Background
We travel in a group of four experienced riders and this will be our group of 4's 2nd trip to Quebec. Last year on the free weekend we did 4 days, Kirkland Lake to Amos, then Amos to Matagami, then Matigami to la Sarre, then La Sarre back to KL.
We don't mind a full day on trail but would like to be off before 6, so 300 - 375K / day seems to be comfortable.
This year we will trailer on the 10th to a place to spend the night from and leave our trailers, from then we have 5 days on snow, and day 7 we trailer home.
I have a bit of a plan BUT it might be too ambitious, and considering my wife is one of the 4 we like a little nicer places in the evening Restaurant/ Bar/ & hopefully a hot tub. And some of the places I've looked into are a little less attractive????
Anyway we thought about driving to and staging from Sennettere. (Day 1) Sennettere to Parent, (Day 2) Then Parent to Chambord, (Day 3) Then a days ride around the NE side of Lac St Jean checking out a couple of the look outs??? Then back to Sainte Felcien area north of Roberval for the night, (Day 4) then up to Chibougaumu, (Day 5) Then Back to Sennettere
For a number of reasons, economics being primary this may be the most substantial trip for us to enjoy quebec trails for a few years, so I want to ensure that we get the most out of it. 2 600 etecs 2 1200's We enjoy varried terrain including the quick ones, but well groomed obviously is the most important caracheristic, as well as non high traffic areas, lunch and gas spots important too... lol
So again I appreciate any and all suggestions if you could saddle bag for 5 days in Quebec Feb 11 - Feb 15th what would you do????
Thanks
