Trailblazer Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Winter gathering was alot of fun, i got to meet a great bunch of guys that share the sport i passionately love and most of all i got to meet the elusive Groomer himself. Big thank you for those tabletop trails and all those pics. I hope to hook up with more of you guys in the futur and make a ride together. Yesterday morning i left the Vallon at 6am heading for New Brunswick on a solo ride, and it was fearsely cold in the morning i tell ya, must've been around -30 or so 'cause during my ride back the display glass on my gauges had frosting up and i only see that happen when it's really cold. I arrived in NB around 2pm with 340klms on the odometer, i had planned on riding through Moosevalley but when i arrived in in Biencourt i was low on gas and the gas station is closed on sundays in town(the only one), i knew from my level i didn't have enough to get down to Moosevaley so change of plans, head to Squatech for gas and head for Degelis to get into NB. All trails were freshly groomed the night before and i was...in most cases the first one on them, i was soooo spoiled, made for a smooth ride back. Total milage for my first ride this season 992klms. Heres some pics. Big cheers to Groomer. Chin chin mon ami. Hooked up with Crazysnow and his bro in RDL We had a tough time battling a snowstorm going through the Squatech area. Trails were hard to see and markings were very little. Here's the guy we came from miles all over to meet.

smclelan Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 A great time was had by all, lots of laughs for sure. A shot just North of Carleton along the local trail on the way to the Gathering Saturday morning just before starting on the ride. Up at the Ski Hill At the Radar Tower Jean Guy be sure and thank your club president and all involved for letting us pretty much take the clubhouse over for two days. We could not have been treated better, and the food was delicious! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I just got an unrelated e-mail from Ray a few minutes ago. But I believe they are at the Quebec Inn this morning. Andy, sorry I had to miss the get together. Sounds like a great time plus I missed a great ride with Bill, Ray & Dave. Just a bad work schedule that weekend.
