dkarwh Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Just got back from a 900 miler in 4 days. Left St Victor to Beauceville to Saint Pamphile to Poheenagamok to Riviere Bleu to Clair to Fort Kent to Van Buren to Edmunston to Moose Valley to Bien Coup to Cabano to Pohenagamook to Lac Des L'Est to Saint Magliore to Lac Frontier to Saint Sabine to Lac Etchemin to Beauceville and back to Saint Victor. All trails except east and west of Lac Etchemin were a perfect 10, most without a sled track on them except ours. Also encountered a very dangerous condition on the trail from St Joseph to St Jacques. Their was a high banked chute about 200 feet long which had a spring at the top feeding water down it and the entire thing was glare ice. Luckily no one coming and rode it out to the bottom. Called the club and they ware trying to come up with a fix for the week-end. Also appreciated the re-route to Beauceville on 75. Only thing is there is just about the same amount of trail on the road and the first warm-up we will be riding blacktop again (or dirt). Looks like they kind of exchanged routes and came up with the same thing. NB, Maine and QC otherwise is open for business as usual. Normal Febuary conditions!!!

Whaler Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just thought I would try and get some 2012 conditions? There doesn't seem to be many people on here?

Has the snow plied up enough to make this trip? Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaler Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks Groomer and CS I was starting to wonder if anyone rides in this area any longer?? I think we will try leaving from Edmunston on Friday and go to Moose Valley for sure. I know they are grooming to Biencourt but not sure from there?? I really enjoy the ride to Cabano. Great trail! Maybe more snow this week? Cheers! The "Whaler" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaler Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Gents Had a great weekend. Left Edmunston and headed to Club du Nord and then on to Moosevalley. Had a great lunch and trails are all good! Then off to Biencourt. Tried to leave to Sqawtech but trail is closed. Had to detour to St. Rita and the to St Hubert and on to Trail 85 to Edmunston. The trans Quesbec trail # 85 was excellent! We met the groomer and is was great....just like riding on cream?! What a super trail! Don't tell anyone..........

Whaler Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi Whaler , How was trail 569 heading to Blencourt. Thanks for any info. CrazySnow !!!!! It was groomed all the way. The only issue we had was trying to get to Degiles (spelling). Trail was closed and so was the next trail to the north. This is why we needed to go to St. Rita. These trails were less than good. They needed snow. Once you get on Trail#5 or 85 things were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks JG I would say that if you took our same trip from Biencourt to St. Rita and to St. Hebert and then to Edmunston it would be about 100 miles. We did it on a gas fill up in Biencourt all the way to the Irving at the NB-Quebec boarder. There are some gas stations along the way as well. These trails from Biencourt need some signs put up! Be careful and ask for directions. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back my dad a i were heading to NB to visit family, i took my sled to do a bit of riding, he dropped me off in RDL at the Universal and from there we both left for Edmonston, me by sled and him by truck. I got there 15 minutes before he did, you should have seen the look on his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
