This morning we left Phenegamook, took 35 to 563 which was covered with fresh snow which made for a great ride, we did lose the trail at one point as it was not marked well, a quick look at the app and we back tracked and found the trail and onto 85 to the gas in Deglis, 85 was good as well, we back track a little and take 571 north which is excellent all the way to Sqatec, have lunch and onto 35 to 5 both good as well all the way to the 579 intersection, we checked into Domain Valga with 165 miles, looking like a daisy tour with these low miles and look who just pulled in.....Jim and Gemma and they did 270 miles!. Getting ready for dinner, not sure where we are going tomorrow. We only saw 7 sleds all day. Full house here at Valga.

Looking to park somewhere in St Raymond for a short 3 day ride. Where is the best place to park and where can I buy trail passes? Did not buy yearly pass this year......Have not been thru St Raymond for 10 plus years so kinda lost. Plan to head east on 3. Is there a better place to park? Want to miss Quebec City so thought we would go to Letape and down 369 to skip Quebec City. Thanks for advice. Mike
You can park at Roquemont, maybe the dealer next door sells passes, or they will know

Enjoy your trip Mario!
Thanks Tom!
This morning we left Lac Echemin up 55, WOW, ausome trail 10/10 all the way to St. Pampile, we gas up and have lunch and continue on to next intersection 55/557 and I decide to take 557 north and again it just ausome, a quarter of the way up I,m thinking what a great choice I made, no one on this trail, I am coming up to a turn an here comes a 2 upper, as they get up to me I see a winch on his bumper, I start waiving like a lunatic but the don’t see me, I figured it had to be gtrider, who else has a winch right? I sent him a message to see if it was them. Pulled into Phenegamook at 2:45, short day with 160 miles, again, enough for the wife!
We are now in Mikerider domain, Bas St Laurent, not sure where tomorrow!

Left Drummondville, took 532 , 525, 35, 538, 25 in to Thetford Mines for lunch. All were great conditions. Had lunch at Tim Hortons and decided to head to Lac Echemin for the night. We continued on 25 to 55 now the trails are a bit rough, it is Sunday after all to be expected, but ok, some of the trails are shared with atvs, that doesn’t help. Pulled into Manoir lac ecthemin at 4:30. 185 miles, enough for the wife. Today we may head to Pohenegamook.

Mike you went out by yourself?

What happened with Iceman?

Spoke with one of the clubs yesterday, winds have calmed down and they had all 5 groomers out yesterday, he said all should be very good today!
We will be up this Saturday, to start a saddlebag trip from there (Drummondville).
Interactive map seems to support that this morning, and it will be cold this week so it should hold up.

Ask "Stupe", he parks there, I think it is part of the motel.

That's a big hole!

If it’s the old Bernieres then trail head and truck/ trailing packing across the street. Didn’t have issue with anything. Haven’t been there since 2017 so don’t know what has changed.
Someone (Jack I think?) had posted that the new restaurant went up in the parking lot across the street!

Recommend launching out of Blanchet Motel. Connecting Trail to TQ45 at rear of their parking lot. I have done this multiple times without problem. Ken P
Thanks Ken, that is what I was looking at to park and launch from, I will check the long range forecast next week, then call them.

Anyone been in this area lately and has anyone one started a saddlebag trip from here?
I want to try something different , tired of doing the same areas over and over, last time i was in this area was over 20 years ago!
Any other suggestions on starting points not far off Autoroute 20?

Thank you Jim and Gemma for letting us ride with you to radar tower and to lunch at Groomers club house. We took 5 back to Rimouski and stopped at L’Empress, at 4:30, was too cold to try making Trio Pistoles. We are going to head to Montmagny today, hope to reach truck in Drummondville on Friday.
