towing Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Here is our yesterday loop ride February 11 in Mauricie area With perfect winter conditions, we left the Champlain area with our ride partner Snowcruiser and his friend Michel. Here on trail #351 along #40 highway #40 eastbound At the first junction we passed under the highway via the local trail towards St-Luc de Vincennes. Here on a small bridge, not the prettiest but which does the job perfectly. We joined #3 trail which we headed east This sign above with the name of Claude Cosette piqued my curiosity and today I search a bit to find that he was a pioneer in the Champlain Snowmobile Club involved as director and volunteer for the St-Narcisse sector. A little further we switched north towards St-Séverin and then St-Tite One of the 3 places (2 on the ice and 1 on a bridge) where we cross the Rivière des Envies. We finally got enough cold for it to be safe We then took the #23 and then the #360 towards St-Joseph de Mékinac To have a meal at the village restaurant a little before noon After a good lunch break we continued north To ride #355 trail Gazoduc section. It was not freshly groomed but was nice At the next intersection we took a short break before heading south on #351 trail. A nice surprise appeared there We therefore continued towards Zec Tawachiche on a freshly groomed trail. We then headed east towards Lac Aux Sables. Here on the river which is very strong in Notre Dame de Montauban area We then took the #353 towards St-Ubalde. It turned out to be the worst day choice because it was quite worn on some sections We took a break at the #351/#302 trails junction because my passenger really needed it! We then continued on the #302 which gave us back a big smile on our face A visit to the St-Casimir cemetery! For then cross the Ste-Anne River. It's a bit narrow but by looking down we still appreciate it! We took a last break at #351 trail junction. As we chattered we saw the horizon turn more and more colored We then made our last stretch on #351 to return to our starting point. For those wondering if super Dominator LED lights work, that's what I have and Snowcruiser in front me is stock... We returned to our starting point around 6:30 p.m. with 277 km on the dreammeter. So an impressive snow cover everywhere that will help us get through the period of milder weather announced for the next few days, hoping that it will be colder than forecasted! Bye!

I don't know if you had seen auberge grande Nature in St-Octave de l'avenir(near Cap-Chat) just at the foot of chic chocs but if not it worth the detour, for the view and more. If you decide to stay there and have the chance to get their scandinavian wood log cabin, it's one of the prettiest chalet I had chance to rent.

My friend Snowcruiser was thinking he had a train following behind at first! he felt he was just making shadow to me with is sled 😄 On 2/13/2023 at 5:28 PM, mccaffrey said: Thanks for the ride. Lighting is a good thing. You are welcome mccaffrey! It's the first time I go aftermarket for light on a sled, those gen4 are really weak stock... a good way for brp to sell more auxiliary light kits! As a bonus because the weather and my equipment cooperate, I had been able to put together this video of the ride...
