Just checked the info Gaspe site and many of the trails that were open and good are showing closed. Any one what what happended or is it an error?

Would like to do the Gaspe this winter but regular partners are not available. If any group needs a fill in would be happy to go. Experienced rider with great sled (AC of course, haha. Hoping for mid to late february and could meet in the area. Have done part of the area before and would like to do some of the interior trails this time round. Any interest email me at mrappraiser@rogers.com Thanks Mike

Thanks!

have not done this section before but expecting to go this saturday, how much riding time should one budget for this run to the HI and where is the best place to gas up along the way? Thanks Mike

x2 would like to run up the following weekend!

Groomer I see the interior section from Perce to Murdockville is not open. Is that because of no snow or is a lot of this area still rebuilding from the floods? Thanks Mike

I called up and they said trails not yet groomed. Dominic has gas open now but nothing else will be open until next week. Trail from Clova to Parent is apparently open. Tamarac will be opeing the 10th of jan. Mike

Thanks!

any one heard if any thing is open that way, trails or establishments? Would like to run up that way this week if possible. Thanks mike

Please post when you hear the details for Clova & area, was hoping to go up around the 27th Mike

mt valins just back, they will be riding for a few weeks yet.

by buddy called last night says he had had 2 days so far of great riding. Says its snowing like crazy, expected to wake to a foot of snow this am. Says around town was thin but mountains was great even without ths new snow. says riding will last for weeks!

going up thursday will let you know when i am back. a group i am meeting up with left sunday and i have not heard anything yet so i assume its good, weater is showing snow next 2 days. Mike

thanks but i can not get out during the week this week. Got a ride partner who is heading out with me next weekednd. Went out today from Mt Pellier to St Jovite. Wasn't pretty, we need cold or its done in this area. Mike

how is the snow, wet or fluffy, will the temps allow for good grooming? Any one please post.

My buddy backed out earlier this week and i would like to get out for the weekend. Have truck will travel. Either Abitibi or Shawinigan area but open of course for offers. If any one has room or would like a partner pm me or email mrappraiser@rogers.com Thanks Mike

Thanks, thats the one i was thinking. Will they be getting more fuel or is that it for the season, any word? Not an issue for me but for some it will be.

is there not another stop for gas near the old Mcdault, i know in the past there was. Let me know Thanks

i'm sure some one else will give you more exact. From Ottawa it is 600km's +- door to door. Montreal is about 1.5 hrs closer. Depending on traffic & drive stsyle i would say about 4 to 4.5 hrs. I'll tell you better in a couple of weeks when i come back.

we left from there this weekend. gas up at le domaine and then at the Indian reserve 110 miles, no need to go to Jonas for their over priced gas. Then fill up at Louvicourt if you want or go straight to Val D'or, its about 75 miles from reserve to Val D'or and overall about 5 hrs riding. Trails were good but still have some tigs sticking out of the snow but they are well worn and don't bother anything. Have not gone from Val D'or to Clova this year so I can not comment on trails but likely the same overall. Gas is not a problem so long as you fill up in the main centres. Mike

yes thats right. the trail was so nice it looked like the main trail and i was not expecting the change from previous years. My buddy was running an old 800 triple so he took some gas but most new machines are good to go.

Was in Val D'or this weekend, rode up from the south but trails to Val D'or were great. I assume if they were great below and getting there that they would be as good above. Mike
