Backcountry12 8 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Can someone please let be know where I can buy gas on this route? I know from experience not all the gas stations are marked on the FCMQ app all but it still feels better to know before leaving. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byrd 198 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Gas in Belleterre about 180 km Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowmaster2112 1,401 Report post Posted March 11, 2018 Also gas at Lac Truite (right on trail) about 25 miles before Belleterre. It's a pricey 2.50 a liter so just a splash to get you peace of mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The past few times we drove to Hotel Forestal to start our trips but thought we would save the extra 2 hour drive this time. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backcountry12 8 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 Has anyone started from the South end of 43? Coming from PA tonight and was planing to start from Le Classic but everyone is saying 63 has not been touched for a month due to groomer operator issues. Rapides-des-Joachims is the town name. Where do I park? Tried several of the motels today and no answer so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is an image of what I posted above. Surfacé means groomed. Btw le classic-domaine is groomed by a different club(Les Ours Blancs) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backcountry12 8 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 If its groomed from Le Domainie north and west its not far from Le Classic to Le Domaine. Several riders posted that it will give you a memory you don't want to remember. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
