    Yes sir, where did you run to? From Buttes?

    would have been great to see you again.

    Started in St Raymond last Monday, up to Relais 22 then to the Gouin for the night.  Day 2 went to Val Dor/Chez Vic.  Day 3 to Quebellion/Motel du Lac (had a problem with sled that took most of the day so was not able to squeeze the Matagami loop in). Day 4 the 93 through Chibougamou to Buttes for a large beer 🙂 then the Jardin for the night.  Day 5 back through Apica to St Raymond.  Just under 1400 miles, everything except the section of 83 around Roberval was very good.  Was home in NH by 10PM!

    Been running the new Garmin 700i for about a month now in Nova Scotia.   I really like the bigger screen, however I soon saw where in some lighting visibility wasn't ideal.  I set the lighting on Night Mode and found it much better, run it day and night.

    Agree completely on night mode.

    Post another Let’s Go video when you get back.  Still the highest quality QC trail riding clips I have ever watched.  Love them.  I met the Professor or the Chemist can’t remember which one at Pacini restaurant in Alma years back. I didn’t see you that time.  
     

    Actually, I was there and recall the meeting. Hope you are well, and looking forward to another riding season. My riding partner, The Chemist was there as well. He is the magic behind the videos.

    No way on hell everyone is registering

    have not heard of one Quebecois getting a ticket for not registering

    and i follow many french forums i have seen the question asked about the registration for the Zec but not one person has said anything about getting checked or ticketed

    hate to say but this is targeted enforcement

     

    Do you mean targeting us out of towners?  Unfortunate, this is unmanageable at best!

    where do you want to ride and some more info on you would be nice..

    Right on, I've been riding 5000 miles a year in Quebec areas, for the last 10+ years.  Most of the time on a Skidoo Renegade.  I live in southern NH.  Don't smoke, light drinker.  I may not be the best or fastest trail rider (whatever that means :)), but I won't hold up the group.  Typically on the sled by 9ish, off by 6ish, love stopping at clubhouses along the way, especially for lunch!  Its about the smiles, not the miles.

    Oh yeah, and I'll ride just about anywhere...

    Hey QR peeps, seems my riding partners have vanished this year, and riding solo isn’t my best idea, so just wondering if there are like minded riders out there. I’ve got plenty of seat time, so I won’t hold you up.

    Was hoping to do a short trip this Sunday Feb 23 through Thursday Feb 27? Always fun to branch out and meet new people.

    Does anyone know why it's closed? Lack of snow?  Land owner issues?  This make Cote Nord really hard to get to.  If this is a trail closure that's going to put a major hurt on business in Tadousac and northward.  I'm planning on using this in early February.

    I was told it is a land owner issue.

    I've been watching this thread closely, as I planned to cross on the ferry at Tadousac in 10 days. Can anyone confirm if trail 3 is indeed closed near the ferry?  If it is I will reroute up 83. Anyone know the name of the club in that area?

    As of last Wednesday, it was closed.

    Hasn't been groomed for past 7hrs. Isn't the trail supposed to be marked red if closed? Last time we were there that stretch was really beat up, it was as bad as tug hill ny lol

    Screenshot_20190108-195349_iMotoneige.jpg

    Yes, it should be, but when 3 branches off after the small warming hut, it had not been groomed at all, then after st simeon, it turned to a singletrack, which brought us to a camp access (I figured that would happen based on the type of sled track), so then we broke trail for several miles, then back to a singletrack, which only brought us to another camp access, then the trail turned bad, and GPS showed we were still at least 15 miles from the ferry, so we turned back, since it was getting late.  I was told by another group that it is a landowner issue that has not been resolved yet, at least as of last Wednesday.
