PLAYHARD Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 "Can't see much" is the understatement of the day! We headed out from RDL this morning toward St Anne and WOWZA big snow & wind. Hats/helmets off to Iceman for not leading his 5 ducklings astray. We made decent time 200mi to just past Matane before a sled malfunction so here we stay tonight. Retooling for the tour for this week. For a photo of today's ride, just hold a sheet of white paper up to your face... See the red sticks across the drifted out fields?... NOPE! US NEITHER! (The whited-out road crossings were the most unnerving) Hey Groomer! We're thinking Causapscal bacon pizza Tuesday night! Hopefully you can make it?! Hey, nice angles on the trail shots this week!
