NJSkidoo Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Trailblazer. Nice meeting you at Kanawata and speaking with you. We made it to Windigo last night in same wet snow conditions and today ran into a large wolf on the trail about 20 miles east of Windigo. This wolf was large and his paws were the size of my hand. We took it slow to make sure helmet the trail as we didn't want tone his breakfast. Hope you had a good ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Nice meeting you too NJSkidoo, nice to put faces to the names. Little meeting last night and decided to stay an extra day or two, going to the Valins today still unknown where we're going to park it. Part of the adventure. Phones not doing good this morning didn't charge last night Gonna be short on pics today Sunny and -26 C° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 373 out of Roberval a little rough, closer to St.Felicien a lot better and more snow. Crossed the river then up local to Normandin. Super trail now that's why we're staying another day. Up to the 93 down to Giradville to put gas. 93 sued to 367 for Vauvert for lunch, oh oh they're closed, onwards to St.Ludger de Milot. 367 out of Vauvert in really bad shape until you hit the 93 again, groomed and groomed in the locals up to Milot, 230 k for lunch. Up to the Valins later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 After lunch hopped over the top of the Valins to Onachiwa put gas and headed down to Domaine de la Chutes for the night. Full house here. All trails after lunch were groomed with a hard base and some corners with some studder bumps. 400 klms and in by sun down. Today heading to St.Raymond, looks like I'm taking another day off, better call the boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Best day of riding on the trip, blue jay day and groomed trails all day. Out of the gate 93 was a gods send, 367 to the Ship Shaw local all good, took gas in Jonquire and waved hello to the Delta as we were passing by with the hope Bill will see us through the window.....fat chance!!! That guy is on the trail by now, had to do the hello thing anyway. 383 down to the dam all groomed to a T, crossed thd dam and voila more grooming going on. 368 needed a touch up but very passable at Enduro speed. 23 OMG where is my Apex!!!! Highway all the way woo whoo. L'Etape for lunch and gas. 23 south to the relais that is 60 k Nord of St.Raymond all in good shape even passed the groomer but going the other way. Below Relais all garbage to St.Raymond started to get hot in the suit. Had a pow wow at the Roquemont and decided to continue on to Grand Mere. 73 was a race track, 353 nicely groomed bicycle path but a little narrow, formula 1. 23 all the way into Grand Mere we were spoiled. All to say aside from 60 k we had a terrific day. 510 klms New look out at Apica Now this is what it's all about boys New bridge at St.Raymond behind the Roquemont Just when you think things were good it just got better. Thanks Alain Domaine de la Chutes is a real treat, get out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Did you guys get a chance to line up the two four strokes? I hear good things about the 1200 just wondering how it compares to the Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Snowman Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sweet run JG! I hope the boss isn't pissed youre using up "sick" days! Great pics! I can't believe the new bridge in Saint-Raymond is already operational. That was a quick install for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Did you guys get a chance to line up the two four strokes? I hear good things about the 1200 just wondering how it compares to the Yamaha. Well it like this Fozzy, we did several runs side by side earlier in the season, the Enduro is out of the hole first and stays they way to to the top but after 700$ of part on the Viper XTX the Enduro is still out of the hole first but now the Viper catches it on the top. Fuel efficiency is pretty equal but Enduro has more range due to the size of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 1 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 JG great stuff. We also found that a 1200 Doo and Viper use same amount of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
