OMG TQ5 here we come. :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo:

How is it you don't fall asleep at 2 in the morning going 10k an hr on those stretches?

hi trailblazer !!

it happen not too often ,but sometimes it come close to fall asleep .it happened a few times,without taking a ride in the ditch !!ha!!ha!!

hard to tell,can be 2-3-5 '' without knowing i m grooming ,then ,just kind of wake up and i realize i fell ''asleep '' a few seconds.

im very happy with my run on tq 5 ,not too many fields ,lots of up hill and down hill .all kind of terrain.not boring !!

i never stopped 5-10-15 mins to sleep,better not do that.anyway it won t be long ,it ll be cold in the machine .

pics from this morning.left at 6 am ,came back at 3 pm.groomed tq 5 (except in town ),machine is parked near my house.then went to ste florence .

i took my diner at the corner of ste florence-ste marguerite and kosap around 2 pm.very-very-very-very light drizzle.nothing dangerous at all.just under 0 c right now.sky still grey.

need to check the forecast,guy told me that we might have 6 '' tomorrow.

little problem on the machine ,alternator is not charging much i guess.

according to my meter ,i m really proud to tell you that i can go 16 mph on a long straight in 6 th gear!!! :) :) :)

seldom i use 6 th gear,mostly 5 th,(13.5 mph ).using 6th gear ,must be very flat ,if not ,drag will ''jump '' on the trail and it ll make ''waves ''.

almost forgot ,2 '' of fresh snow !!

Slow that thing down!! 6-8mph is the proper speed for grooming. No "jumping" with the drag!! We want flat, smooth, hard trails!!! :lol:

See you in a week. Make sure you have a nice bottle of wine for us to drink!!

i know that.but when there s no bumps at all ,i use 6 th gear,.drag is nt jumping 6'' in the air.i just feel it.i do that late at night or early morning when there s no traffic at all.i do that only when snow ''feel '' heavy !!so ,snow stay in the drag.

best way to learn about it.you do that on the way down to the cb.on the way back ,you can see if you ve made mistake or you check often by the rear window.

first 2 pics ,on the way down to ste florence.road 132 (gas station ) about 2.5 miles ahead.

fyi:here in the gaspesie we don t share our wine !!ha!!ha!! we drink the whole bottle !! :) let me know about this ,if you re serious i ll go to the s a q and buy 2 bottles.

should i pm andy to know if you have the skill to drink the whole bottle ????? or stephen ????? ha!!ha!!

see you next week !!

Have a great time in the Gaspe!
