Blackcat Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Will do, looks like a pretty remote area heading south from Albertville, how is 587? It would be nice to do a loop down to Matapedia. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Will do, looks like a pretty remote area heading south from Albertville, how is 587? It would be nice to do a loop down to Matapedia. :D The 587 was rerouted about 3 years back. The trail is now very scenic, travel along the river valleys. I would recommend it for sure.

HI is North of the Seaway, noy a good place to do the Gaspe from unless you go down and cross the ferry and take a left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good spot to start from when doing the Gaspe is Riviere Du loup. Leave your trucks at the Universal, they have a locked corral for them. It's about 1100 miles round trip from there.

HI is North of the Seaway, noy a good place to do the Gaspe from unless you go down and cross the ferry and take a left. Thats what I was going to do last year but no good snow on the Gaspe. Kinda wanted to do the ferry just to do it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave your trucks at the Universal, they have a locked corral for them. It's about 1100 miles round trip from there. I may have to look into that if the snow in VT is no good to get us up there. We are guessing about 2,000 mi round trip from VT so it will be an adventure!! LOL If I start at the Riviere Du Loup is there good riding in that area once I get back from the Gaspe??

Snowbound Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 If you live in VT. I would never drive all the way to RDL unless you are pressed for time. Great riding to be had in the Chaudiere and the Ba St Laurent heading into the Gaspe. You can do the Gaspe from RDL in 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
