GT Rider

We continue on to Sainte-Anne-des Monts. We arrived at 6:30.

Then we see another one. He is in no hurry. We move slowly and he walks off into the woods.

We saw a moose in this area a few years back. I am on the lookout.

There was a shared section of road that was looking a bit rough. It went quickly.

We stopped for a break at La Cache. They are busy today. After a quick lunch we head to 595 north. The trail looks really good. I like this section.

We spot some QR team stickers on the way.

A few miles out of Murdochville the trail starts getting a bit choppy. We stop for fuel and head to the Chic-Choc trail. Hoping it’s a good as the other day. We are in luck. The trail is nice.

We continue on to 597. The trail is in top shape. We are making good time.

We stop at a scenic overlook but trees are growing in and the view is not what I remember.

Day 4 238 Miles We are off to a late start about 9. Over to Petro-Canada and Fuel up. The gas trail is really beat up. We take TQ5 towards 597. The trail is in nice shape.

Hi sledzz Thanks. I am using an iPhone so I can post. I am also using a camera for better pictures when I get home. Also have a GoPro 7

Hi Mike We are heading to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts tonight. I guess we’ll see what Mother Nature throws at us.

I see that some of my pictures are posted in reverse order. I’m not sure why.

We rolled in to the hotel about 6. Another great day.

TQ5 is looking a bit heat exhausted in spots. After leaving the relais there are a couple of shared plowed roads. While not very long they were ruff.

We stopped for fuel and head East. We decided to take a break at Relais Tourbillan.

We crossed the covered bridge at Saint-Edgar. The trail was holding up down to TQ5

We make our way south and it’s warm. The streets are melting.

We take a quick break at La Cache and head south on 595. Again the trail is in super condition. It’s a great run down to Pin Rouge. Last time we were in this area there were more deer than I could count. I am taking it easy on the lookout. I am surprised that I only spot 2 and they were shy no pictures.

As we head west the sky is getting a bit cloudy. It’s a great run this time around. We have had a private trail so far (54 miles). I see the lookout sign for Mount Lyall. We go to investigate. As we approach I see about 15 snowmobiles. We get a few pictures and head off to La Cache.

We get on the Chic Choc trail to La Cache. We are in luck the trail is in super condition.

Day 3 233 miles We are packed and ready at 8. It’s a blue sky day. The trails out of Murdochville are in nice shape.

We have sena 20S. This is our first time using the oxygen helmets. So far so good. I’m carrying a spare power cord just in case. It’s the third season with the 20S. We are on a two up so I can’t comment on distances. I like them much better than Collett’s we have used for years.

Hi JG That Gaspesian road hog thought he owned the trail. Took his time to let me pass. We should be in town on Friday if the weather gods are kind.

After lunch we are heading to the shell station in Grande-Rivière. When we get back to TQ5 it clears up again. We go a few miles and back to fog. We gas up and head for Murdochville. When we reach 597 it clears up. The trail is in nice shape. We get up around the orange trail and pass the groomer. It’s a nice ride into the Copper hotel.
