Florida Snowman Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 The mayor of RDL has a special budget set aside for entertainment! So did the Ex-Mayor of Toronto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCrazed Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sadly, the last day of the trip for me. It was a great time with even better company. Thank you mikerider for the hospitality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 That was funny, Florida Snowman. Until right after I read that and walked past the lobby. It is full of RCMP in full uniform checking into the hotel. Really!!! Anyone know where the American Embassy is up here? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Fantastic pictures you guys. I look at pics like that and I can't figure out why so many riders don't want to venture across the border! Happy trails to all.

mikerider Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jack, riding was fantastic! 8 days of riding, forgot to check the trip for the week mileage but believe around 2,100 miles. GW, Headed home tomorrow morning (Saturday). Have a long weekend (6 days) in about two weeks. If weather is a GO and can get a motel room for the QR gathering in Amqui, will probably leave Beauceville on Thursday AM and return to truck on Monday night. You in??? Sorry we will miss each other next week. Would have liked to ride with you. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 ACE 900 made it to 10,000 miles today! Same belt, same bearings, never a clutch rebuild. Gas and GO1 Got up this morning and started off, had the trip meter on all week. Peeked at overall mileage and saw I needed 290 more miles to make the milestone. Friggin cold and windy, but pushed on. Went over by 1/10 mile when I pulled up to my room after looping around the hotel a couple times to get that 10K mark. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Big mileage week thanks to Snowcrazed. He pushed me all week but that was good, saw some new places and trails, and had a blast. Didn't break the 400 mile/day but came close a couple times. The way we ate ay break the 200 pound mark. Always worry when I brag up the Riviere du Loup trails and then a friend shows up to see them. They did not disappoint, Smooth as silk. Thanks Snowcrazed. Until next year! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just up higher on the wall. Trust me I put it there myself last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Mikes buying the drinks??? Absolutely, I wanted to buy and there was no way Mike was going to allow that to happen Sadly, the last day of the trip for me. It was a great time with even better company.

markusvt Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) We rode from Berners to RDL last week-end. Took as many side trails as possible. 10 miles outside of RDL on the way into town, we find this treat. Tall windshields need not apply.

mikerider Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Today unloaded at the Beauceville clubhouse and rode to the Universal in RDL. Looks like this entire area also got some light rain a day or two ago, but trails were smooth and riding was good. Trails are hard but lubrication was not a problem. No ice spots. Just very hard snow. Hardly any sleds on the trails. Tomorrow on to Amqui. There are a few bare patches the last couple miles in to the hotel but nothing bad. HOWEVER, be extremely careful going under the train tressell about two miles before the Universal. It flooded in that dip, has huge ice heaves, and in the middle you will break through the ice and the water is deep. Come to a complete stop, look it over, then accelerate like he$$. Really bad, be careful. If any of you are at the Universal tonight, give a shout, room 138, or text me 207-522-2673. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Or I'm a day ahead. At this point I am planning on being in Amqui two nights, so I should see you there. Have a safe trip. Very cold and windy here. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I hope to be back to the truck on Monday afternoon, so I should be all set. From Beauceville I came up 55 to St Pamphile, jumped on 35 to the end of the RR bed and then up 526. mike Edited March 13, 2015 by mikerider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
