No doubt the 8-10” units rock !

Hope to get my Tread upgrade set up in the next few weeks. I understand why so many are going with GPS systems on their sleds. It is reassuring to know you can always locate where you are. Makes riding unknown areas and trails more common and even more fun. Really at this point I would feel naked without it after years of having it. Handy even when on known trails just for locating upcoming known turns and checking miles to different optional gas or lunch stops.

Picked up a Garmin Tread Premium with the group tracking to install. My Montana 600 worked well but was a 4” and this is 5.5” so I’m looking forward to setting it up. My old eyes aren’t what they used to be. 🙂

You mean Holy Shit. So cool !

Thanks for the pictures. Inspiring !

End of an era there. Cool guy.

The ‘must see’ list for me includes many of the snowmobile club clubs trail side where they have a place to stop and take in the local feel. So sometimes food, sometimes drink, sometimes a fireplace or wood stove…every one different. It is what we love when you are riding the best trails and nature around in between them. Some are really nice, some simple with folding tables and chairs…some couches, some have a bar with stools, some are along roads and the public drive there too…some remote…but all different. Many have great trail food, some local foods, sandwiches, soups, poutine, sweets, a cold beer or hot coffee. Generally surprisingly good. People running them are nice. Always a treat for us to experience (and support) them.

Congrats Mike !!! Can’t wait to see you up there in RDL.

@mikerider. Ever ride RDL before New Years ?

Id love to this year but years past had to head to Valin…..maybe this year will be different ! Has RDL ever been ridable at Christmas ? That would be nice.

Swanky place to drink Labatts at !

Am I misreading this or is this the soon to open new restaurant/bar at Universel ? Anyone been up there that can confirm or deny it ? Interesting. Looks beautiful.

The strains continue to weaken but I’m afraid that may not stop them from putting controls on. It’s not about anything health related for them. 😞

Great share. Thanks !

Revolving door. Heard a stat recently that typical number of priors for a murderer is 11 when they murder their first person. I don’t know how many chances the justice systems need to stop these guys. The police remaining must be demoralized.

So 3 1/2 days at Universel. Always great. One day was a warm day…some push/track spin on the first mountainish section of 35 out of Squatec but fun. Shady sections just great. The rest of our week was great as well. They are dumping snow at road crossings. That time of year…but a GREAT time to ride springtime conditions. Morning is best…afternoon still really good. Grooming was often and great. Can’t wait to go back next year ! Nothing compares. So of about 600 miles of trails literally 95% was mint. So fun. Sled started popping “battery” fuses on the way back last ride thankfully. Towed from Chevaliar (2 arches) 62 miles down a flat 35 and flat 85 railbed. So fun to get back to RDL for a ride with friends !

They fixed it.

Anyone getting it to work right now ? I can either select “trails” or “grooming” but not both. Tried both android and IOS.

I remember now. You cross the edge of the lake and come up behind the station ! Thanks !

Back up yesterday for a few days. Rode the afternoon. Traffic light. Trails were great. Much softer with higher temps and even a little mist for a bit but very good. 2 weeks ago it was COLD and hard trails so spring riding is almost here til temps drop again. Looks like 35 out of Squatec was groomed last nite so we will hit it at some point today ! We like the twists and turns and elevation changes on that trail. I missed the gas in Squatec last trip. Where are the current gas options there again ?

It ain’t where ya go its how you get there….and who you are with !

And drinks at the round bar……. 🙂

Yup ! Back in Quebec tomorrow nite. Let the lunches begin ! Lunches and friends….it’s what’s it’s about Mike !
