Hat's off to all you oil users, so much more involved to keep it rolling. Where to get oil? Where to Carry it? What kind is it? Tape the bottles closed. Mix different kinds or no? My head is spinning. lol. 
It is an addiction. Seek help. 

I know I should probably be on the right, but I ride the smooth side until I see another sled.

Oil 2S oils mix, don't get sucked into the hype.  BRP oil is available in many, many places, Parent, Mont Apeaka, towns with BRP dealers.  When you see it, buy 2.  Expect to pay $20 per L.  The $5 CasterOil mixes fine, as does the other synthetics.......

It going to be about 29$ US, I will take the extra Million in Ins for that price, One bad accident will eat that up.

I would like to donate my $42.00 to a Gratuity Fund for all the well deserving Groomer Operators and other dedicated club members.
Would be nice if all these people realized just how much we all appreciate their efforts. Lot of dark, cold lonely nights spend grooming so the rest of us can have our fun.
Hats off to all you men and women that make it happen.

when there is NO fuel at these out of the way places is really the only issue ...

I think he means 23?

Get rid of 5 guys. Just kidding, kind of. The last time we had 10 guys on a trip, we had a hard time doing 100 miles a day. Not to say it cant be done, but somebody with a gun better be in charge. One or two slow goers in the AM and gas stops and meals can really slow thing down to a crawl. Plus 10 sleds,if not all in good shape? Now if you really know all of your group really well and think they can do it, go for it. Your day trips dont look too long, and there are many hotels and services on your route. Take some time on this site, many posts about the places you want to go,If you drop down a few posts there is a great write up on things to take saddlebagging. Good luck and have fun.

I agree....just kidding, kind of.
Seriously, I did a trip to Val d'Or with a group of 8, we were all experienced sledders and knew the consequence's riding in a big group so it was decided off the bat before hitting the trail to divide up the group in 2. Agree on a lunch location then meet up there and regroup at the hotel. During the day we would keep to the same route and we hop scotch each once'n while and at times take breaks together. It was smooth sailing through out the trip. HPARaptor can chime in on this, he was on that ride.

I usually have a big group with me. One year I had 14 (we didn't backpack until we were down to 5), last year 4 came as a surprise making us nine and that was worse because I already preplanned a whole trip for five.  And I can tell you unquestionably it is a pain in the ass. Everything you do takes longer. Getting trail passes getting gas paying for your meals checking in and checking out of the hotel. And the poor sucker who rides in the back never gets to take a piss because as soon as he shows up everybody else is ready to go. Then you have nine possible missed corners nine possible blown belts and so on. I read all the time about guys doing 200 300 miles, hell 400 miles in a day. I got guys bitching when we crack 180.  It's all part of the fun.
Your plan looks good to me. your last two days will be short if you divide them up to Quebec city and to Shawinigan.  That's OK some of the guys might appreciate it. I would stay at the four points in Quebec City. There's a few others too such as the Quebec inn I've never been there. 
As long as you are resourceful you will be able to find anything you need almost anywhere when you are not in the bush. If you have some people who like specific oils or other things you should probably carry that. Otherwise a lot of places carry two-stroke oil, iso for gas, spark plugs and even belts but not hotels. Some places you will be  getting gas are servicing cars as well so you might be in a town where you might be able to hit a mechanic shop or at Canadian tire or another kind of box store. 
In a breakdown situation use your heads and get the sled to a town or nearest road and figure out from there. Depends on where you are and what's closest.  It's very common for locals to help even when there is a language barrier. It's also common to pay for a roll back or pickup ride.  RIP Bernard. 
 You should pre-plan where you're going to get your trail passes by calling ahead. Make sure everyone has all of the information they need and the proof of ownership for their trail passes otherwise some group of you will have them and some won't. That's no fun but can be exciting. 
There's already another recent thread about packing for bag trips and you should look into the GPS and security precautions threads. 
Have a great trip. 

Glad to see your on the mend . Wish you a speedy recovery!

Thanks for the report Alain, we are heading to this area Sunday, if the weather holds up, if not we go north.

Ive got a pair of rubber bottom slippers that have been all over Quebec, I forget the brand name, but if they could talk I would have to burn them.

Great to see, hope to do some riding out of the old Safari this year.

Hi Mac Builder.  Welcome to QuebecRider.
The most direct route from St Raymond to the Delta is 23, 368 then 383 and 83.  This will be about 190 miles.

With the new snow coming you should be fine, even if it takes you 3 days.
