sno-traveler Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can anyone tell me if conditions allow me to ride from Four Points in Quebec City north to Saguenay. If not, any suggestions for a starting point for a saddle bag trip. Driving from down south. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcstar Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 May be better out of St.Raymond....and closer if coming from South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I rode #3 to Mont Sainte-Anne and took the bypass to 369 Saturday and the conditions were okay. I took the 369 back to Quebec City and from the Stoneham intersection down to #3 the trail was in very bad condition . We have had both heavy rain and some snow since so I don't have a more recent update unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Raining in Quebec City today. Might better drive up to Paradise. Another 2 hours on the black trail and you are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sno-traveler Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks everyone for the advice...I'm leaning towards Saint Raymond...I heard, hopefully right, that the trails are in decent shape. From there I'll ask around to find a good destination. Almost 60 f at home today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 1 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Keep us posted Magnus I got a trip scheduled to begin from Saint Raymond on Thursday morning to Roberval, planning on heading through Lac Edward. JG JG don't forget there is a street gas station in Lac Edwardo .94 a litre. A bit up road toward rail road station on left is Le presbytère de Lac-Édouard, stop in and ask Nathalie or Louis for some orange juice, fresh squeezed, tell them Phil sent you. It is a yellow building right in front of the church its a new Gite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the tip Phil 0.94 a litre sounds a lot better than Gouin's at 1.85 a litre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South end of the lake Station is on Main road just South of where RR tracks cross maybe 1/3 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooright Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 South end of the lake Station is on Main road just South of where RR tracks cross maybe 1/3 mile.

revct1 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 So if JG is heading north and crosses the tracks, he has to look left so it must be west? Sorry. I just couldn't resist! Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1500HD Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I was in Roberval Saturday night and a crew came in from Lac Edward and said the trail (355) was terrible trees down and ungroomed for weeks.
