Groomer!!

Can't wait to ride in your area! We will be arriving in Amqui this friday(march 25th) we will be lodging at the the Ambassadeur for two nights.

This is a three generation ride-my son, my dad, and me :)

We will stop at your clubhouse-for trail passes-prior to going onto Amqui-should be around 2pm friday.

On friday we were thinking of riding tq5 from Amqui to Matane and back to Amqui. On Saturday ride from Amqui to Cap Chat and over to the chic chocs. What are your thoughts on these trail conditions?

Thanks again for all of your advice and grooming photos!!

Look forward to meeting you on friday!

went grooming tq5 and a local trail!! what a day.very discouraged to see how tq 5 was in bad shape.woke up at 2 am,-15c .started at 4 am and arrived at the cb around noon i guess,arrived at 7 30 pm.

did nt not take much grooming pics .after i took the the ones with the moon ,my boots were full of snow.so removed my boots til the cb.was too busy grooming.

very happy,no traffic on tq 5.saw only 9 sleds.i don t know how much it was ,but snow was sticky a bit on the way back,but did not ''attack '' the base.still hard packed.glad there was no traffic.

speedy ,hope you ll hit perfect trails .days are longer ,don t need be in a rush and you ll have plenty of time to take pics !!

Hi Groomer!

TQ5 was in bad shape-prior to your grooming today? I hope we have great trail conditions this Friday and Saturday while we're in your area.

I will be dreaming of flat-wide open perfect trails :clapping:

You're right-longer days will provide some extra photo shots.

hi speedy !!

just checked to have the ''translation '' in clesius .around - 10 c perfect.not too cold and not too warm.when it s too cold ,it hard to cut the bump,specially at this time of the season.the drag just ''float '' over the bumps .to fix that i go backward,tracks break the snow and it gives me soft snow to work with.

im going to take a break tomorrow .we should have one or 2 ''.

Glad to hear you say that the forecasted temps are "just right" for smooth trail grooming!

Have a good- well deserved day off tomorrow!!
