Well we changed directions today due to the weather calling for freezing rain potential on Thursday in Matane. So this morning we went to Chanel du Nord then took Benoit’s trail over to the Pelchat trail and ended up at KM 31 tonight. Going to play in the Monts tomorrow then head for the Abitibi on the 93 Wednesday then back the 83 eventually Shawinigan. Want to stay where the cold is. Oh well we will be back up March 2 maybe try again. By the way the trail from Chenal du Nord to Pelchat trail was outstanding,, we hit some impressive drifts!

Day one mostly trail 3 to Bair st Paul for the night. From just north of Quebec City area to 25 miles south of BSP the 3 was trashed! I don’t think we ever ran such a long stretch of trail that bad. I was ready for a hot shower and a couple Advil.  Room at motel Chalets chez Laurent was great
 

Day 2 was a brand new day! The groomer God’s worked their magic all the way to Forestville👍 Only issue was after gassing up at Escoumins the wind began to howl and the snow was really coming down,  fun stuff til we pulled into the Econo Lodge in Forestville for the night. This should make trails entertaining tomorrow

Heading there from Shawinigan in the morning, not in one days ride but you knew that 😀 then we will back track to Godbout take the Ferry Wednesday at 5pm to Matane and work our way back to Shawinigan.

Fred and Benoit at Poirevoire Le Chenail have  marked and groomed the trail to Le Chenail from the Pelchat trail. That will now make a loop up to Le Chenail and than down to  Forestville possible. Here is a photo of where the trail connects in to the Pelchat trail. 
 
Happy trails RR

I think the biggest reason is because it’s largely one route up, same route back no way to make a nice big loop unless you take the ferry across at Godbout to the Gaspesie.

Let me know when you are doing it again so I can be somewhere else. Thanks. 
 

Sorry we didn’t get to meet Phil.  It was fun riding with you guys mxsenior, where did you end up staying? We thought we would see you at the restaurant 

We stayed at Mont Vilain ( old Scooby Raid) last night and rode over to Onatchiway then took the 477 & 267 & 93 to Chapelle for lunch. All trails were a 10. Left there and rode the Pelchat trail to Les Escoumins trail was excellent as well. 

Rode up to Chenail du Nord today for lunch, some of the best riding I have done. Beautiful scenery! Trails are again 👌

I heard its staked from Grand Mere all the way up. Good to go. 

Thanks Reggie, Happy New Year to you and Nancy 🎇❄️🍷

As always thanks a million JG, you are a huge asset to our sport! 👍

Very nice guys.  Not Quebec but we were able to put some miles on the new sled this past weekend here in NY.
