  1. Well said shane. Is true I DO NOT by any means believe everyone at night riding is drinking.

    I just want all the trails we have now to stay open and hopefully we will gain some new ones. We need to respect the land owners period. Without them there is no real trail system.

  2. Easy there 800steve

    Stupid was the riding on the fields and pissing off land owners resulting in no trail.

    I have had lots of late nights either because all went wrong that could OR all went awesome and there was no stopping.

    It is dark real early in winter remember? You can still night ride in your less traffic on the "better trails" and do it all day too.

    I did not say riding at night meant all were drinking.

    I think it's only fair to respect the land owners and the nearby homeowners.

    If everyone had stock exhaust and no stupid pipes we wouldn't need to be discussing any of this

    I think the 10 pm weekdays and 11 pm weekends is reasonable. Better then no trail through at all.

    Many take the trails as a given thing any time that can change. Would it be crazy yes the money sleds bring is big.

    But times they are changing and we need to change as snowmobilers to work to keep all the trails we can open.

    If it means trying to be in by 10 or 11 pm (shit happens sometimes yes) it's better then losing trails

  3. I got no problem with this.

    No need to ride after 10 or 11 pm.

    If you need it to be dark you probably are those who use the whole trail even in the daytime. Learn to ride on one side (your own please)

    should be no drinking and riding period. I know it's done but it's a quick way to die or kill me thanks

    Simple solution if you don't like it do not buy a pass and do not come to quebec.

    Go ride Old Forge or somewhere.

    Bad enough no one can stay on the trail and we are losing land use because guys need to play in powder on the farmers field now the same idiots will be out pissing off people at night.

    Can't fix stupid.

  4. No chance for your cell phone will work at the 22 !

    I do not think dooright cares if the cell works.

    I think it was just to show what is the only means to call from there with the phone booth pic.

    We don't need no stinkin cell phones.

    Sat phone yes please.

  5. Hearing about a problem near St Catherine I think it is. On TQ 3 east of Quebec city there is a problem with right of way.

    Is club Jaques Cartier I think.

    Groomer can you confirm anything?

    Hearing something about 369 and Tq 3

    A lawyer bought some land on a mountain and is blocking access for the TQ 3.

  6. We know that. The moon for sure. Just not as cold, well not the last trip anyway.

    How goes it brother?

    Leaves are turning here.

    Sure hoping for a real cold winter not half cold like last year. Bring the -40c I am waiting.

    Of course it needs to warm up to snow that is OK.

    Then freeze it all nice please, then Groomer and his fellow Ski Dozer guys to make it all nicey nice.

    Winter soon come.

  7. Thanks Schooter............ What to do.... The bat life is way better on the novi witch is nice.

    Nuvi is fine.

    Zumo has Bluetooth and other features you do not really need for the sled. If you want to use it on a motorcycle summertime that's a different story then.

    For sled nuvi is fine and can use in car rest of the year.

    Main thing is you need big screen to see it good.

    Hope it helps.

  8. Hi Alain love you ride reports, top shelf for sure.

    Not sure of the name but this is the Relais in the parc, between St. Donat and St. Michael des Saints

    for the Balbazaurd issue I have heard this place has gone way down since years past. Has never been the most friendly place toward sledders. The owner I met was the original I believe tough old French lady from France had weimereiner dog grey thing incredible animal. Had dinner cooked on piece of granite on the tables it was way cool and something I will never forget. But you needed to go inside when you arrive even if you just want gas. If you didn't go in and say hello they would not come out. I believe that owner is gone I have been by there but have not stopped. For sure the fires there hurt the hunting for them. It's like the moon around there for sure now, Such a big change.

    Nice trail though but have good equipment and sat phone. It's lonely country between Clova and Seneterre.

  9. Can anyone name this place

    It took me a bit to get this one but I think I got it.

    Doamine Driftwood on local trail (orange trail)

    between 63 and 309.

    Nice stop does not look like much from the front but the back and inside is nice. Good food and nice people.

    Rooms downstairs with a shared bathroom. Got some chalets too.

  10. I am a GPS rookie for sure. Just started to use one last season. Many of my friends have used them for years. I have a Garmin Oregon series with a touch screen. It is mounted on my bars on the right side and powered from the sled. I have the Quebec trail maps for SLED and QUADS. LOVE IT.

    The original GPS is built in my brain I know the trails well. This ia a great addition for sure.

    Garmin is the most popular and there are many many choices.

  11. I see that Relais 22 is for sale.

    Crazy price too.

    Not sure how much of the woods is left near there after all the fire action this summer.

    It is located in a strategic spot for sure. Needs some updating in the bunkhouse.

    Not a bad stop for gas and lunch but staying there sucks.

    Pourvoirie Gouin also for sale. On the reservoir.

  12. Hey Groomer!

    Does the sale price include the terrain or is it leased from the gov't and is just the business for sale?

    Nice place always busy sure is less traffic for sure compared to a few years back

    But There are always riders up in that area.

    I agree summer must not be as good for business as the sleds
