mikerider Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 He absolutely loves the new helmet. No problems with it. And he couldn't be any happier with his new 600R. He is now Ricky Racer and darn hard to keep up with! FarmerOld tried his other new 900 Enduro and found out he shouldn't have put the HD rear springs on his. After trying the spare and loving it, he is now like Mario Andretti after winning a race. He is grinning ear to ear. He is extremely pleased how the spare sled handles and rides. Note: I have moved to rm #554 in the new section. Very nice room. mike MrGutz and SnomoGary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Great to visit your office yesterday. Enjoy chatting and having some refreshments. It was good meeting GAF at the bar, and farmerold, Jack, and Sandy on the trail. Conditions in that area are awesome and will just get better. Hope we can meet again this winter somewhere along the way. RoadRunner, mikerider and PLAYHARD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It is time for Sandi and I to head south back to CT today. It is cold this morning -23C. We had a great time and great trails. The company was fantastic. Thanks Mike, FarmerOld, Jak, Rusty and all the folks we met on trail and in the hotel. SMclelan, Andy and their crew, Gaf and his crew it was great to see you. The forecast is back up to the 30 cm range for snow. Sunday may be a good day to get some R & R in the hotel. Until the next trip, ride safe and enjoy the beautiful trails in Quebec.

mikerider Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 SnowCrazed and I left the hotel this morning at -19 F, and it only got colder when we got into the higher elevations. The cold kept many people people home or may just short trips to the relais as the trails had very few sleds. When we ate in Squatec we were the only two sleds at the restaurant, very rare for a Saturday. Trails were mint. mike Pic inside the club house near Rimouski.

mikerider Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Shooter, Will check for you in the bar later. If you see me, I be the old man with blond hair and glasses. Headed to La Cage now for dinner. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Shooter, Sorry I missed you. Checked bar and you were not there at 8:30. La Cage was a zoo and took forever to get food. Maybe tomorrow AM. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCrazed Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 While my ask for warmer temps fell on deaf ears, the snow request worked and is being over delivered. Morning ride to breakfast and back. It's really starting to come down now. PLAYHARD and im4snow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi Jak,,,,,,,,,,,,, You left at the right time. Yesterday was brutally, brutally cold. Today was cold and very windy and snowy. We did half day ride, by noon was getting hard to get ski bite in the snow. Thinking we may be snowbound tomorrow. No sleds around on a Monday to break out the trails. They won't groom tonight, can't see in the blowing snow. You were here the good week. Drifts will be a huge problem. Your ride home okay?

mikerider Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Playhard, Riviere du Loup needs a traffic controller to keep track of sleds coming and going out to the Gaspe. Can be done from the hotel hot tub. You would be perfect during your recovery. We would pay at the bar. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Jak, maybe do a couple nights out and back. Could be a day or two before groomers get drifts busted down. It is a mess out there, cold and big drifts around the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
