Day 9 to Jonquiere,

   Short ride today. Warm and mostly cloudy, a little freezing mist in morning. The first 60km of the 93 hadn't been groomed since last snow. 1st 10km out of coronet  bumpy, but after that where it turns into wide road, was ok.

    Some info on the coronet, for those who have never stopped, we've been stopping for years. The rooms are very small and not at all fancy but..... for $155, 2 people can get a room with very simple table d' hote dinner and breakfast,  and the 155 includes tax, tips and out the door. They also have a sled lockup, road gas and a little store.

    Now back to the ride. After the 1st 60km all the trails were green right to the Delta. Aside from alot of traffic in the mtns it was perfect. After probably seeing 20 sleds in the last 3 days, seeing  50 plus in an hour was a shock.

   Not much traffic around town but we came in around noon and I assume everyone was out riding. We stopped for lunch at Subway, got gas, and headed to the Delta. Road crossings a little wet, wheels an asset at gas stations.

Day 10 to Q city,   Last night visited with Bill & JD (always nice) and met a couple of QRs new to us, nice evening.

    This morning, alot of sleds in corral and we unlocked the gate. I wanted to get a decent start so we would make it to mt apica before the crowds. Today is saturday. My plan worked. Everything from the front door of the Delta to mt apica had been groomed overnight and was perfect.

   We got gas and some soup and when we left the sleds were piling in. Heading south the trail was rough till la cache, then it got better, but by now there had already been much traffic. Stopping to take pics we saw a steady flow of traffic from both directions. In QC the 3 must have been groomed overnight and was still good although soft. Road crossings weren't great. Full house here tonight at 4 points. Many trucks and trailers, but has dwindled since 2 weeks ago.

 Tomorrow I will post on Bas St-Laurent
