towing Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Krikri , my friend Snowcruiser and I took a ride on St-Michel side last Sunday. We made the loop around Taureau Lake round trip home. Here’s the ride track The trails have nicely hold the warm up and rain from last thursday/friday and the snow cover is good in all our area. The result is very hard and fast trails, very different from the powder of the last week but so better to make strong trails that hold the traffic. Here a shot near home at ride start… There are some icy spots here and there but not much. Here on the track between St-Felix and St-Gabriel And here north from St-Gabriel in St-Damien direction Here a little south from Réal Massé, they received a couple inches of powder over the hard trail base in the north of the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Here in Cabanon direction We took the #318 to go in St-Michel for the lunch. Again, very good snow cover but this section was more bumpy than usual. I think that they had groomers problem because there was only one doozer at Cabanon when we pass there in place of 3 or 4 as usual After the lunch at vieux moulin à scie in St-Michel, we took the shortcut on the Taureau lake in north direction. The reservoir level in lowered a good 30 feets, maybe more… always impressive to ride in the bottom of it. The 2 rocks on the top of the hill here are in the water in summer… We continued on the shortcut up to l'Auberge du lac Taureau… where we took back the official trail that follow the reservoir. It was full to the top here 2 months ago Up to CanadaVenture junction i t was a little bumpy but after, freshly groomed trail. We took a break near this little river and ride this perfect trail up to the Taureau dam… Also here it is really evident how they lowered the water level the #345 on the way back was very nice With those very hard trail condition, we figured that we had enough fuel to loop in Mastigouche wild life reserve (Last fuelup was at lunch in St-Michel).We had not been deceived, trail conditions AA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Koubec break and back to la Glacière to fuelup We then took the #63 south where we meet the dozer doing his run And we stopped for supper at Domaine Bazinet Back home on even nice trails after the meal, total: 255miles To conclude, it’s now or never the time to ride!!! The trail network is fully operational and the trail conditions are at the best they have been since a long time.…. Season goes fast , Let’s ride!!!
