Thank you

"we are buying a trail pass...not a registration" Now that makes sense. Thank you QB

Bob, I think you misunderstood my question. I'm riding in Quebec and of course have a Quebec registration with included insurance. Over the course of many years riding in QC, on occasion, unfortunately, we've been stopped on the trail and and they always request to see both my QC reg paperwork as well as a local registration from the state I live in. If I'm NOT going to ride in the state where I live, I prefer not to register. Why do the Quebec officials want to see my NH or MA or CT registration as well as the QC reg? If it's to prove I own the sled can't I simply show my Certificate of Origin? If it's to insure I have insurance, can't I simply show my insurance certificate?

As a resident of the States, why do the Quebec authorities care if my sled is registered in my home state? They do, because I've been asked for it. I don't ride at home at all, so it's just a wasted fee that goes up each year. This year it's $150. which is not insignificant. If it's a proof-of-ownership question, which is understandable, can I simply show my passport and the sled's Proof of Origin -instead of registering in the states? (Of course along with my Quebec Registration) Thanks everyone. O

I haven't had a decent chicken club sandwich since I was last in Quebec!

I was going to say the same thing. That section of 5 from Petite Vallee to St Anne Des Monts is quite possibly the nicest trail in all of Quebec. Lots of snow, incredible views of the St Lawrence river and fun elevation changes with switchbacks.

Windigo for sure. 22 is good for a lunch spot and to warm up, but the accommodations aren't the best. Very small rooms and uncomfortable beds. O

Forestal in Val-d’Or would be my first choice. Clean and modern with a great restaurant. Also, its right on the main drag. You may want to make a reservation if you can. I guess there are a lot of hockey tournaments in this region and if you happen to be there on a weekend or holiday week you may be out of luck. Did I say nice restaurant? Yes indeed.

Thank you.

Can someone please identify the trail that connects from 597 (52 mi south of Murdochville) East and ends at Trail 5 just south of Gaspe? The FMCQ online map does not label it. I rode this trail years ago, and it was amazing. Looking to confirm deets on our trip next week. Also, if anyone has recent experience on this trail. Thank you. O

Hi JG, we'll be riding Gaspe Mar 5-10 and watching your updates very closely! And please keep posting those incredible photos. Especially the ones with piles and piles of snow. This will be my 4th Gaspe trip and I'm as excited as the first. O

I'd be very careful comparing anything to the Hitler/Nazi regime.

Who woulda' known? Thanks Mark.

Does anyone use a Camelback hydration bag while saddlebagging QC? It should solve the problem of your bottle freezing up between stops. I like to stay hydrated and have fought this problem for years. TIA O

I could have used them once or twice 🙂
