You likely already seen this morning the trail into Perce was groomed last night if you are headed that way today Going to Perce today. Hope the trail has hold up. Thanks for the report.

GT Rider Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 We just bounced down the 7 mile trail to see the rock. Visibility is not good today. Gemma said TQ5 is rough then we got on the Perce trail and 5 is a dream. We are not whining just calling it like it is. We are happy to be here. Taal We were booked so I thought at the Caribou last night. Something went wrong with my internet reservation. We had to go to Gaspe to the Hotel Plante.

Ontariokid95 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 How are the trail conditions on the South shore? Quebec trails.com makes the whole gaspe not look to promising right now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 We are going to Chandler shortly. We have not been on the south shore yet. It has been snowing for 2 days. They will groom again. I just got the in between days. My luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quebec trails.com makes the whole gaspe not look to promising right now.. The trails are usually rated risky after a storm. We've been there and been out snowmobiling only to find out after the fact that they were "closed". They will be back in shape in a day or two.

GT Rider Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 TQ5 was decent from Perce to piston ally (597). From 597 to Hotel Fraser pretty bad. There is good snow on the trails they just need to be groomed. We went 152 miles today. It felt like 1152. We are going to Murdochville tomorrow via 595. Note the Multi Gas station on TQ5 was open in Gaspe. I read that it was closed. lindasledgirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I see they groomed the orange trail finally ( murdochville to la cache) daytripper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Js12ren Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 We rode from Perce to New Richmond today and at times I thought I would sell my sleds when I get home and do something else during the Winter. I'm hoping tomorrow there will be some trails worth riding but I'm afraid they may have parked the groomers till I load my sleds and go home. I have looked foreward to this trip for a long time and unfortunately the timing must be bad. I can ride trails like this much closer to home at a much cheaper rate. Oh well you win some and you lose some. MrsGTRider and GT Rider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check the FCMQ interactive map for real time grooming. I see that Mt St Pierre to Mt Louis was just groomed. It's 18f here in Chandler hope they get grooming.

mcstar Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 When I leave Amqui Monday morning i am just going to check the grooming report and go in that direction no matter where it goes, we have 5 days to ride does not mean we have to do the loop, as long as we ride decent trails , mid week looks like ANOTHER warm up again so that can mess up the plans!!

JohnnyB Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks GT. Have my eye on that. We ride Quebec a lot, first time this far east for a few of us. Five never been, 3 have lots of seat time here. Fourth trip to QC this season. All have been superb so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Are you where you want to be?" and "Make your plan as you go" i will however hang in Amqui for the weekend and then head up to one of my favourite places in Cap Monday morning. Stay a night then decide. I hope to see some friends and meet some new faces. Please say hi!
