Carman Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) 5 of us are heading up Wednesday around 3, hoping to arrive at Hotel Forestel by 9ish; we plan to do day loops for 4 days in 4 different directions. Day 1 - Loop through Rouyn, La Sarre, Amos and back to Val d'Or. Where is the best place to stop for lunch? Day 2 - Out to Lac Faillon on Fiday for lunch/gas up and back. How is the 83 from Senneterre to Faillon, should we need to call to make sure they have gas and food? Day 3 - Down to La Verendry for lunch/gas and back. Is the trail passable, I see on iMotoneige that it is closed due to freezing rain? Day 4 - Up to Lebel-sur Quévillon for lunch/gas and back. Where is the best place to stop for lunch?

Byrd Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hotel eskers in Amos has good restaurant . Never had any trouble getting gas at Lacfailon . The trail down to laverendy is one of the best trails in Quebec be careful of the hills before the Indian reserve.

Pressiac has a decent restaurant right beside the gas pumps! BAYSVILLE RIDER and Carman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the first 1 you come to. Get ready to change your drawers if you come at it with any kind of speed. momojohnny and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carman Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 We arrived at Hotel Forestel at 1am, unloaded, met our friend for a couple of drinks before bed and told old sleddin stories until now. The plan for tomorrow is ride to Louvincort, Senneterre, Lac Faillon for lunch and back to Forestel. I will post some pics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Take some pics of the hills everyone is talking about. I have never seen this and curious how crazy it is. Sounds like a good spot to take a break and watch people fly over. momojohnny and Carman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore1066 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't like doing this but my boys say oh just squeeze the throttle and you will land softer. I have rode them hills a couple times and they can sneak up on you. Be aware and stay safe. Oh yea they're just as sneaky both ways.

We said if these were in NY they'd have a helipad right next to the first one. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
