Snowbound Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 My riding partner and I will be arriving in Shawinigan on the 14th and the heading out for 10 days the next morning. I am trying now to figure out a way where we could to stay at 100 lacs the 20th or 21st when passing through. Hope to see you there. It may depend on conditions in the Val d'or area as that would help us spread things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may depend on conditions in the Val d'or area as that would help us spread things out. Snowbound Great snow throughout that region. Trails good to excellent. You should have no problems getting there from Shawinigan. (or from Val d'Or via 83) Shortest way is 318 to St-Michelle, then TQ33 thru Manawan to TQ 13. About an hour to Cent Lacs from the 33/13 intersection. If you like to ride, that would be a good day's ride. I'm guessing 280 miles. Other choices would be to head up to La Tuque, then take TQ73 up to TQ 83. Take 83 west, thru Parent, and get on TQ 13 South just beyond Parent. That's a two day ride for most guys. Another would be to take TQ 63 out of Shawinigan, over to Mont Laurier. Jump on TQ13 north there. Hope to see you guys there. timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anyone know the aproximate mileage from 100 lacs to the Esteral? Depends whether you would go thru Ste-Agathe and try to screw around with TQ 43, trying to take 323 or 315 to get up to Mont Laurier, or to go thru St-Donat thru the Park, and take TQ 63 to ML. 43 has a few "missing links" this year with portions closed or re-routed I am told, and it might be a little squirrely that way. (Mid Range or one of the guys who rides that area might have more info on that). Going thru the Park, i'm guessing 260 miles. Cent Lacs is about 2 hours from Sainte-Anne du Lac. hope to see you. the attendee list is growing. should be a hoot. call Cent Lacs if you can make it. timbo ******* Anyone have any info on TQ 43, from Ste-Agathe over to Val-des-Bois?????

timbo Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just got a PM from three guys who want to come to the Gathering next week from Rapides -des-Joachims. They would be crossing over from Ontario. Anybody have recent info whether the trail from RDJ to Jonacas; and from Joncas thru the Verendrye to Louvencourt, is open????? thanks timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbound Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well my riding partner has an issue that is going to prevent us from going to the gathering now. We had planned to be leaving for Shawinigan this afternoon but that is not going to happen now. Unless someone else from Pennsylvania is leaving and has room for me or wants to share a ride up with me I will not be attending. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfarmer Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Good to meet all you guys.The rest of the trip went off without a hitch.Real masse' was a great place.I haven't been on 63 from the ranger station in the park to mt lauier in 3 years ,nice reroute.Andy i see from Bills post you made the Hi friday.Did you make 100 lacs to outback Jacks in one day?See you on the trails.By the way we had time to kill when we got to reals so we headed to St-come to view the bar dedancues but was told about half way there it was closed.I always thought that was one business that was recession proof.
