    Resolved for this year
    Volunteers will be able to maintain the main trail through the City of Saguenay.
    Discussions have intensified over the last two weeks, so that the difficulties that were jeopardising the opening of the snowmobile trail that runs from La Baie to Jonquière, the Trans-Québec 83, have been resolved and it will now be accessible.

    Everyone has there favourite areas of Quebec , here’s some of ours.
    1. Gaspe Bay, I would say the most scenic region of Quebec. The loop shown on the map would be a 5-6 day trip. Every day is scenic riding . 
     
    2. Quebec City- Lac St Jean-Mont Valin also a great ride with lots of scenic areas. Loop l show here is trip my wife and l did last March. If you want more miles then include a loop around Lac St Jean, if going around the lake be sure to include riding trail 373 north of the lake.

    Brought it in the garage to change some clutching and install my “Quebec” windshield instead of the 3 inch tall one that came with.

    Wow! Did they deliver your sled to Mont Valin??? You should have got someone to take the picture with you standing beside the sled so we do not think this is "fake news"!!

    mccaffrey reacted to iceman in TQ3 reroute around Pessamit not available this season.   
    Crossing Pessamit
    The Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec (FCMQ) is in negotiations with the Innu of Pessamit, as it would like its members to be able to cross their territory while awaiting the completion of work on the section.
    The North Shore administrator for the FCMQ, André Thériault, is confident. "We want to reach an agreement with the chief, Marielle Vachon. We always manage to reach an agreement. We have to be positive," he says.
    The Pessamit Innu Band Council did not respond to our requests for an interview.
    Some 5,000 snowmobilers have trail access rights on the Côte-Nord.
     
    If no agreement is reached.
    Snowmobilers still won't be able to travel past Pessamit this winter. The new Trans-Québec 3 route, still under construction, is impassable.
    Work to bypass the snowmobile trail east of the Rivière
    Pessamit is behind schedule.
    Since the community of Pessamit prohibits snowmobile traffic on the 33 kilometres of TQ3 that cross its territory, non-native snowmobilers will have to bypass this segment again this year by using a road towing service.
     
    The Manic-Quad  club, which is responsible for the project, says that the work, which began in 2021, will not be completed until next year.
    "The work is behind schedule. The drilling for the blasting should be finished this week, and the clearing next week. Eight kilometres are already passable, with seven to go next year," explains club president Pascal Morneau.

    RAVE RE and Renegade are both 137.  Renegade XRS has the best suspension Ski-Doo offers in a trail sled.  Lynx is next step up, more like a "XRS+".  It's geared towards stability in the bumps.  Sit and cruise guys will be more happy with the Ski-Doo options.  I like them both 😏

    Yep you are all spot on it: the devil's mountain relay/point of view
    @Pipemaster: I was thinking the new relay was on the same spot but maybe not exactly the same but not far because it was really near of the top of the big hill of the trail on the east side as of today. Being on the same summit the view is the same for sure
    The old relay with no electricity was quaint and very special. Even 23 years ago it was a 40 years step back going in there! Kristine when going to the toilet in the back that was a very small room with a wood step with an hole in it had the surprise to see her toilet paper piece rising back from the hole and flooting in the air from the mountain backdraft !!!😂😂😂

    this one just aside the new relay

    Since my last visit they have built an observation tower near the relay that seems really nice. Here a pic took on the net

    Great idea on the thread.  I am definitely ready for some “throttle therapy” as Kenny calls it.
     I have no clue on the clubhouse, looks  remote. 
    I love meeting fellow QR riders on the trail.  Those would be some of the best pics, but I always forget to take one.  Here are some favorites to keep the thread going.
