  1. Bobler you'll be there

    Who you trying to kid?

    See ya on the starting line

    ER

    I am trying to kid my wallet, no matter how I look at it in order to give this a good effort I am $10000 short after I buy a new sled

  2. Which direction did you come from? We where hoping to Launcn from there on Tues out towards Repos, up to parent, chiboougamou back down the 355 any info would be great!

    came down from lac eduard. pipe line is fine, more snow then when we left on tuesday out of grandmere. If I were you i would leave from north end of river go to lac eduard to jacksplace, take private trail over towards relay 22 then north, then local trail towards st felician to chibougamou. heard plowed road around wymotchie for along distance. Now you have to realize I rode out of st raymond on sat when most wouldn't

  3. Can you describe the condition of the snow and trails in that area a bit. We did that last year and it was good but the snow obviously is less than stellar this year.

    Around the towns it was getting thin and snirt but other than that it was fine. Around grand mere dirt and thin esp as well as st raymond

  4. I know a few guys here were planning on riding Cains Quest..............looks like the race will be cancelled this year......rescheduled til March 2011........Bobler is gonna be pissed.......Lotta money raised and plans made for a lotta guys....

    No money raised for our team, all self funded, lotta money and time spent, we were a new team that was flying under the radar with alot of prep and plans to shake up the regulars. 2011? at this point. Need to find a $$$$ sponsor to make it happen

  5. Kanawata is the name of the place. It is not a town, it is a lodge on Lac Manouane. The manager is Mario I will look tonight for a phone # and post back. Def. want to call ahead. Probably about 60 miles from Repos the way the trail runs this year.

    How does it run this year? I tried following the old way last week and it ended at a plowed dirt road

  6. Not sure they are the best but they are the one i use....In the best $60 I ever spend...

    They are bolts on the front of the running boards and snapped under them when not in use. Work really well even on really hard base. Here pics of my buddy skid and mine on the same trail last spring

    my buddy Nytro skid without scratchers (this guys bought a kit like mine after this ride)

    and mine with scratchers

    The only flaw is that no reverse is allowed with that... In my case, I want to have something that will do the job in very icy conditions and the flexible one won't scratch as strong as those one in very hard conditions like the conditions you get on a trip on the next day after rain when all get frozen and the groomers don't had work the trail yet... With that, you dropped them down and go... Cheap, effective, easy to install.... took them at Royal Distributing...

    As for the reverse, I had made a flag that I was clipping on the reverse handle when I put them down on my old sled just to be sure to remind to raise them before puting in reverse... Had to do that on my new one....

  7. You got issues..........it's gonna snow 2 feet in NH and you are gonna ride a bike? You gonna ride your 09 in Cains? I wish I could race that with ya......not in the budget.......Billy sponsoring you?
