My wife and I will be arriving late Saturday afternoon/early evening. Hope to meet you. Mark

The wife and I will be at The Universal this Saturday night through Wednesday doing day rides. If any of you are there or passing through say hi ! I will start the yearly RDL conditions thread while there. Mark

Thank you, that's what I needed to know !

Looking for some intel for a trip plan. I have done the outer (coastal) trail loop in the past. Can anyone shed some light on what we might expect on the orange/local trails between the 5 just below Gaspe to 597 and the orange/local from Murdochville to 595, are they usually fast and good or more goat path and not groomed well. Any and all comments welcome. Thank you in advance. Mark

Are you going to be in residence Friday night mikerider ? Stupe and I will be arriving in the evening for the night for a quick little trip.

Paid via paypal last week, still not showing as a contributing member ?

With just the boys we like La Glaciere but 2 thumbs up to Vieux Moulin, super place ! That's where I took the wife this year for 4 days for her first ever Quebec trip (yes, you heard me right, I took the wife). She fell in love with Quebec and the Vieux, the massage I booked for her helped also.

Have not stayed at Meekos but enjoyed 100 Lacs last week on our trip, great food and wine and Paul the owner is super friendly and speaks English very well.

Balbuzard is awesome, Laverendrye is just ok, rooms are small and you share 3 bathrooms with all the rooms, dinner was sub par as compared to the other places we stayed on our trip last week. Mark

La Glaciere gets my vote, Lionel the owner tends the bar and waits the tables, his wife is a chef, the food there in my opinion is hands down far superior to cabanon. Parking for trucks in a snow bank enclosed area that gets blocked in by a vehicle at night, sled enclosure that also gets blocked in at night, new security cameras in the sled enclosure, as with Cabanon, gas on site.

The dogs only went after 1 of the guys

If you are the owner of a truck with CT plates 6050CX with a big brush guard on the front doing a loop from Drakkar, your truck alarm has been going off for 2 days according to a friend that is staying there. If you read this and have a key stashed somewhere , call Drakkar so they can shut the alarm off. Many unhappy guests that can't sleep.

And Stupe, don't forget to mention as a warning to everyone on QR, the northern end (beginning) of 386 is outright dangerous...those steep hills or rises are very steep drops of 20 feet or more and almost vertical on the other side, even at 20 mph you will become airborne and not likely land well, I bring up the rear in Stupe's trips as I just don't ride very fast and I had 2 bad landings before I started to just creep over them. These places desperately need some warning signs or grading. I am not one to over exaggerate but it is BAD !!!

Enjoy your retirement Mike, I have been retired 13 years and have loved almost every minute of it. We WILL meet up at the Universal this season !

Thanks playhard, we stayed at Roland last time and he had gas but as I understand it the last 2 years no gas. I would really like to show my friend the rock but if not, the rest of the trip and scenery should make him happy
