fredsleds Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Is the any gas between these 2 areas, looks like about 150 miles? FCMQ map didn't show any stations, but, it looks like the trail crosses a highway. Thanks, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulsock1 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I read earlier this year the saw mill is open this year between LSJ and Ciboogie. I'm sure someone who knows for sure will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Fred. It has been a few years since we've rode to Chibougamau, 2012 to be exact. Gas in La Dore and then it is about 170 miles to Chibougamau. The saw mill was about half way and Relais du Nord was about 40 miles before Chibougamau. The saw mill is closed but the gas pump was manned with limited hours for the last few years. Relais du Nord was closed one year if I remember correctly. I have put a BRP 15 liter aux tank on my sled this year. The next time we go, I'll be sure we can make the 170 miles without a gas stop, just in case.

I remember one year (2006 perhaps) we had to buy lots of 20 litres, we were 4 sleds some good on fuel some not. Ended up buying 3 lots of 20 litres, 2 sleds took the 20 the other 2 split the 20.

If you have to ask then you shouldn't be riding, be very thankful there is a gas there for sale and support the purpose. A buck what ever or 2 bucks what ever beats walking.

Not sure how much per liter. Probably (just guessing) 20-40 cents more than at a reagular gas station. And only regular gas no super. For Hours i believe surely the attendant(caretaker) is there 24/7. Most people pass there during reasonable hours so all day long is not a problem.
