  1. What an adventure that would be.  Bucket list sled tour for sure.  I wanted to see the start of the Cains Quest iron-man race that leaves from Labrador City and runs roughly 2100 miles.

    I was thinking of jumping on the train in Sept Isles that runs twice a week Nord and twice Sud up to Labrador City.  Its a 8-10 hour train trip.  I once called (10 years ago) of the QNS&L railway to ask about bringing sleds in a freight car.  The language barrier was a problem.  I made no progress.  Maybe one of you French speaking salesmen could find out the cost to rent out an entire rail car and we could organize a large group.

    Google QNS&L.  Lots of reading.  One of the sites says you could load your car and bring if with you.

    We are looking to plan the season ender as well.  Valdor to the west has the least snow.  The Valins and around Lac st Jean look skinny.  And above the Saguenay river looks like they dont have much.  New Bruns and Gaspe look like the clear winners.   Im hopefull for a small bag trip from La Cabanon and north that might have less traffic this time of year.  Meekoos, 100 Lacs and that area.

  3. Asking for a friend of course.  I have friend who has heard the Quebec riding stories and i tease him badly every year with pictures.  He has ridden in the Adirondack's years ago prior to his ten year third offense DUI.  The ten year expires July next year.  He has expressed interest for this upcoming season and i told him i would ask the group here on QR.   Is this possible and what requirements are needed?  Please share your experiences.

  4. I just came in from the Gaspe 24-28.  Still has 3-5 feet of snow.  Looked for for the Iceman Yamaha with red stuffed animal everywhere.  No such luck.  We are planning an April fools trip thru Chic Choc's April 8-11th.  Fools only.  For anyone who still needs a season ender the Gaspe will most likely hold another couple of weeks.  Ten day weather forecast looks great.

    Cheers Mac

  5. Our group waited to long to plan this final trip of four days.  We are arriving Wednesday 23rd.  I'm not sure where to go.  We are not saddlebaging.   I love the Gaspe and can see they have plenty of snow.  The snow depth map looks good in the Quebec city area.  The Valins are awesome both are far 12 hours travel for us.  Are there any other options where they are still grooming?  We were planning Saint Zenon and they are not looking good.
