  3. Wanted: 3-day Quebec Saddlebag Loop Recommendations

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So I have done a couple of saddle bag loops in Western Quebec:

    • Mont-Laurier to Lac Adonis (Pourvoirie 100 Lacs) to Saint-Michel-des-Saints (Pourvoirie Pignon Rouge Mokocan) and back to Mont-Laurier.
    • Saint-Zénon (Auberge Le Cabanon) to Lac Saint-Jean (Relais 22 Milles) to Lac Sacacomie (Hotel Sacacomie) and back to Saint-Zénon.

    Had a great time both times but want to ride some new trails and visit some new places.

    I am looking for recommendations on 3 day / 4 night loops. We are coming from Rochester, NY and obviously want to minimize our towing time to the drop point and would like a drop point (where we would stay the first and forth night) to be somewhat secure.

    300 to 400 kilometers per day would be ideal. And we are planning on visiting in mid-February.

    Does anyone have any loop recommendations???

    I am not entirely against staying at the same place (and not saddle-bagging) if different 300 to 400 kilometer loops can be done each day from the same location.

    Thank you!

    I'm sitting in the back seat of a Subaru with Andre and Ronnie leaving Degelis with a fireman who is taking us 2.5 hours back to St Pamphile to get the truck 

    Jeffrey is in the hospital in RDL

    Long story short is Andre is leading then Ronnie,  Jeffrey and I in the back which is rare. Straight flat section of 571 outside Degelis heading south but some rollers and blind straights. When Andre crested the hill approximately 100-150 ft away is a groomer BROADSIDE in the trail as he was sliding and couldn't make the hill. His dragg kicked sideways and took up the whole trail.

    One guy...the newbie Ronnie was the only one who with his sled walked away unscathed. 

    Mon Ami Andre is fine but his sled is totalled twice over. I have a knot the size of a tennis ball on my thigh from the handlebar and the 1200 is gonna be OK with a thousand bucks

    Jeffrey's sled looks OK but he running board is curled pretty bad

    Point is its nothing short of a BIG miracle someone didn't get killed

    There's a LOT more to this story that I will get into later.

    THANKS for everyone's well wishes and I'll get back with more info when I have it

    @snowmaster2112 I am glad you are OK!
