Welcome to Saturday Riding.

Stop in Mt. Laurier at the Comfort Inn right on the way get a pass at front desk. Call if you want but i'm sure you can get it there. 819-429-6000 it will be on the left in town right on the RT 117

Feb 15 32F 1" snow overnight Some Flurries now.

I've never stayed there. Called for you. She says right off the trail. They offer rooms with breakfast included. They have 3 rooms only. 1 room cost $115 and the two others are $100 taxes and tip included. The more expensive room has a bigger bed. No dinner there need to go to the Resto that is at hotel Matagami Right now all 3 rooms are available for your March 5.

Fine Job on the Report GT Rider. Say hi to Gemma. Great meeting you guys. Awesome trip.

Yes you should be fine. 33 is closed between Lac Repos and the 360. 345 to 360 to 33 should get you there no problem You can call Cabanon to confirm that is your best bet. Or ask Auberge Lac Taureau.

The only option I know is what you have Hotel Matagami.....819-739-2501

Good Luck hope you find something nice. Tough being Valentines Weekend. Get Dialing.

Just east of the 386/63 is a trail (it will be on the right) to Pavillion Lavendyre its the only thing down near there. 7 miles off of the 63. Nice Lodge gas food sleep. 819-435-2133

Yeah, that is the Wal Mart in Parent.

Yeah for me its a Gas and Go in Parent.

Don't Change a thing GT Rider you got it down. You do much more then manage OK. Keep on trucking.

I'll believe it when its on the ground. Monday is a long way off things can change. I hope they are guessing right but we all know at this point that is all it is a guess. They Lie those weather people.

Sounds good to me Jackstraw. I'll bet Parent is kinda like the Island I used to live on where "you don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn." lol. All kidding aside I would live in Parent. My wife says if I go I will go alone. She said the same thing for La Tuque. Too Boring for her.

Wow GT rider you guys got to practice all the extrication techniques huh? Winch and all. You must have been a boy scout cause you were definately prepared. Good stuff.

Exactly right on Viper, Natives and Firewater equals crazy. Never stayed at Auberge Clova just lunch and taken the gas, I have Stayed at Tamarac cozy there nothing fancy but fine. Auberge Clova seems fine but just so you know the Auberge is a Separate building from the Restaurant so you need to walk or ride down to eat or ride or walk back up to the Auberge to sleep. You can see one from the other not far but not right next door either. Trails were great last week thru there sure its just as dandy now.

I've seen some nice Warming Huts that could work for sure. Hotel Central reminds me of the Bar Scene from the first Star Wars. The few times stopping in there. Never slept there but hear it gets crazy on the weekends.

Clova is great! Population 43 Give or Take a few.

We know now that Straight was the better choice.

Trailblazer That route is just over 90 miles.

Chibougamau to Seneterre roughly 215 miles give or take a few. Seneterre to Lac Faillon about 65-70 miles. Seneterre has Motel Senabi 819-737-2327 Or Motel La Belle Villa 819-737-2331 Or in Lac Faillon 819-737-4429

Parent has Hotel Central 819-667-2377 Clova has Auberge Clova 819-662-3327 or Tamarac 819-662-3319 Barrage Gouin is east of Parent off TQ83 819-666-2332 St Michel many more choices.

Feb 12 1.5" new snow Tropical out there today. 36F

Gas in Louvincourt yes. intersection of 386 and 83 Right near the river crossing.

From Lac Repos intersection of 345 and 33 Its almost 200 miles either way you go to Clova Your looking at a 300 mile day from St Michel to Clova. Well real close to it anyway.
