Twin600 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 We are looking into doing a trip into northern quebec. Anyone ever do TQ93 from LaDoré to Chibougamau and westward to Senneterre? Possibly taking TQ83 back towards Parent. The rest of our trip is straightforward, but these sections look very remote so i want to do my homework. What's the longest distance between gas stops? Anything we should be aware of? Thanks PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore1066 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Great ride north to chibougamau. Gas half way at the sawmill. Cash only tho. Chibougamau south is easy with gas too. Lots of flat open running. It's great PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyDoo Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Don’t forget your tall windshield and gauntlets. An extra layer is a good idea too. That railbed section mixed with -40 makes for some new memories if you don’t have those things. Ask me how I know.

Note there is one hill north of La Dore that you can go a long way in the air before touch down. Don't know where it is exactly but I do remember it.

Kinda weird overheating in deep freeze? Hi revs & no lube = no bueno motor & slides! SkippyDoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Don’t miss the sawmill and be prepared to look for someone to open up pump for you! It’s a great run in both directions from Chibougamau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX800 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Last year on the rail bed section the trail was routed off the rail bed for what seemed about 50% of it. It was actually better that way. The bed gets a little monotonous after about an hour...and it always seems like the coldest day of the trip coincides with it. It may be different this winter and your back on it. I think it depends on the location of forestry work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your referring to the run from Chapais down to Lebel-sur-Quévillon then yes it is routed back and forth into the woods a lot again this year. Some sections have a lot of the puckers sticking up and you WILL get marks on your machine. Maybe that will get better as the trail gets more use/traffic. Ironic thing is we saw NO forestry work being done anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
