27 November 
 

Souvenirs early season's start in my backyard...


and why noy a video!
 

Got some new iron today.
new machine and drag
 

Yep you are all spot on it: the devil's mountain relay/point of view
@Pipemaster: I was thinking the new relay was on the same spot but maybe not exactly the same but not far because it was really near of the top of the big hill of the trail on the east side as of today. Being on the same summit the view is the same for sure
The old relay with no electricity was quaint and very special. Even 23 years ago it was a 40 years step back going in there! Kristine when going to the toilet in the back that was a very small room with a wood step with an hole in it had the surprise to see her toilet paper piece rising back from the hole and flooting in the air from the mountain backdraft !!!😂😂😂

this one just aside the new relay

Since my last visit they have built an observation tower near the relay that seems really nice. Here a pic took on the net

 
 

Gobble Gobble!!
Enjoy the day with friends and family!!

Haven't heard much news about QuebecRiders getting new sleds this year.
Bought mine today. Last four sleds were 900 ACE's, needed something different. Maybe at 70 I needed one more hot rod before I get too old.
'24 MXZ  600R two stroke short track (129). 
 

22 November 
-2c snow   3-4” overnight 
I like what i am seeing so far. Winter setting in slowly. Some freeze some thaw makes for solid ground. 

Not our first snow but first one with real quantity.

 

Here's a couple

From the Gaspe this past season...
Tour De La Gaspésie 2023

from my first post, this relay...

have now turn into this!

Motel Nanook, Cap Chat. The end of a perfect day in the Gaspe.

I’ll add a few

No it was few years before but I too have very good pics of this great surprise encounter! i'm glad you reconize us and took the time to stop and chat a bit

it's you that pointed us the little curious beast that was looknig at us in the background, just behind my partner

Kristine got the lumix out and zoom in some great pics of it


Hoping our paths will cross again on the trail! 😄
this looks like the last new bridge of the 49e trail in LSJ area ?

Great idea Towing.
Many will know where these pictures are from. This was a trip last February. Unfortunately they don’t groom the east -west trail that leads to the cave from the local trail that runs north and south. So have to ride a few km of ungroomed moguls. Was reading they are trying to discourage people from visiting the cave. 
 

Great idea on the thread.  I am definitely ready for some “throttle therapy” as Kenny calls it.
 I have no clue on the clubhouse, looks  remote. 
I love meeting fellow QR riders on the trail.  Those would be some of the best pics, but I always forget to take one.  Here are some favorites to keep the thread going.  

 

Entre La Cache & St. Paulin….Was that the year I met you at the top of the mountain and we took this pic?
 

hope everybody doing well, maybe with some thumb itching beginning!
Not sure if it will help you or get it worse but I share with you some pics I like from past seasons, feel free to contribute yourself to the post!
This first one was taken somewhere between La Cache and St-Paulin many years ago, not sure why but It always make me drooling when I look at it! 🤣

here's another one from a relay that still exist and is popular but completely changed from this pic... any thought?

 

Based on that ferry's reputation it actually has waited quite a few times................for the repairmen...

Not an area I am very familiar with but someone here knows where this is for sure. Looks to be along the route 117. Petit train du nord trail?
 
Bonjour motoneigiste, dans un soucis d'avoir toujours des sentiers sécuritaires voici des travaux effectués dans la côte à Morisson.
Hello snowmobilers, in an effort to always have safe trails, here is some work done on the hill in Morisson.
L'ensemencement est fait, les travaux sont terminés. Il ne manque que la NEIGE!!!
The seeding is done, the work is finished. All that's missing is the SNOW!
