I start my saddle bag trip next Wednesday, what a great season!
-
-
Great report guys! Lots of groomer activity last night, should be smooth sailing today and hopefully the winds die down this afternoon.
-
I love the trail side snack pic, what’s the plan for today? Did you guys get a dumping of snow last night, Val d’Or received 40cm in the last 24 hours apperantly.
-
The award winning St Hubert in Val d’Or is the best place to eat according to locals. Forestel is hard to beat, fantastic food, newly renovated accomedations, and great lit up video servalace parking lot for the sleds.
-
That sounds like an amazing trip, Clova to Chibougamou would be a great ride.

Great report guys! What is the plan for tomorrow?
-
Thanks for the heads up, I think they have snow in the forecast over the next couple of days, that should help the trail conditions.

What kind of oil and where you headed? They have Ski Doo oil at the gas station in Parent just happened to see it don’t really look for that stuff anymore
Ski-doo semi synthetic preferably, we are leaving Mont Laurier and heading up to 83 across to Relais 22 then back down to La Tuque, across to Saint Zenon area and then back to Mont Laurier area.

Anybody out there know if the orange trail out of Clova straight South towards Rabaska/Club Gatineau is being groomed this yr.
Looks like there is a 9km section that is not passable by the groomer.

Weather is looking good and everything is nicely groomed for you, enjoy the ride today boys!
-
Great report, hopefully you guys find freshly groomed trails tomorrow.

A.B. Sports is 'doo dealer in Senneterre
I know Senneterre is good for oil. I want to know if anywhere along 83 from Lac Faillon to Roberval has bombo 2-stroke oil.

Great report and pics guys! No more freezing rain and ice pellets in the forecast, a little snow and then blue skies, enjoy the ride to Senneterre. Trail 83 Senneterre-Louvicourt-Val d’Or was just groomer last night.
Did you guys notice if 2-stroke oil was available at any of your stops?

Thank you! 83 it is then....
ICEMAN is running from Pouvoirie Windigo to Lac Faillon today, he will give a trail report tonight, it should be perfect and not effected by the warm up.

83 is the much better run IMO. You can get oil in Chiboug, Senneterre, Clova, Parent, Relais 22 and Roberval. Always carry an extra 2 litres just in case and you are good to go.
-
Any pics from today’s ride?

That’s going to be a GREAT ride and your staying at all the best places. IMO and I know the area well, there will be no need for extra gas on ANY of that trip. There is gas in several places that are not showing up on your map screen shot. Wemotaci, Relais 22 and Parent are just a few of them. This is assuming your sleds will comfortably be able to go 100 miles before you even start to worry and that still leaves plenty of wiggle room.
Any places to buy 2-stroke oil along the way?

Village du Windigo is real nice, classy stayed there with my wife. Bring a bathing suit, they had an outdoor hot tub. When in the devils mountain area, les chutes du Windigo is worth stopping for a few photos. Used to be a small hotel / restaurant beside it that we often stayed at but unfortunately it burnt down. The falls are still there obviously. Also going up to the devils mt summit, there is a trail / road marked CIP ( going from memory on the exact initials ), it takes you higher than the lookout summit and up to the massive cell towers. Worth the side trip.
If it is a blue bird day I will try and find the CIP trail to get higher better view. Every time I have visited Devil’s Mountain it has been cloudy and snowing, hopefully I have better luck this time.
