Andyman Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just talked to some lads in Saint Anne Des Monts and they said there is a section west of Mont Saint Pierre that is supposed to be shared with trucks but it is plowed bare for a long way 2-3 km! They said in the hills the riding is ok but when you drop down into the towns for fuel.food,beer,or a bed it is very bad! Read bare ground! They are taking a bus to Riviere Du Loup to get their truck! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never good to hear a trip end like this - especially the 1st week of February on the north shore of the Gaspe!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobeeler Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just finished ride from Matane to Grande Vallee. Once we got out of Matane conditions improved. 80% was 7-8. 10% was 5-6. And 10% was 2-3. Am I glad I did that ride today? Yes for sure. In and out of coastal towns was not good but short distances compared to Matane. This was all before any snow. The spot that Andyman mentioned with logging was easy for us cause it was all downhill. Seen sleds going up (west) that were getting hot.

nyskidooerinnewhampshire Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thanks Snobeeler. Suppose to arrive in Matane on Saturday. Heading east around the Gaspe point back west to New Richmond returning to Matane on 595 Thursday . Continue as scheduled or no ? Your opinion is appreciated & respected.

Snobeeler Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Today we rode from Grande valley to new Richmond via Murdochville and the Orange Trail to La Cache. once we got out of Grandvalley snow was good including New Richmond they received 2 to 3 inches last night of good heavy snow. If you are set on riding the Gaspee check with Matane and if they received two or 3 inches of snow you will be fine getting in and out of the towns. Last picture is in New Richmond.

Snobeeler Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 We rode from New Richmond to Amqui via point a Lacroix. We were concerned about low Snow along the southern route but all was good best trails of the trip so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobeeler Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Saturday rode from Amqui to RDL. 175 miles. Arrived at 1:30 so decided to load up and head part way home. Took 587 toward Radar mountain but somehow missed the tower. Its different this year because of all the windmill roads. Trails were all 8-10 except near St Lawerence but still very passable.
