neksledr Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Myself and wife Molly left the Roquemont around 8:30 yesterday morning in below zero temps, a very chilly start to the day. Took the 73 to 3 and ran that all the way east to Claremont. All trails had been groomed over night and the riding was near perfect. Lots of ATV activity on the power line trails around Quebec city, but not horrible. Stopped for fuel and lunch in Saint Urbain with 120 miles at 1pm. Jumped back on 3 and kept heading east until 83 broke north, our first run on the Clermont express! Made great time here, but the temps were dropping and you could feel it in the fingers. Broke off on 383 and ran that until the 368 which brought us to La Sagueneenne hotel. The temps are well below zero at just after 6pm, 263 miles for the day. Trails were spectacular overall for the day. Saw 2 cow moose, 1 small bull moose and several deer during the ride. Plan on riding back to St Raymond in the morning with Jack and Sandi. Pics to follow if I can figure that part out... Terry Florida Snowman, Magnus, snowfarmer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Quite the ride! The trails actually improved a lot after the rain last week. Went for a 150 km ride Saturday and the trails were great around Quebec City! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 That's some milage there Terry, don't kill her on the first day.

neksledr Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hey JG! She never complains about the mileage, but the cold fingers get to her. Gonna have to find her better mitts! No time for shopping in the Sag, ran back to the Roquemont in the morning with Jack and Sandi. Hit the black trail this morning and back home now. Need to start planning our next trip back up. We're definitely doing Gaspe in March, just not sure about trips in between. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has them from first gear they work well actually have a controller to adj the heat. She has them a few years and last year she got the heated jacket/pants which are more of a mid layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is nice about the gloves is they are not bulky so easy to use with gauntlets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
