    Hi Dave,

    We are heading up Friday for our first trip! Happy trails and nice to meet you at the H.I. last year.

    Wes

    Hey Wes,

    Best of luck on that 1st trip. I've seen where you've switched from Doo to Cat, keep an eye on the gas guage, LOL. What's your destination for the 1st trip? Will you be around the H.I. in February?

    Ride Safe

    Hi Dave

    Looking forward to seeing you in February. Anyone coming with you this year? Happy New Year.

    Bill

    Hey Bill,

    Not sure yet if I have any takers for this year. Either way I hope to be there. Haven't ridden here in Michigan yet, still looking for snow. Have a safe trip up to paradise and we'll see you in February.

    Thanks to all who post, I enjoy reading them and watching the videos. Jack and Sandi thanks for the detailed reports. When you can't be there enjoying the riding, the next best thing is to read about those who are. :) Bill, looking forward to your posts in the coming weeks. Hope to be there in paradise in February. Happy New Year to all QR's. Think snow and lots of it.....Dave

  8. Quebec Trail Passes

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I am selling Quebec Trail Passes again this year for the CARIBOU-CONSCRITS SNOWMOBILE CLUB and the SAGUENAY SNOWMOBILE CLUB. As in the past 100% of the dollars I collect goes to the respective club.

    The price for sesonal passes are:

    Seasonal pass On or Before December 09, 2010 is $240

    Seasonal pass After December 09, 2010 is $300

    Weekly pass is $180

    3 day pass is $100

    If you choose not to buy a pass and you are caught riding on the trail the cost is $400.

    I will accept either a check or PayPal.

    You need to supply the following info:

    Your name and address with zip code, phone number and email address.

    Snowmobile make, model, plate number and serial number.

    If paying by check make check out to me. My mailing address is:

    Bill McFarlane

    PO Box 446

    Franconia, NH 03580

    The only way these clibs receive money for grooming is by you purchasing your trail pass from them. There is no big pot tha the $ go into and then it is divided up among all the clubs. THE $ FOR OPERATING THE CLUB ONLY COMES FROM THE TRAIL PASSES THAT THEY SELL.

    Hey Bill, soon as I find out whose able to go this year and we finalize plans, I'll order our permits from you. Hope to see you this winter, Dave

  10. Québec Farmer union is going to the barricades again

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    There are some rumors up here in Québec that farmers are talking of a possible movement that they will block any access to their properties to snowmobilers next season.Again it is a battle between some Farmer's union against the Québec government where the snowmobilers will be taken as hostages.There is a press release but unfortunately it is french but it gives you a good grasp of the situation.

    http://www.laction.com/Actualites/2010-07-15/article-1569937/Les-agriculteurs-en-colere/1

    Le Syndicat des producteurs de cultures commerciales de la région de Lanaudière, Outaouais-Laurentides (SPCC) menace de mettre sur pied un vaste mouvement de boycottage de l'accès des sentiers de VHR et motoneiges.

    Ce moyen de pression est présentement à l'étude et pourrait être effectif si la Financière agricole et le ministre québécois de l'Agriculture refusent de réviser leur décision à l'égard des mesures de resserrement au programme assurance stabilisation des revenus agricoles (ASRA).

    L'ASRA est un programme d'une importance capitale pour les agriculteurs puisqu'il garantit un revenu annuel net aux entreprises. Une compensation est versée lorsque le prix moyen de vente d'un produit est inférieur au revenu stabilisé.

    Les mesures de resserrement du programme auront pour conséquence que seuls les producteurs les plus efficaces reçoivent des compensations.

    Plusieurs agriculteurs craignent le pire. «Ces mesures auront des impacts négatifs et ne pourront que mettre en péril bon nombre d'exploitations agricoles», soutient le président du SPCC, Gilles Brisson.

    Le Syndicat est cependant bien décidé à ne pas se laisser faire. «S'il est jugé, tel qu'exprimé par le ministre de l'Agriculture, M. Claude Béchard, que les budgets de la Financière agricole représentent un bar ouvert et qu'il faut maintenant y mettre un terme, alors que dans plusieurs secteurs de production de l'agriculture québécoise, la situation va de mal en pis, le bar ouvert de l'accès aux terres agricoles sera également chose du passé», assure Gilles Brisson.

    Maybe groomer can translate for us, Thanks groomer, Dave

    Hey Dean, How's it going? I have to admit the 1st time I looked at the picture I thought the same thing, nice trail or is there an animal somewhere in the brush.

    X2 here, made it back to Michigan with no problems. Had a great time. It's nice to be around people who have the same passion for snowmobiling that you do. Bill, thanks for everything, it's nice following behind a guy who doesn't need a map! It was also nice to put faces with names here on Quebecrider.com. Mikerider and 182Ray and racersinc, it was nice to meet you guys and we enjoyed riding with you. Also enjoyed riding with the Ontario guys, Al, Kevin and Larry. A special thanks to Larry who towed me the 11 miles back to the HI when I ran out of gas. I'll fix that problem by next year, I'll get a new sled! Again, thanks to all, already looking forward to next year, Dave

Arond noon time it got up to 10F and tonight when we came in it was -10F. But it was an I B day. We did the `Tour du Lac St Jean`run, 250 miles. Fabulous day.

    Today Fireboy, Jim, Eugene and I put on 240 miles doing the Tour du Lac St Jean. We got around the lake very well. trails were very good. 240 miles in 8 hours of riding with 3 gas stops, 3 pee breaks. You guys need to come on up. Don't hold back riding is great.

    Was there a lunch break in that ride? That's a pretty good day there Bill, did you stay on the 93 all the way around? Dave

  24. Thanks Bill!

    I needed a new pair of bibs for this season, and on the recommendation by Saguenay Bill in some posts last year I picked up a pair of Choko Extreme pants. By far the warmest bibs I've ever worn, I had a chance to test them out in some sub-zero temps in Northern Michigan yesterday and they passed all tests. When going from stand-up riding to stitting I didn't have that cold, damp feeling that I had with my other bibs that were only a couple of years old. Thanks again Bill, hope to see you around the first part of February! Dave
