EastMark, looks like you played around for a bit in the Beaucville area this weekend. Always like that 545 that goes to the east out of Armstrong. Always a good run out of Jackman.

No Mike. Lol. Just a friend of mine. He gets new cat turbo every year!

Day 1: Left Wilson Mills Maine for Quebec City (Quebec In) 260 miles. X through NH. Great running. Nobody on trails! 03/20/19 Day 2: Quebec City to Jonquière (Delta) 235 miles. Good trails for most part. Little bumpy from Saint Raymond to L’Etape. Getting very thin around Jonquière. 03/21/19 Day 3: Jonquière to North Quebec City (Signature hotel, old 4 Points) 230 miles. Took 83 south, Clermont Express. Fresh snow in the hills, wet in the valleys. Over all good running. 03/22/19 Day 4: Quebec City trailered across and headed back to Wilson Mills via Couburn Gore ME. Fresh snow the further we got south. Around Lac Megantic and Wouburn QC, there was 18 inches of fresh snow. Broke trail 50 % of the way. Still a great adventure. 280 Miles. Great trip: little over 1000 miles 4 days.

Yes Mike, looks good! I see you have had a great year! Good for you! Hope to see you soon! Oilman

mcstar, We left from Beauceville this morning! All good! You have to love mid week! Lol Oilman

Just arrived by sled and checked in at the Universal! Great day of riding!! Oilman

Beaucville to RDL. 220 Miles. Trails were good. Good snow cover. Great to see a few of the Quebec riders at the bar at the Universal! Safe riding! Bill

In Beauceville now. Headed for RDL Universal tomorrow. Trails and weather look good! Bill

I am glad you were having fun as well 2Stroke. Amazing how good it still was for April 15. I know I had a blast. Thanks

Here is a few pics of today’s ride. Left Saint Agatha Maine and headed for Fort Kent. Crossed border went into New Brunswick then into Quebec. Rode up to Lac Pohenegamook for gas and lunch. What an unbelievable run for April 14!! The trails were 90 % Perfect. Some dirt and mud, but very little. Great Day. 190 Miles. How many are doing this today??? Lol!!

Great pics! Looks like a good snowpack for April 12!

That’s what we figured. Thank you

Thinking about heading to Fork Kent. Ride over to Moose Valley and then to Bathurst. Prolly head up Thursday April 12. Any indication that they will still be grooming at the end of this week into next weekend?

Thank you for the update!

Any updates on trails and trail grooming for this area. Looked like that got some new snow yesterday? Fort Kent got 12-14 inches.

Need a little more running start!!

Thanks Mike! Looks like temps good for next week to 10 days.

How much snow fell in the RDL area the past couple days?

Still looks good Mike like I expected. Great pics and updates. I am in Florida now 80 degrees in Winterhaven . Looking to go back up prolly around March 22. Sled out of Caribou this time and head that way. Long range looks good for temps to hold and more snow for the next 2 weeks. Will see when I get back up to Maine. Glad your haveing a good retirement!!

You can't go wrong riding out of RDL. Will be way better then anything in Maine has to offer except maybe the County no matter how much snow has fallen. The traffic gets distributed a lot better with a lot of different directions to go. I can't imagine that the trails will not be in good conditions. I was up there 4-5 days ago and all was flat and well groomed. The weather forecast looks like it will be cold enough for the next week or more for conditions to remain good. Looks like more Snow Tue-wed. It's definitely well worth the drive. Check in again with Mikerider, but should be all mint.

Day 4: Have breakfast at the universal at 7:00 and say good bye to Jack, Sandi and Mike. Thanks for the talk and memories. After we take off 85 south to 544 south and west. Again trails are 8-10. Take 544 to 35 west. We go beyond the lake and hit 35 east of lake. Trail was freshly groomed for 20 miles. First on the trail, that's always nice. Take 35 west to 557 south. Trail is fast and flat. Making real good time. We have lunch in Saint Pamphile at the relais du club de golf. Nice place of the golf course. Take 55 west to 551 south to Daaquam and stoped for a beer. Take 547 west back to 55 west. Still early so we stop at the club house on the corner of 55 and 547. Have another beve, and had North on 547. In the power lines we had West on orange trail to 545 south. Trails are all in great condition 9-10. We hit 55 again and go east for a mile or so and check in again in Lac Etchemin. 238 miles.

Day 3: Leave the Universal Monday the 5 th to do a day trip loop. Take 5 East out to Rimouski and jump onto 35 west. As Revct1 said the report showed this trail had not been groomed for a few days. Trail was mint. Head down trail toward Squatec to have lunch. Who do we see, of course Jack & Sandi. After a few tips on trail situation from Jack and after we have a great lunch. 571 south we go. Here again trail is mint and we have the trail to ourselves all the way down to Degelis on 85. Take the railroad bed north and stop at the Rivere de loup club house and have a beer. What a great ride and loop. Back to hotel. 252 miles.

Day 2: Head out of Lac Etchemin Sunday the 4th. Take 55 East to 549 north to 35 west to 547 north to 5 east. All trails were freshly groomed and good snow cover. We head toward Montmagny and trails are 8-10. Near the river trails got a little thin and slushy, but still ok. We head out and east for Rivere de Loup. Take trail 5 East to 559 north to orange trail and come in the back side of town. Great run. Thanks Mikerider "as I did that trail with him". Shoo, don't say anything. 215 miles and we are at the Universal. Great day!
