Last we heard from NE Bob was that he was organizing horseback tours. We wish him well for sure.
same here
-
No, we graduated from NE Bob. He did a good job of showing us the ropes. I remember our first conversation back in '98 when there was no snow in the Berks, and he said the only downside of riding with him in Quebec is we'll never wanna ride in the Berks.
Here's a link to pics from this ride... http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/creati...Photos-_-Sharee
thanks for the pics,you ever hear from bob?does he still ride? it is true when you discover snowmobiling in quebec its hard to ride
anywhere else. its great only living a short distance from the best trail system on planet earth.

ANYONE KNOW THE CONDITION OFF THE PIPE LINE FROM RICHARDS 355 N TO LATUQUE AND UP TO LAC EDWARD AND STILL GROOMING ?
i spoke to richard at meckinac on tuesday night and he said they had snow and the pipeline had been groomed
last weekend but the warm temps that they had was melting snow FAST.with temps in the high 30's low 40's all the
way to lac stjean we decided to cancel our trip.

Again I want thank you 2 for helping me reroute my trip, I canot ride alot a lot of days in a row do to my work but I can ride alot of miles in day when I get the chance, in my 2nd life there will be more days in a row to ride, good luck SPM on your trip, thank you.
what plans did you decide on?
-
viper,dooright many thanks
-
I know it would be alot more driving in the car, but the best conditions right now are in the Abitibi. I rode through St. Felician on Sat. afternoon and the fields were very thin, like 6"or less. Up in the mountains there is plenty of snow. You could leave from Latuque if you wanted or Relay 22. From relay 22 you could go to Senneterre then ride around the Abibtibi (93 is awesome) then head back the third day. Check my trip report for more details.
thanks viper, is there a good safe place to start from in latuque?how about relay 22 no problems starting there?
are you talking about 83 west to sennetere and then part of 93 then coming back the same way or going all the
way around to chiougamau to st felician
-
Sounds like a plan ,going to call Richard and get 1 night booked, spm let me if you hear anything more many thanks.
no problem,keeping my fingers crossed that the snow is going to hold up.
-
Which way are you going?
north to reberval or st felician,the route depending on conditions,i will be talking to richard tonight for an update on conditions.
he has riders leaving today to go that way and will be able to give an update.
