Changes coming to Hotel Universal Rivière-du-Loup
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to wng-2's topic in General Discussion
I didn't see any compound in the drawings. -
I think having to buy a $900.00 permit trailside if/when you get caught without one in Quebec is a VERY strong deterent. How old your sled is doesn't matter at that point.

LynX xTerrain Suspension Maintenance
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to MrGutz's topic in General Discussion
So did the dogbone have 4 factory installed bearings in it that were too small OD for the holes in the dogbone? -
Interesting that Doo didn't announce the recall until after the season is pretty much over.

Big accident on Autoroute 20 Montmagny
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to iceman's topic in General Discussion
I have to believe that a steel pickup would have faired better in that collision that this aluminum F150 did. I hope the individual(s) in the truck survived. -
Look at the web address in the box at the top of the paIf it has https: delete the s. That cured the issue for me.

I'm not sure about the US but in the past in Ontario it has been sled club volunteers who sell the advertising (that pays for the maps) in the summer. Everything is rushed so that the maps can be printed hopefully before the sled shows but at least in time for the sled season. When they are done many of these same volunteers start getting Mou's signed and trails staked and signed. There is just no time for worrying about map changes for closing of businesses shown on the maps and late trail location changes.

Damn, I'm getting old! I totally forgot about the New Liskeard/Notre Dame Du Nord crossing. -
Border to Border Quebec Ride, Which Route?
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to themainer's topic in General Discussion
There are only 2 trails into Quebec on the western side from Ontario as you are likely aware. A110Q from Kirkland Lake or A102Q from North of North Bay to Temiskaming. We rode the area around A102 last week. The trails had lots of snow after the rain and were in excellant shape. If you are going via A110Q, Signfan's idea to go south from Timmins makes via Gowganda makes the most sense for getting into Quebec to head to wards Chibougamau. Shortest from Gowganda east to Elk Lake then the A south, L161, L108, A109 to A110Q. There are 2 good spots to stay in Gowganda even though it is a very small community and fuel at a cardlock coming into Elk Lake on A107C. We did ride west towards Sudbury on the D trail (southern route) to Sturgeon Falls. The D was very good in that area this past Thursday. -

PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to themainer's topic in General Discussion
I think it was A102Q as trails going to Quebec from Ontario have a Q at the end to denote that. -
Drakkar under new ownership
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to Triggerhappy's topic in Mauricie-Centre du Québec
There are many very successful accomodations and restaurants that sell for top dollar because of their success then the new owners change the menu or services to what they think is correct. These newbies just don't get the don't mess with success idea. -

I need help planning a Trans Quebec trip
PISTON LAKE CRUISER replied to decee's topic in General Discussion
I wonder if he has insurance coverage for the sleds he is hauling. I'm not sure what my insurance would cover ,if anything ,if it was on a truck/trailer in Quebec and involved in an accident on the road. -

I wonder if he will do it for one sled? -

There is no longer a shuttle according to a number of posts on OC. You have to hire a roll back tilt & load. -
I'm guessing its ride on without saying it. Somebody,not the S.C. closed the bridge.
-
Here is the respose from Club Chibougamau: Currently our trails are surfaced. But, there are signs of closed bridges. We cannot legally announce it open but...

! sent a Facebook message to the club in Chibougamau earlier today asking what was happening with that section. Will report if/when i get a response.

I was wondering what is going on with trail 5 being red on the online map along the east coast of Gaspe from the Anse-a-Valleau area to the Coin du Banc area? There is a section of trail 5 around Riviere Au Renaurd that doesn't even show up as being available on the map. So I went to the FCMQ website and opened the Club List section. I was surprised to find that there are no clubs shown/listed on the map between Grande Vallee des Monts on the north coast to Grande Riviere on the south shore. That is a long distance not to have any clubs to take care of trail 5 and other trails in the area. Has there been some clubs drop out or is the map wrong? Something is going on and I have seen nothing in writing to explain the situation. Does anyone know what really is going on out there?
-
They have never opened this season. I read that it was lack of snow earllier on.
-
Works for me on a laptop with Windows. The on issue I have had is that "A Mistake has been made" sign comes up when I sign in. Can't find the mistake as everything works as it should.
-
Not around the coast according to the FCMQ online map. Trail 5 is closed from Riviere Au Renard south to the De Forceville local trail cutoff + more closures along the south shore.

I'm not sure I'd want to negotiate those stair steps going up after Happy Hours or down with a hangover!
