Be careful on the 3 past St Simeon, trail closure was in place last Wednesday, we could not pass to get to the Taddoussac ferry, friends of ours had to flatbed to the ferry crossing. Not good. We ended up doubling back and setting out the next am on an alternate route up to Valin.

We are putting in at Drummonville tonight, and riding towards RDL. I've heard the snow is good, trails are groomed, according to FCMQ.

Hi Tom, couple of us are thinking of leaving from Berniers this Friday and heading up and around Gaspie. Thoughts on leaving from Berniers?

Hi, the medium skidoo linq bag easily holds 4 quarts of oil. And I would take that. I've done longish tours and bought oil wherever I find it, and leave the ones I brought only for emergency. Oil consumption on the new 850 not as good as the 800 I find so better to be safe. And absolutely tape the lids. They will leak even if unopened which can be a real pain.

Its over, for now. Minister just suspended tax program, let's ride!

Great picture boss! I love it! Tells the whole story :)

These pictures are killing me, we will be there this Saturday!

For all of us getting ready to ride, your reports are excellent! Keep up the good work and thanks!
-
A little thin :(

How goes it? Long time no see. Yes hope to see you out there this year.
Long summer, lol, but I stand ready to ride! Traded in the Hamburglar sled, and replace with all black, back to basics.
-
Hey Iceman! Very entertaining thread, thanks for pushing it along
Here's hoping to see you on the trails real soon! -
These reports are fantastic, and solo no less! Courage...
-
Solo on the Gaspie! Yikes, that'll make for some fun stories... be safe. Too bad on the blown up sleds, hope Michael is still smiling :)
-
And Mike is still smiling!

Hey Florida...Running solo now? Quite an adventure so far. Ran into Scott from NH tonight, said he saw you guys out there before the blow ups.
-
Great pics & reporting Dave! Looks like your hitting some sweet riding. Are you able to keep up with Sharon? Love the gas mileage you're getting. Passing by Balbuzzard going west from Clova to Senneterre takes some guts!
Be safe & have fun!
Tom
I cannot pass Balbuzzard without stopping...its a disease.

I don't know much about Maine riding, although I register there every year :) Haven't been further east than the trains.
-
Roger. Thanks.
-
Solo rider here, which isn't too safe :) so looking to see if there are others that want to meet up for riding, or rides that are set and wouldn't mind another guest. I've been riding for many years, and quite comfortable with big mileage days, any and all conditions. I'm based in NH.

I may be around, and am solo, was hoping to head up this Sunday, but riding partners evaporated!
Oxygen Helmets

I've got 1450 miles on my O2 helmet, and I have had no real issues. It iced up once bad, but the freezing precip could not be beat by anyone in my group. I'm coming from a Bvs2, and although that helmet was very good, I'd say this one is better, due to the field of view and ease of operation, does not seem to be as finicky. Most of my miles have been without it plugged in, but when things get interesting, or super cold at night, plugging it in has always kept the shield clear. It's a lot of money, but at this point, I'd say it is worth it.
