Sorry, yes 345 S down to Repos to 33 S. It was a nice run across the lake,saved a few miles. However the section that your bypassing on 345 is nice heading north coming into Kanawata.

No I don't, from Mario's it's pretty much due south. You end up going through the woods for a little bit and back on 33S. There is a small pine tree stuck in the lake where you get off on the south end, like a Charlie Brown X-mas tree !

Stopped for lunch at Lac Repos on Thurs on our way to Res. Gouin and it SUCKED. The soup was hardly warm and the HOT open chicken sandwich was ICE cold !! It never was My favorite place but now its DONE. We had an early lunch at Kanawata on our way back and it was great.If you don't need gas and or can wait to eat, you might as well push on to Kanawata. You can shoot across the lake and save 20K. Mario and Celine are sweethearts and really do a nice job, have stayed there a least 10 times.

Nice article, staying there on the 24 the with a group of 6, can't wait. Good people and food !! and BEER

Zumo 550,maps,compass,sense of direction and common sense is what I use. Has done me well in 15 + yrs in QC.PS: Just picked up a new 2012 GSX 800,Ice Ripper track,GPS and outside carbides. Ready to roll,heading up on Sun for a week.

NICE !!on our way up on Sunday for a week, a couple of loops and a bit of saddle bagging, can't wait !!!!

No beating around the bush here eh ??

NYC, the Capital of the World ! Great place,going in the morning for a bike ride( pedal) for brunch and ride around a bit,can't beat it.

The pre-studded tracks are about all you need if riding in QC.,I have on 2 machines about 13000 miles combined and only one stud missing.Unless you ride real early or real late in the season these tracks really do the trick !

X2 planning on coming up on the 14th for a few days , please keep us posted. Thanks for the reports !! Dave

I am assuming it was the cold that was shuttting down the Nuvi's, but they both went down around the same time of day. My first Zumo was a gift for installing a heating boiler in My Brother-in-law's house. After that was stolen it was hard not to get the same GPS

I couldnt agree more ! I have had the Zumo 450 and now the 550, ( 450 was stolen from truck in Montreal during pedal bike tour a few springs back )and it works awsome. Was up in Jan and the 2 Nuvo's in the group kept shutting down when it got real cold,no problems with the Zumo

And "B" stands for BETTER sometimes ! Ya gotta go with the flow

Trails north were still good.We went to St Raymond overnight 23 to 73 and came back on Friday on 73 to 23 to 351 N to 355 South and had lunch in St Joe. Then 360 to damn down to Real"s and still good snow but was getting warm.

Thanks again Alain, heading up in the AM for 3 1/2 days at Real Masse', everything looks good ! I have a first timer with Me, looks like He's going to get spoiled on His first trip to Quebec.

GOOD LUCK BOBCAT TAILS ????? Could be a real money maker !!

Holy Sh*t !! I bought 2 Bobcat tails from Club Scott a few years back. One on "06 600 SDI and "04 800 HO, NO problems since !! The 600 has 5500 Mi and zero problems with motor

Downtown Parent has some of the finest tarpaper siding I have ever seen !

I have the Zumo 550 ( I had the Zumo 450 until it was stolen from my truck in Montreal while there for a bicycle tour )and it works GREAT. We were up last week and the 2 Nuvi's kept shutting down due to the cold, not the Zumo ! I have the Trak maps and works great

We did'nt go directly there, thats how we came up with 270 Miles. Actually just shy of 270, GREAT ride !!!

Yea you need reservations for sure if you want to be in lodge, only a few rooms. The do have cabins, don't know how many. Was there twice last Jan and last thursday with 7 guys, cool place to stay. It was real cold and LOTS of snow last week. We rode from Real Masse and it was about 270 Miles and real nice!!

Trail from Repo to Kanawata leaves right from Repo like a few years back. Just got home an hour ago form St Zenon

Alaine,you are a GREAT help with you'r pics and reports ! We are going to be at Real' Masse on the 15 th for a week and thing s look better than expected !! Thanks ,Pipemaster

It's like a DRUG, you just can't get enough !! Heading up on the 15 th, can't wait !
