iceman Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm not making the gathering but whatever is goona be your stop you all need to pick and get calling. That is a Friday Night and you need to be somewhere. Better get it sorted. You are not talking about 1 or 2 rooms you are a pretty big group no?

MrGutz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have to defer to you guys, I don't know the area, and gas stops concern me. I vote for 200ish miles a day, start and end at Rabaska and go through ValDor. But we will do what ever. GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 With Clova out of the Plan then you options to stay are pretty much all given above. Having Forrestal as Saturday night makes 83 the only real option. Too long the other way from Rabaska. On 63. Its not like there are alot of choices out that way.

MrGutz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I will pull out the map tomorrow after work.... So I can be better informed. Maybe my brother will take a look and pipe up. GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think we should pull out of Val Dor ride north east or east. Val Dor low snow so far and with clova uncertain...my thoughts are lets look for a place for sat night to 'Gather" I am happy to call and see what I can find. Even the 100 lacs place...where would we stay, I was there twice last year, nice people but they won't handle a big crowd well. Just my thoughts Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Rabaska to Clova is 180klms Clova to 100 Lacs is 195klms Totalling 375klms or 235miles doable for a days ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpysanta Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 remember maybe not all can or want to do a big day.. fer a cheval not a good memory for me . merineau is good and there is relais 22 ..just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 What if we try to do the Saturday night at Rabaska? Is that big enough? Or do a loop from Rabaska to Mekoos, it has lots of room if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Maybe push it off to February? Whenever it is we are leaving from Shawinigan, less driving more riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 So Rabaska to Latuque to Rabaska ride out of Rabaska to Devil's Mtn Area Day trip. Sounds doable to me. I will check maps later today. GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) 100 lacs....... They were not nice to our group, but to each their own. We were the only ones there and they told us that we were late for lunch....it was 2 PM, didn't know we needed reservations. Our experience though, maybe a bad day for the old guy but I won't be back. Only bad experience I've ever had in Quebec. Nice looking place though. How about that big lodge down the road a ways? Meekos? Edited December 31, 2013 by gizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meekos? Rabaska is calling mekoos for us this morning to check as to what is available. x2 on the 100 lacs, not my pick for a big group. But we won't have much choice if we stay in this area.

Trailblazer Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 100 Lacs has history with QR, it was the venu for the very first QR Gathering. For sure ya can't please everyone but time is a ticking here folks and the weekends get filled up quick in these outfitters, they are not only promoting in this country. Mekoos certainly is a beautiful place for a Gathering just keep in mind it's only a 2 hr ride from the Rabaska, should it be the case that the Gathering will be held there on a Saturday night then I will cancel out my Reservations at the Rabaska and ride directly to Mekoos from home. Let's all knock our noggins together and come up with something that will work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 You mean they tell you they don't have any or aren't serving? If so that's very strange however they are more of a fine dining kind of place, maybe the 100 lacs is too but the guy could've just said that and we would've been fine with it. Instead he started slamming place mats down and literally telling us it's not too funny.....and to be honest with you we weren't even close to laughing although we did after that as we paid for our fuel and left. I guess that's why I sometimes prefer the more older and more rustic by nature kind of places. Either way I guess we can only go by what we've experienced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
