scorpionbowl Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Are they grooming from the Red Roof, North, or is it just local traffic? Could be a long ride to Chicoutimi if not groomed, might be better to drive up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Rider Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Put some miles on for me as we are headed woods riding this weekend and the totals will be low ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend700 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Gary hope you and Marty have a good time and hopefully he keeps it on the trail. Tell him to pack his gauntlets because he'll lose his handwarmers before L'etape based on Er's and everyone elses experience. ER- Jackman looks like it will be a good time even if the miles are low. You'll do better than I will even with that crew, taking my son on some local rides up at camp this weekend and helping out at our clubs safety class.

NHTOM Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm thinking of staying at the Roquemont Friday night and get an early start at the red roof on saturday. if you can ride out of a motel around stoneham that would also work. I'd ride out of the Roquemont but I doubt the river is frozen. Doest matter if the river is frozen. The dealer in the parking lot right next door can dump you on the other side. Ask the folks at the Roquemont desk when you call for a room. From the Relais St.Raymond (1/4mile beyond river) they groomed trail 23 to Le'Etape today!!!!

Do you know if the dealer ship next to the Roquemont rents sleds? If so do you know the name or number for them? I would like to take my brother up this year and he needs to rent.

scorpionbowl Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Here's the latest from my trip this weekend (12/8/2007): Starting from Relais du Nord. 304 was groomed and mostly excellent. 369 was groomed and excellent Sat, but beat on Sunday. In L'Etape, 23 south was groomed, not sure how far. 23 north [from L'Etape] was not open for the ~5 miles, then we met the groomer [going back to Apica] and it was groomed to Apica. 23 north from Apica was groomed but thin on snow. 368 wasn't open and 23 north from that intersection was groomed but continually thining in conditions. I'm guessing it's not possible to get from L'Etape to the Saganuey region, but we had to turn around and not risk other problems because of the time. The traffic around Apica was very light and I'm guessing local. Here's the L'Etape re-route info. When coming up from the south on 369, the first intersection near L'Etape used to be 23 north to the right, 23 south and gas to the left. Now the first intersection, if you go right, it only goes to the gas in L'Etape, not 23 or Auberge Le Relais. The left turn goes to 23. It crosses a few km's south of the Auberge. After crossing 175, the first intersection is 23 north/south, the next interection on 23 north is to the Auberge [which wasn't open].
