Windigo is closed as well.  Relais 22 still open.  She's winding down.

Well it sucks that my season is over.  But can't complain.  Little over 3000 km which is average for me.  This last trip was just shy of 1300 km.  Disappointed that 373 was closed on us the day before leaving which changed our plans significantly.  Portions of TQ83 and TQ93 more than made up for it though.  
 
Couple highlights / things I learned
- investing in some ski wheels is a good idea.  Maybe next year
- not many places to eat or sleep open in Tadoussac in the winter.  Rode into town at 7 pm with no plans.  We ended up staying at the youth hostile.  Laughable now, but it was the best option.  $30 a head.  Beer at the bar was only $3 a piece and this was the only way to get fed (restaurantsall closed and no where to cook anything at the motel).  Bought frozen pizzas from the convenience store ($33 total for 3 of us) and cooked them ourselves. The hostile gave us full access to the kitchen.  No showers.  Great people there.  Just had to do our own dishes and put our sheets down the laundry chute when we left.  Our group was a 25 year old, 39 year old and a 58 year old.  They didn't seem to mind.  I'd seriously consider staying there again.  
- mid week riding is the key to good trails around Quebec City.  Had a bad experience in the past.  They were perfect this time through
- I can't decide which is my favorite.  TQ 23, 83 or 93.  All are gorgeous super highways.  Probably 83 if I had to pick 
- if attempting a ride late season in the future I'm going to pull out a topo map to help plan it.  Staying on high ground made a huge difference.
- neat history on Mont Apica.  Part of the pine tree line.  Enjoyed reading the history board posted there.
- I have to go back to Saguenay to ride trail 373 next winter.  Darn that's gonna be tough.
- not sure what causes this but our group was 25, 39 and 58 years old.  25 year old riding a 2018, 39 year old riding a 2016 and the 58 year old riding a 2007.  Not sure if that makes perfect sense or if it's ass backwards.  Lol
Time to get back to work building our new house.  Will hopefully help to fend of the SSAD (snowmobile separation anxiety disorder) by staying busy.  To those that are still riding I'm jealous.  Can't wait for next season.

Not much for photo taking, but I'll upload a few.  TQ23 today was mint.  Absolutely perfect.  Had a blast.  Great day to end the season.

The clubs are trying to avoid birdge deck damage from studs and carbides.  Decks are bare.  So they closed the trail.
