NSHM Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 December 29, 2016 RELAY LA CACHE IS CURRENTLY NOT OPEN THEREFORE NO GAS Bad News...........Just saw this on the Gaspe site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainerenegade Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Will this mean there is no gas on trail 595? If you were leaving Murdochville crossing over to 595 north where would the next fuel stop be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcstar Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Mainerenegade, we had to up 595 to 5 then towards Matane then we took the local trail to Grosses Roches for fuel, it is 7 miles off the trail but we had no choice, it is about 140 miles from Murdocville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainerenegade Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks for the reply that would be too close for comfort on fuel range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Les Mechins is a little closer but also off the TQ5, you can turn east and gas in Cap Chat but you still need a range of 120-130 miles.....Or extra gas. With most new sleds this distance is doable but you have to ride from the pumps planning gas conserving driving. I would not recommend trying without spare gas if you have to break any amount of trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCL Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 What about distance if you were going south to New Richmond from Murdochville for nearest gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Pretty close to 120 miles that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainerenegade Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 My concern would be having to break trail and running out of fuel. vt_bluyamaha54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I drove my 1200, and a buddy rode a 800 ETEC from Murdochville, through La Cache to St Paulin, then to LA Machins for gas Saturday. It was 140 miles and both sleds took about 33 liters of gas! That said we had excellent conditions with freshly groomed trails the whole way.

Whaler Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Good news. Conditions on this trail change quickly so gas is very important. It is one of the nicest trails for scenery so I hope they keep up with the gas! nyskidooerinnewhampshire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
