Northbound Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 JG, Your memory never fails to amaze me. In the 70s when I was living and breathing MX, I was reading Dirt Bike and Motocross Action. my go-to magazines. I thought my world revolved around southern California. I don't know if I could of quickly even found PQ on the map. I remember Mikkola, Mcgrath and of course Decoster, but you're pulling out names I've never heard of. And to think you saw some of them in Matane. You've had a rich life, and you have photographs to prove it. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I rode from Pointe a la Croix today, the trail was 10 out of 10!! It was groomed last night. We stopped for breakfast in Albertville at the clubhouse, good as always. Sitting in Baie Comeau tonight, not bad considering the plan at 10pm last night was for us the stay at the Copper tonight.

LOL I had a dream last night, that I was sleeping in Baie Comeau and would wake up to crispy trails in the morning, #@#$%&*, you are so lucky to be there with this cold snap and all that snow, reality has me working on broken cars at the shop this weekend, still playing catch-up from our last ride, I am very jealous, have a great trip Steve!!

quebec bob Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Really a shame to see those wonderful conditions not being enjoyed when it will be all over in a couple of weeks, wish I was there, if I lived closer I would probably never get anything done during sled season, next year cannot get here fast enough, JG, thanks for all that you do this season!!
