Saguenay Bill Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I arrived at the Delta yesterday. 175 was quite slippery from about km 80 to 148. It had about 3/4 of an inch of compacted snow on it, temp was -10F. After 148 it was bare. Rode 100+ miles today. Very cold this morning-20F. Went to Spence and Evasion Sport as well as Real's. Trails were very good. Wanted to go to lunch at the Bouleaniere but it is closed. Been going there since 1984. Sad to see it closed. Farmerold and his daughter Tammi are due in soon. Tonight I'll be going to the Delta's employee Christmas Party. I'll take some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 How much Rain where you are there Bill? Very little. Might get some later tonight but so far it has had no effect on the trails. Temps didn't get above 32. We rode 75 miles today. Came in about 1:30 as it was a freezing light rain at that time.
