markusvt Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Day 1. 217 miles, Left Shawinagin heading north. 355 was awesome, no issues the whole way. 73 from La-Tuque into Relay 22, all awesome, a bit twisty with the reroute, but all very nice. 83 over to Windigo was table top smooth. Windigo is an awesome place to stay, very accommodating hosts. Cool tame foxes out front, and very reasonable on the price. Website Day 2. 302miles, 83 all the way baby, and wow was it awesome. The reroutes back onto the park road made it fast and smooth! Staying just outside Senniterre at Lac Faillon, very nice place, very nice hosts. The trail was ridiculous smooth, and we saw 2 groomers grooming glass smooth trails! Website Day 3. 223 miles. -31F! 100 miles back to Clova, awesome. this mainly through the 125000 acres burned in 2008. 30 miles north to Barrage Martin Gouin, super nice lunch, very nice owner Line! I would sleep here no problem. The 25 miles trail there from Clova was ridiculous! 30 more miles to the reservation Obedjiwan, mainly on the reservoir. Another 63 miles to Barrage Gouin, awesome! $71PP all included with 4 in a room! Website Day 4 258 miles. -24F! Rode from barrage Gouin to Shawinagin, back to the truck by 5. Everything was butter smoooooth. Website Edited February 17, 2012 by markusvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
