markusvt Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Standing on the railroad tracks, looking at the Lake, go left on the road. Follow to the end by a bunch of houses, maybe 1/2 mile. You see entrance into the woods with a sign on the left. Goes woods, powerline, woods, road. Red staked the whole way. 28 miles and you are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) We took the Lapine road, (Pensive) out of Clova. Dominic has not groomed it in some time for sure. You can still run 65-75 easy, but chopped up a bit. The last 20 miles to gas was plowed road but plenty of snow on it. Getting gas we asked the trail to Gateneau, the lady said groomer broke but very nice. Hum...... Full on snocross for 20 miles, (nice means something different in French?). Gateneau said no more lunch or relay service, he only does the BB deal with room, breakfast and dinner, been that way for a few years. The next 15 miles to Rebaska was pretty darn nice. We ate lunch there and were back to the truck at 3:30 with 230 miles for the day. 505 for the (2) days. Out of Rebaska was fabulous and groomed awesome all the way back to the truck. The last part of 63 on the RR bed was marked very clear 30KM and 60KM. Police were out, be careful. When riding in areas of very close houses and serious posted limited we try really hard to go slow as to not cause the local clubs and neighbors any grief, got to remember that you are not in the bush sometimes. Tons of snow, snowing like mad, conditions up there are really nice. Edited February 14, 2017 by markusvt towing and Phil 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes 20mi plowed above Le Pensive and in bad need of grooming below! dooright and towing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
