brandoncahil Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 On dec 31 Dr coffin and I left Beauceville About 11am on trail 75 we rode to Hotel Bernieres. Trail was ok tried to get shuttle but was not running until Monday the 3rd. Called tow truck and brought sleds across to Hotel Must in Quebec about 70 miles that day. Left hotel on the 1st, our goal was to go to clermont and stay the night. Took 3 north east trail was bad, so we took trail 304 towards L etape but trail ended or we couldn't find it after about 10 miles. We turned around and continued on tail 3 north east trail was getting better near st Anne. We were almost near Baie St Paul then trail 3 ended due to river crossing which we couldn't cross. We continued down unmarked trail at the river but decided to turn around because low on gas. I think the river was called river a idas. We headed back to st Anne and I ran out of gas, 2011 skidoo gsx se 125 miles on 1 tank not that good. Dr coffin has extra gas, thanks. Stayed night in st Anne 140 miles. Left st Anne on 2nd head to Letape on tail 369 trail was great, a little slushy temps around 40. Had lunch at Letape and headed to st Raymond on 23 trail still was great for warm temps. Coming into st Raymond was a little rough, had to skip streams and bogs, but made it. Then headed for Quebec on trail 73 trails were bad then trail 73 ended, had to turn around and take trail 23 to 3 then trail 3 ended around st Catherine. So we took some bike path east and some how found trail 3 and found are way to the Quebec inn. 200 miles. Trail were bad and nearly no snow near quebec. On the 3rd we took shuttle over st Laurent river back to Bernieres we road trail 75 back to Beauceville 60 miles, trail was bare in spots not great. Need more snow and signs I guess to early still.

mikerider Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi Brandon. I was in Jackman Thurs thru Sat and riding was good and I heard it was great above the border before the warm up on Saturday. Other than gas mileage, how do you like the new sled? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
