longriderss Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Shane, Just got back from doing the Gaspe. What a trip!!!!!!!! 1800 miles in 7 days, and we did stop to sight see. The last portion of TQ5 out on the north east tip was closed and people who went that way had to ride the road to get down to the town of Gaspe before the trail was open. A boat load of snow. 8-10 foot snow drifts last monday on the trail from the 90km per hour winds. As of Wednesday the groomer was having issues as the snow was half way up the front of the windshield as it was trying to get down the trail. Hopefully they have broken it through at this point. Best trip ever. Planning to go back again next year and see what we couldn't due to the heavy blowing snow. We started in Columbia, NH last Saturday the 9th and arrived back last Friday the 15th. Have a great trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great trip. I was planning on staying at Motel Adams in Gaspe next week. How far was the ride on the road? Was it marked? Thanks for the info.

smclelan Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Usually the trail brings you to the Gas Station on the edge of the bay. You scoot across the bay and then it is only 200ft on the road to the parking lot of the Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
