I usually don’t count on prime conditions much past the second week in March in a “normal” year, whatever normal is these days who knows. Last year was the first time we rode in April, it was great, but I consider that a fluke unless you drive further north. Only Mother Nature knows what she has in store for this season.
Quebec’s spring break is February 27 to March 3 based on a quick google search for “la semaine de relache au Quebec 2023”.
I don’t know if Onatchaway is equipped to handle that, but based on what I have seen there in the past, I don’t believe that would be my target that night. Maybe Otis Nature, the old scoobyraid would be a better fit in that area.
I don’t know Vince, never stayed at Passion’s either, so not sure on that one.
Playhard has mentioned St-Felicien in the past, that would seem like the next logical place en direction Nord on 83 past Windigo if they are booked.
I would avoid Roberval myself even though it’s closer than st felicien
If your body and wallet can handle two back to back rips then I think that your plan to hit sweet baby st ray on the way home from the great Gaspe might be your best bet.
Please post pics no matter what trips you take.
