    We start from from Mon Joli Hotel in Mont Joli.

    Reason being you leave your truck keys with them. If you break down they have a guy that will come rescue you. Had two trips where a machine in the group broke down. Real life saver when your 100’s of km from your truck

    Took your advice last year.  And yeah.....we also had to use that guy.  Lol. Great setup.

    I passed through about a week ago. The easiest gas is on the trail out of Gaspe at the multiGaz station. Then out of Perce into Grande Rivière at the shell station.

    Thanks for the heads up GT.....good example of how not ALL the amenities show up on the app.

    Thanks Grampsledder...Oh yes for sure.  I have the app but important to understand not ALL services are always highlighted on the maps. 

     

    I believe It's a paid advertisement thing that not all hotels, gas, businesses pay for.  In a lot of situations in other regions of Quebec I have seen services (i.e GAS, Hotels) that we use while riding that do not show up on the iMotoneige map app.  Just wondering if there are any of these that aren't showing.  

     

    All good....we are headed south before we go into the interior so will stop somewhere down south before heading up to Murdochville.

    We stayed at Roland 2 weeks ago and we found out when we got to Perce that there was no gas.  We were kind of needing it, but we did manage to make it to another place in the morning. 

    Where did you end up getting gas do you remember?

    Well I just did some calling around and it turns out Table Roland is closing for the winter March 5th, 2020.  Apparently the owner is taking some time off early as he is getting up in the years.  That being said, I spoke with another Motel Owner (who was not open) and he had mentioned that Roland and the Bed & Breakfast outside of town (Au Coin De Berge) are the only places to stay in Percé during sled season.

     

    Also found out NO GAS IN PERCE.  Glad I called.  We will stay at the Bed and Breakfast.

    Thanks everyone.  Looks like we are going to keep our day 4 and 5 option open and probably end up doing something of a hybrid of what was suggested.  We'll see how my son feels and if he feels like riding an extra couple days or we can cut it short and go back to the truck.  Going to stop at Mont St Anne on the way home and do some snowboarding so he may just want to get there. 

     

    Thanks guys I'm complete newbie in the gaspe and this site was very helpful much appreciated !

    Just booked the B&B in Perce. After I leave Perce and work my way up to the Copper....it's only 167km.  Should I make my way over the LaCache or stay at Copper?   Trying to keep the days between 250-275 but wondering if the interior requires longer days.   

     

    Heading to LaCache would give me about 270km

    Ok guys...…just got back from riding.  Thanks for all your replies.  

     

    FUSE6---- Awesome !  Thank you.  will definitely try that route out and thumbs up on the hotel and museum suggestions.  We definitely want to see the mountains.   

    VIPER2 ---- 3 up to 6 days.  Depends on conditions and weather etc.  Again...open to suggestions but we really want to get up into the Chic Chocs so its looking like 5 days.    

     

    Thanks guys.....I have this thing almost nailed down.  Going to drive up to Matane....F#$%K it.  Its almost 14 hours but hey....who cares.  Stay at Quality Inn in Matane?  (Suggestions)…..then start my ride mostly unplanned.  Will do as suggested and just call ahead in the AM.  

     

    LAST QUESTION....besides Pearce Rock what else would you guys consider a MUST SEE or MUST STAY?

    Hey guys.....I ride most of Quebec EXCEPT never rode Gaspe.  I live in Niagara region and thinking of leaving truck at Quality In and starting from Matane.  Is this too far to drive up or should I be leaving from from some point more south?  We have limited days because my son is on march break.  So my thinking is to do the North, East and South shore of Gaspe down to the 595 then up through the Chic Chocs back up to Matane.

    How's that sound?  thinking around 300km days......dont want to rush and prefer riding in daylight.  I am completely open to suggestions...changes etc.  Thinking of pre-booking Matane but that's it.  Was hoping to ride and stay wherever we feel.  Think this would be a problem?
