Linda, JG, how's the snow holding up? trying to get 1 last ride in but can't make it up there until early next week.... looks like a lot of moisture in the next week hoping the off trail in hills will hold up to it.

Lots and lots of snow. Last two days of sunshine and warm temps were damaging. Today it snowed 4-5" of nice snow. Next two days forecast lots of rain. So check in with Jean Guy on Monday. 

He's just thawing out now lol

Ride we did...

Pulled into the Selecotel just before noon. Gear on out the door shortly thereafter. Head staright to the Albertville Cludhouse and low and behold there sits the legend himself along with Linda sled girl and her hubby. Formal introductions all around. Obligatory order of wings served in snowmobile...you know your in snowmobile country when😳

Wings and a bev and off we go

Iceman is in my ear....stay on 5 stay 5....587 its then!

Jean-guy says 150 mile loop

587 to 5 near pointe a la croix and rip her back to Amqui. Leaving a bit late but whats a buck fiffty... we'll clip that off in no time RIGHT.

Just before we leave Linda sled asks JG if there are any more local maps as she says we should take one. They are OUT ...no problem we'll run off our phones.

Conditions great....

587 is a ripper. Smiling like a madman...what 10 hour drive to get to Amqui.

Blast off about 50 miles and its time for a trail bevie.

Beautiful spot along the river at a t junction. Don't do it...looks like a shortcut. No no no. Well we did start late...

Short cut it is....iceman is screaming now 5 you idiot 5

ya ya braaap

Lets just say we saw some country we'll never see again. Bad decisions and poor signage aside did we get twisted up.... like my ear buds when I pull them out of the gym bag twisted up. 

Left right est quest tabarnak it has to be this way. What does the phone say?

Into Valley of hell... best signs on the trail River Rain bistro / hotel.

What ... the joints closed. Now where? Hey there's a sign on the ground. Phone sayz sign sayz wait  this doesnt make sense. Alright u turn. Back towards the sign for Pointe a la Croix. Colice its 7pm when we finally hook up with the 5. Bar time.... ya Iceman i know i know.

Yes linda we should have had the poutine with the wings 😡

We fly to Capuscal.... weatherman says, hey lets throw some freezing drizzle at the lads. Mondzi .. we're running on fumes here sled gods. Too bad for you....stay on 5

ya ya...into Albertville past the darkened clubhouse... good thing might of had a sleepover. Ok we can make it from here.

Finally roll in at 9pm

Turned 150 into 180 and change but hell we're riding.

Wingman alredy expressing the importance of staying on 5 today

ya ya 😳

It was a good winter for me. But my favourite is riding off trail with Jean-Guy. It's very relaxed and fun. No pressure. Gaspesie style. 

We will co-ordinate better next year.
