Don,

 

You going to be around this weekend?  Thinking of coming up again.  The weather looks good for this weekend there.

Around but not sure if I will ride. Depends where. Free weekend a bit crazy.

Yeah I saw it was the free weekend, but I was hoping if we went east it wouldn't be as bad, as many of those trails are open and fields.  Your input of course would be best.  Just seeing if it would be worth the drive up or not.  Weather report wise, are you seeing decent weather through then?  what I have seen seems to be pretty good.

Weather fine for weekend. Showing warm just at freezing. Then could be Rain monday and tuesday, unless things change. But showing +6c and rain Tues right now. That is not the end of things but will be a setback.

That is why I am thinking of coming up this Friday.  I got your message and I will keep you posted.  Thanks Don!

Ice,

 

I booked a room at Drakkar this Friday.  It sounds like it should be a great weekend to ride.  Let me know if you will be around.  Yesterday was great on the trails.  Groomers did there thing and we put on 100 miles, got lunch and got out of there before traffic came out.  Hit two police check points and they were nice with no problems.  The second he was shooting radar on the long straight going west before you hit the turn at 351 (just before Relais Station).  I could see a long way up the trail a guy jump out into the trail and I knew it would be an officer shooting so I settled down and rode in nicely to meet them.  No mention of speed at all.  :)

Glad your Sunday was a good one. I'll come to Drakkar either Friday or Saturday night. I leave Sunday Afternoon I think or Monday Morning for my next week out. So I am probably not riding this weekend. See you at Reggies.

-1c snowing started about 20 minutes ago. Also very windy.

schools throughout the area were closed this morning before it even started snowing. Mark your calendars as this is a rare event in QC. Kids don't get many Snow days in their lifetime. However, even with schools being a teacher closed mrs ice had to go in anyway. Cest la vie.

Actually yes, that is where she went after she got paroled from school this afternoon. Like the postal service, neither rain, nor sleet or hail and snow will stop her from getting those nails done.

Hi Iceman, How did you guy's make out in your area with this storm? Just making sure there is not a lot of tree damage from the heavy wet snow and ice. We are starting a saddlebag trip in Shawinigan this Thursday AM and heading up to Lac St Jean area. Thank you for any info..Mainebound.
