WNY-Dave Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm looking for some help planning a trip with distances, rooms, gas. Start New Liskard end La Sarre day 1. La Sarre to Lebel Sur Queillon via Matigami day 2. Queillon to La Dore day 3,La Dore to Clova day 4, Clova to Joncas day 4, Joncas to New Liskard day 5. This looks realistic with a few long days. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi Dave, Welcome to Quebec Rider. There is a interactive trail map on the FCMQ website. Link > FCMQ interactive map We were in that area earlier this year and we posted in Quebec Rider / English Forums / Regional / Abitibi / Trail conditions 2011. Some of our route overlaps what you are doing. Read thru the post. Label sur Quevillon up 93 to Chapais and then down the other side to La Dore is where you have to pay attention to gas. How far can you go on a tank? Someone else more familiar with the area will probably post more info but read the post above for the gas stop in Miquelon which has very limited hours. Happy riding.

Jack & Sandi Jack, Thanks for the help I saw your post on the limited hours for gas in Miquelon. How long did it take you to get from Label su Queivillon to Miquelon. Two of us have 600 etech's and the other guy has a 1200 GSX. 120 should not be a problem if we can't get gas in Miquelon.

Thanks, Dave Quévillon to Miquelon is +- 45 miles.........Miquelon to Chapais is +- 85 miles.Miquelon gas station close at noon.there is no sign upon the trail.Once you hit the highway coming in from Quevillon,you turn on your left hand side and cross the bridge.Gas station is about 300 feets from the TQ 93.

Right down to dirt for a good stretch not sure how far they were going to tear it up but it was sad to see.

Soyez prudent. Vous pouvez avoir du gaz à l'usine du millage 54 en payant en argent au préposé. It says the trail has been plowed for 7-8 kms for bridge repairs. and for you WNYDave....you pay only in cash at the scierie 54 for gas or food.Cafeteria open from 11:30 a.m. til 12:15 p.m. but the employee told me while we were there they can stretch it til 1:00 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
