  1. We have a saddlebag trip planned for feb 6th -13th We planned on starting from mont Laurier but I’m guessing after this weekend and warm temps next week we we might not be able to get back to mont Laurier to the truck and trailer if we are even lucky enough to leave from there. So we are changing our launch point and right now it is between du lac du repos, camp taureau ( Canada adventure, or we stay the first night in mont  laurier leave in the truck in the am and start our ride when we get to cheval (they don’t have a room for the 6th but do have 12th. We don’t want to travel in the truck more than we have to so I’m leaning towards camp taureau but do they have enough snow? So where would you seasoned vets start that has enough snow to leave and get back to, and isn’t too far away. We are coming from Syracuse, NY. And our loop is 

    mont Laurier (was)

    100 lacs

    relais 22

    chibougamau

    metagami

    lac fallion 

    mont Laurier (was)

    any help from people who have been through those starting points lately would be appreciated, thanks

     

  2. Thanks for the replies guys. Usually we start at mont Laurier be we only plan to ride 5 days. We’ll look into st Anne du lac but we’re kind of partial to 100 lacs. How are the roads compare getting to these places. I’m thinking the road to 100 lacs is dirt for awhile huh? We’ve stayed at relais 22 before and agree the accommodations are not great, we got there a little late and couldn’t get dinner but people were still eating, we were not happy. But windigo to chibaugamau is a far run, don’t you think. We also stayed at lac fallion before and liked it,(we like outfitters) but it would be a short ride for day 4. Does anyone know the name of a place to stay around Clova? Thanks again. 

  3. Plan on doing what we have called the polar bear loop this year if COVID permits. We plan to leave 

    1 100 lacs to relais 22

    2 relais 22 to chibougamau

    3 chibougamau to lebel sur quevillon

    4 lebel sur quevillon to clova or lac faillon 

    5 clova or lac faillon to 100 lacs 

    what do you guys think for a place to stay on night 4? Anything you would change? Open to suggestions. Thanks

  4. The Rohan bibs and jacket are the warmest klim ever made but I think they only made them for 1 year. My buddy has them and he don’t where them, says they’re too warm. We were in Val-d’Or this year I think it was -37* first morning and he was still debating wearing them.
