RoadRunner Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Blazer, I think the adage to your drive back is ....that when possible, always use a snowmobile, much safer ....lol, Great seeing you guys. Enjoyed NH Moose's pick of the Quebec riders "New Brunswick" reunion. We should try to at least make an overnight connection somewhere next year. Iceman, nice mileage for the year! I regretably have parked my sleds for the season too. Play hard, we hope to be back on the snow in northern Quebec Dec 1st somewhere. We will be back posting some early picks than I hope wth Mother Nature willing! Have a great off season RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Groomer, we have been thinking the same thing on this area, lots of off trail woods road running on both sides of the provincial border here. Thanks for sharing your history in that area RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYHARD Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks for taking the time out of your busy grooming schedule JG to share an evening with all of us, It was nice to have shared some rouge and exchange the stories with you. What an evening. P.S. Groomers trails were the best we saw in the Gaspe. Tip of the hat mon homme. The whole Gaspesie was groomed, unbelievable prime conditions. But... as soon as you turn onto Groomer's secteur you just know it. The trails are a little bit smoother, a little bit wider, a little bit softer, a little bit nicer. Ditto on the thanks for everything JG. You're a true artiste. Memories of your trail therapy, and our reunion de pizza bacon, and as always your photos, help to make the off seasons more bearable!

vt_bluyamaha54 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Great report guys! Very hard to top the Gaspe' when the weather and trail conditions align in the special zone we all chase. Glad everyone is home safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Please pardon the "artist's rendering" of the New Brunswick section. The more tech-savvy among us have real GPS crumbs if needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH-Moose Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Iceman has a special way with words conveying the daily events, Trailblazer.......blazes the trail ahead, David brings sanity and organization to the decision process, Groomer has a true gift for photography. If not for those who take the time time, it would be impossible to explain why Quebec has the best people and riding anywhere! I don't have an eye for framing photos, I take random snapshots, and the occasional video. David nicknamed this piece of trail 587 the Indy Track, its easy to see why ;<) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGnxqLKT9LY (Merci beaucoup Groomer for the Embed assistance!) Enjoy!

smclelan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Spring riding in the Gaspesie Region is easily some of the best in North America. I have been lucky enough to had many scoring rides, you guys certainly hit it at it best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Causapscal feel the difference. Trails you dream of all summer. The little extra love put into the trails by the operator is very appreciated. Setting the standard on the Gaspesie.

Shane Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 We are thinking of heading up late week. Let's hope a few warm days don't deter the grooming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 We are thinking of heading up late week. Let's hope a few warm days don't deter the grooming You've got nothing to worry about Shane, lots of riding left, plenty of snow and all the trails are groomed beautifully. Good luck and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I noticed the new, improved trail out of moose yesterday as we rode it for a section. It appears that halfway down the hum qui trail as you cross a river, kedgewick?? That you can bang a left and go to kedgewick and not moosevalley, not groomed but it must tie into the new 17 trail somewhere, we might check tgat out today. Thank you for the feedback. RR Yes we did that run down past State Lake Roadrunner and it joins the 17 nice little ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we are, counting the days, and counting the frames of video: That hairy-canary sweeper left is at 9:45, with plenty of room to miss it and recover and make it look like you meant it! Hell, if you went straight and kept going it's bound to come out somewhere right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
