S pump Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 This morning at 8AM I thought todaywas going to be a wasted day but low and behold at 8:05 who should appear but Team Butt Paste. They were nice enough to let and old man, me, tag along behind them. We went up to Onatchiway, across La Cache, down Bras Louis, 93 to the orange trail that goes across the Saguenay. We rode 175 miles. We had about 3 inches of snow in town and 6 to 8 at Onatchiway. Temp was +28F this morning and at 5PM it was +2F. Cops were out training on Bras Louis today. The Butt Paste guys huh? Say Hi to John if he is still there...............did 870 miles last week south of the seaway, Florida this week then on to some serious riding......see you soon Bill...

Saguenay Bill Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Team Butt Paste left for the casino this morning via 93 and to 3. So I did laundry and took care of some Choko business. Rode 85 miles today around the Saguenay area. Forget what I said last Monday about trails not being groomed on Sunday nights. Every trail I was on was freshly groomed and I bet that on 75% of them I was first track. Any of you guys or gals who have a Mod 2 or BV2S helmet, take the big headed screws out and put blue locktite on them. One of the Team Butt Paste guys lost one yesterday so I gave him two of mine, one as a spare, and I went to dealer today to get them. $20 for two .10¢ screws. Gotta love the mark up. Bend over.

bob_o27 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey Bill, Looks like we were up that way a few weeks to early for you. Have you heard if 23 is open from Saint Raymond up to L'Estape. We got stuck last trip on our way back from the HI and ahd to re route from L'Estape towards Quebec city as 23 didn't appear to be open the rest of the way. The snow down south isn't so good and around Quebec City area it was SNIRT everywhere! Ride safe and have fun look forward to seeing you on our next trip. Bob Happy trails snow seekers!

Doo D Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Bill, I am coming to the HI and staying Sunday 1/24 as well as Thursday 1/28. Do you know if the hotel has rooms available in between? Me and the boys look forward to riding the Monts Valin and hearing about the current trail reports. Sounds like you are having a good time so far. Thanks for the daily riding updates. You are the man. Doo D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
