Thanks for sharing some photos.

I would definitely already own one of these but my municipal water is already pretty expensive.

Definitely beats staying at home. Love to see people adapting to overcome bullcrap obstacles to carry-on. I expect no less of the Quebecois.

Peak oil has always been nonsense. Peak electricity? Well that will be some bad juju. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/bryan-preston/2020/12/21/toyota-ceo-agrees-with-elon-musk-we-dont-have-enough-electricity-to-electrify-all-the-cars-n1222999

I gonna say I absolutely love my Sidewinder as I did and do my Apex and Attak that I still own. The Winder is a sexy beast, a rocket, but there is no denying she is heavy and I may be getting a Riot or a Backcountry. And yes, sense is anything but common these days.

I'm not gonna read all the posts I'm just gonna slap and move on. Reality (free market enterprise) killed the electric car. Now that reality has been suspended, untold numbers of people are willing to tail off one environmental impact for a MUCH worse one - mostly electric infrastructure. Renewables (absent cold fusion) will never surpass fossil fuels. There is more than enough fossil fuel to burn clean enough to least us until at least the next 2 extinction events. All electric or even hydrogen power will double greenhouse gas emissions and come along with the environment impacts of mining and disposing of the additional heavy metals needed. The world should be looking at tech to make using fossil fuels cleaner and increase efficiency and be building nuclear. Otherwise only look to California to see what the future will hold with electric rationing due to idiotic renewable %s mandates. Common sense always takes too long to prevail after upheaval. The next asteroid will take care of the rest (maybe a CME or EMP). Would make for a Dark Winter.

Nice to see PA getting some white gold riding in. Been a tough several years. I'm sure my sticker is current but its not even on my sled. No idea where it is. My 1st real organized trail riding trip was ANF trail 1. Great memories. We didn't even have helmets! I don't even remember the little town's name (KANE) but we made it to Westline and over east to Coudersport. I was riding a beat up '82 Enticer. Saw a lot of "Team Belly Pan" on that trip.

I read about those payouts for the 1st time in this referenced article. Just silly, it was a darn train track right? And much of it was and still is trail. Miss you guys! Hope you guys get to enjoy some semblance of a season.

Shoulda just put the trail back on the L' Ptit Train du Nord. Its idiotic! What a waste. Well I for one like this area so when ever we get back to Quebec it will help make starting in Lac Carling even better. Hopefully the club does some massive signage on either end of this trail. Funny to see that picture of the lady with that massive tow truck rolling behind her. Other than cans or extreme speed not much chance the trail will be louder.

THIS IS COMPLETELY EMBLEMATIC OF THE BULLSHIT TIMES WE LIVE IN. I was very tempted to remove the name calling until I dug even a little more. "As NPR reported in July, the government reached a deal for nearly two billion dollars to help distribute the vaccine. Pfizer’s own press release in July announced that the U.S. government placed an initial order of 100 million doses for $1.95 billion. No money went specifically into the vaccine’s research and development, but Pfizer absolutely did take government money, and was forced to walk back Jansen’s statement."

The New York Times described the partnership as ‘part of what the White House calls the Warp Speed project’ in July. THE New York Times NO LESS

Thanks to Operation Warp Speed there is hope for a vaccine. Undeniable. Just as undeniable as widespread voter fraud. DC is THE circus. The circus may never leave. Certainly not any time soon if Creepy Sleepy Big Guy and the demented diabolical democrats are finally able to complete their coup of lies against the man the American public elected to try to clean it up. By the way Big Guy says masks are better and Cuomo doesn't want Trump's vaccine efforts. Just keep sending the sick to nursing homes and let Fauci and family watch the Super Bowl without their masks.

Well done. Thanks for this post. Been riding Maine for 2 years now and have only done overnight Greenville to Rangley and have been really missing an authentic Quebec tour with places like 100 Lacs and the Richelieu.

A positive test should not be called a "case". #PCRtest The PCR test does not identify an active COVID-19 virus. It identifies, very often mis-identifies, a particular RNA sequence that is NOT SPECIFIC to COVID-19. Look it up. Over amplifying, which is widely being done, "will find ANYTHING you want". Conveniently the inventor of the PCR test died last year. Notice how many cases turn out to false positives. It may be as much as 10X! 1968 Hong Kong flu kiled 1-4M. No distancing, no masks, no contact tracing. #casesschmaces

Nice trip. I love that hotel and pool at Richelieu. Lucky young man.

Awesome trip. There are 3 La Cache hotels in CA. Definitely on our radar for rides from Moosehead region especially the one with the spa.

This is what I was thinking. Check grooming map day before and morning of and decide.

yep. slow down and attention peaked. Most times that first guy is the wildest but sometimes its the last guy trying to catch up who is the wildest.

Admitted hand signaler here. Only when control is possible and following sleds are not right with me (which is when it is most useful). Consider it a courtesy. Only learned of signaling from organizations such as FCMQ promoting it. To keep my hands on the bars I now run a Ridelite and I think its a good idea.

Like your videos. I would go If I could.

Beautiful report. I remember when we met it was the camera flash from a moving sled that alerted me. Those GoPros can be such a emmerde. Once I get fed up enough I give up too. My older Hero would run all or most of a day in the waterproof housing with it being charged by a battery pack - made its own heat from running and charging. My Hero 7 no such luck yet. I am actually working on a heater solution for mine. Not proven yet, so not sharing yet.

Cool pics.

Judging by the map it looks like they were using the lake to try get around a trail closure. The closed trail goes over the south end of the lake. Was always slushy when I rode it 10 years ago.

Leave the property through the tunnel. Go across the street behind the old ski lift and take local trail to right then right on 317. If you make a left on the local you can stop a Du Chasseur for gas then back track.

I have started 3 trips from Lac Carling. Yes you can.
