I think we need to nip FAKE NEWS right in the bud!!! Come on GNN (Gutz News Network) you can do better than that.
It wasn't March it was mid February & it wasn't Hebertville it was Delisle at the Shell station at the intersection of 169 & 172 where Danny Doo picked up Team Gutz.
I heard from an Old timer with a lot of riding miles in the Saguenay the Shell once had a BQW working there.
I believe the gauntlet has been laid down!!!
Don't underestimate the trolls of QR....

Nice write up.  
Can't wait to see the pictures. 
If you need remote hosting,  send me the pics.  Will upload and pm you the links.  

Foul Weather Friends.

Foul Weather Friends.

River near the Comfort Inn. All that snow from up north is melting fast. 
 

Saw a post from them (Caribou Conscrits) shared by Passion QC 
last surfacing was the 17th of Bra Louis and from KM 31 to the Barn I believe if I remember correctly. 
It did snow up there Sunday. But it's ending. See ya next year. 

Ridden worse.....

That'll freeze right up!

Same look my dog has when the dog park is flooded.

188 days?, don't rush me! I got to store the sleds, get the bike out and prep it, get the boats out and clean them up, put the docks in the water, then haul them out, haul and store the boats, put the bike away, bring the sleds out and give them a preseason go over and somewhere in there find time to cut the grass and take the empty beer bottles back to the store!😁

Trails are all but finished near Shawinigan. For Snowmobiles. Surely there are still some parts OK but that is gonna be way up past Mattawin. If at all. Been raining big here 2 days going on 3 tmmrw. Not worth it. Unless you hate your sled.

Think I'm going to pulled the trigger and Sno-Chek a new 850 Renegade X
Presently riding a Yamaha Viper so will need new luggage and gas options etc. Never dreamed I would go back to a 2 stroke but doing a lot of research and keep hearing about the FUN factor about the 850. Lots of times from long time 1200 riders.
This year on our Gaspe trip there was 8 of us. 4 4 strokes and 4 2 strokes. We started the first day with the 2 strokers at the back of the line. that worked for the first hour😀. It's seems you put a bunch of males in nature the Alpha Male issue comes out. So we spent the week with a few of us switching off riding point. By the end of the day we all stunk.
See lots of pictures on QR with different combinations of bags and gas cans. What are you running, or if you were starting out new what setup do you suggest.
Assume need to carry some extra gas and would be nice to accomandate 4 litres of oil. Wonder why some genius at BRP hasn't had the fuel can suppliers develop a gas/oil combo can from that 14L base stackable fuel caddy. 1/3 oil 2/3 gas would be perfect. With the mileage of these new sleds gas isn't often a huge issue. 2 gallons of spare fuel would be lots for comfort level for the majority of riding in Quebec.
For you guys that rode the the 850 this year what windshield do you see being the most practical for this coming year. The new adjustable windshield looks interesting but will be pricey by the time you get everything need to make it work.
These sled companies sure have mastered selling us an expensive engine and chasis then you have to spend another zillion dollars to buy her a prom dress and matching shoes and purse to make her respectable enough to take out in public.😄😄
Pictures of what your using and the pros and cons would be great.
Thanks Steve
 

The iMotoneige app will be able to predict what the trail conditions will be like in two weeks

Nice video Alain, always enjoy your trips and pictures. We were on the river this morning and it looks much different, it is the flattest I have ever seen it, no snow left, just soft ice in some spots. Almost done.

You know me guys finger on the pulse ... lol   

Hi Jack + Sandi, you have got to try the Ice Ripper it really is a great compromise for trail riders. Not as good as real studs, but they work well, you know you have them when you need them. Happy trails,  Steve

Hi Gary.  We had talked about an ice ripper track a number of times but Sandi feels more confident with the studs.  Neither one of us have had the opportunity to ride on an ice ripper so I can't compare.  The last time we pulled a stud was on her 2010 GSX.  I know that is one of the disadvantages of studs but it is worth it if Sandi feels safer.
Jack & Sandi

Good luck guys, we got stuck in a storm like this one a few years back in Baie St Paul, snow was deep, but the problem was finding road crossings after they plowed. Safe trip.

Hey boys, a little less breakfast and maybe you could go over dem drifts instead thru them. lol
