Scranton1 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Planning on leaving Bernards Wed morning. Looking for advice on some routes to the HI. The FCMQ website still has many of the trails closed and we have taken 355 many times to the HI. Could be a nightmare after heavy snow if its not groomed. What are the chances trails are in decent shape by Wed? Could you go via Quebec up #3. (FCMQ shows trails still closed) Gas closed in Le Etape. No longer an option. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Scranton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ask Bernard, he said it's open up to the HI (225ish miles). Gutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchback 2006 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Come ride in Chaudière-Appalaches & Bas St-Laurent! The trails are wonderful & open! They will be even more beautiful because we have just received another 35cm last night! All the best!! SB 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letape Rider Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 We rode from Beauciville to Rievere Du Loop day 1, torward 3 Pistols back to Montmagny day 2, then home on day 3 last week. 500 miles, 480 miles flat as a main road- awesome. I felt it was equal or better riding than HI area. Plus closer to home from VT.Check it out and you won't be sorry. I rode 2900 miles last winter and this ride was as good as any last year.
