my opinion, harsh action has to be taken! Hank

bonsoir !!! friend of mine... heavier traffic today -32c at 8 am....blue sky wall to wall all day !!! jean-guy

Looks like TQ 33 is open and groomed last night
