Yamaha to re-enter the sled market in 2028 with their "all new, all yamaha 60th anniversary edition".  You heard it here first.  🙂

I’m turning 57 in a couple weeks and have been getting those AARP things in the mail for quite some time now. Guess that qualifies me.
can you imagine the amount of beer we could get in one of those.
 

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

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.
 

I like the place until it comes to opening the door to room 201, I had that jail cell three times now.🙄

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.

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.

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.

We're in Gaspe tonight. Came from the south up the 597 and took the local you're talking about. It seems I remember people referring to it years ago as the "bailey bridge cutoff"? Maybe from an old map? Everything was sweet today

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

I use a small soft side cooler , it only holds 4 bottles of water and they do not freeze.

Who woulda' known?  Thanks Mark.

I could have used them once or twice  🙂

We've stayed there couple of times the past 3 years. Would recommend. Very nice, and within walking distance of several restaurants.

8Epic adventure in the books. 2325 mi in 10 days. 965 mi during first 4 days in Abitibi, (Fontbrune, Club Trout, Lac Fallion, 100 Lacs, Fontbrune) then trailered to Baie St Paul . Rode east with  nights in Forestville,  Port Cartier and Harve St Pierre -both up and back.  With  exception of the last few mi returning to BSP on Sunday afternoon, conditions were fantastic for 1360 mi. IMO this region competes with the North shore of Gaspe for variety of trails and scenery but with less traffic. As I said we lucked out with sun and fresh snow the entire trip....however...the last 100 miles heading into HSP -knowing what i do now- i wouldnt attempt in a snowstorm or heavy wind. Miles and miles of elevation with no vegetation,  navigating stake to stake through the drifting snow and sharp, off-canter turns. 
If you like Gaspe (and who doesn't???) you should put Cote Nord on the list... Now if I can only figure how to post pics
