viper2 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I know it would be alot more driving in the car, but the best conditions right now are in the Abitibi. I rode through St. Felician on Sat. afternoon and the fields were very thin, like 6"or less. Up in the mountains there is plenty of snow. You could leave from Latuque if you wanted or Relay 22. From relay 22 you could go to Senneterre then ride around the Abibtibi (93 is awesome) then head back the third day. Check my trip report for more details.

If starting at relay 22 I would not be worried, no locked fence or anything but just pull the starter and fuel pump relays and be on your way. Not the type of place that sees alot of through traffic. As far as the route, as long as they don't get alot of sun or any rain you can pass by the west side of Lac St. Jean just watch the weather. I would def. stay on the local orange trails when you can. If you come down from Chib. to LaDore stay straight at gas station onto local trail (just watch you don't shoot onto the ATV trail #70) then when you get into St. Fel. to 373 go towards Roberval and at St. Prime make a right at the intersection in the field toward St. Hedgewich. I would reccommend running the 5kms into St. Hedgewich when you hit 83 so you have enough gas to get to Relay 22 without worry. It is about 80 miles from St. Hedge. to Relay 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
