  1. My first time was with a buddy that would do 3 or 4 day minimum rides, and huge miles, he and his buddies all had RX1’s and only wanted to let you ride with them if you had newer 4 stroke, i worked in a family business and was not able to do that many days away from work. For years he kept telling me how great the riding was, so finally he had a spot open for a 3 day, we drove to Thetford Mines it was 2004, I had a 03 F7 and the first morning I thought the pull start rope was going to break took me a dozen pulls just to get it loose enough to start, it did finally start, and was amazed at the trail system, signage, and views. Have been riding in Quebec every year since.

  2. Ride out of Jackman a lot and saddleback to Quebec, tend to take Friday off and come back Sunday afternoon in less than 10 minutes pass more sleds than the 3 days in Quebec, and the trails in Jackman are beat up, unless it’s a cold under 10 degree day. Always curious if everyone in Jackman have DUI’s or is it they just don’t have passports? 

  3. Over the years trying to keep the family in current sleds has become really tough, trading up has gotten very expensive, especially when accessories won’t fit the new sled, plus daughter in college was going to be hard to justify spending the money anyway. Never felt so unsure of the future, and it’s not only the virus, as I am close to 60 and starting to feel older. So I will be keeping what I have, which is a nice 4 sled stable, just wish I had a cabin somewhere so I could get out more often, trailering every ride is getting old.

    Now they're just toying with my emotions.  It's 25f and a fresh groom on the 24mi railbed bet St Ray & Riviere Pierre?!

    Riding buddy says it won't be worth it as you be able to ride a little but gates will be mostly closed?

  5. 4:00 Friday morning 5 hour ride to Jackman,  on the trail by 10:00 just over 300 miles to Cabano all trails perfect, Saturday on the trails at 7:30 again trails perfect back to Jackman, home by 8:00 Saturday. Hope to do this run again before it's over but the weather doesn't look good. Was a perfect last ride if it's over for me.

    I do recall that evening with you and Gemma quite well though. I was amazed at all the miles you two do ad a solo act.

      Very inspiring.

    You didn't meet my better half Trish though. We do a lot of riding together. We had finished up a northern New Brunswick  tour with Craig and decided to extend our stay with a few days in Gaspie.

Thanks for any help. 

    Sorry I posted this in General, before I realized it would be better here.

    no problem going into new brunswick.if you get stopped at a checkpoint they will give you the option to buy a day pass

    Will be riding snowmobile going through border, when I ride through border at Jackman seems like they always take down trail pass number, also if you get stopped at a check point is there a fine also?
