mikerider Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 The suspense rises. Will it be wolves and boobs like the last trip, or something totally new? (Hopefully he is back at the RodeWay Inn). PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I wish more boobs (or fine Canadian milfs) but rather just fine trails and NO ONE AGAIN. Today started out just like I thought it might. All fresh groomed into Chibougamau with the exception of a single track that was heading south into Chapais. ( early bird gets the worm) Weather was crappy here this a.m. and I didn’t get out till almost 10 No one in Chapais moves around here until at least 8 a.m. and then very slowly.. Here is coming out of Chapais this a.m. heading north on fresh groomed and 3 inches of cream cheese on top PLAYHARD and mikerider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ok ....the other single track is gone now so I head to depanneur in Chibougamau to gas up. PLAYHARD and Pipeman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 As I’m at the depaanneur inside de icing my helmet from the bullshit freezing rain here today I nice older fellow asks me where I’m heading and I say Mistissini. He replies I just got back yesterday morning from grooming that.i thanked him and we chatted for several minutes. He says first time in three years it’s been open due to logging. As I’m weaving out of town to where that trail heads north I’m crossing my fingers no body has been on it. Could it really be ???? No, no way.....then BAM.....

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 So for the next 50 miles I hammered trail like this.Formula One trail here for sure. Ice you ain’t kidding about that being a nice stretch. reminds me of the run in between Kanawata & Casey. Only problem on the way to Mistissini was the constant scraping I had to do with the glove on the visor every minute (at super hi speed no less).other than that crap it was as good of conditions and trail as ANY I have ever ridden. Got to the Depanneur in town to gas up and then hit the Auberge Mistissinni for a fine club sandwich & fries. Sitting there at 2:30 thinking if this icing shit continues I’m screwed. As I start leaving town I notice.....no more icing but light snowing.......SWEET. Here coming into town...... MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Rode back to Chibougamau and chuckled at my track in the other direction it’s a rare opportunity (especially on hi speed trail like this):to be able to see and analyze your own track and riding style and how you reacted at certain corners for such a long distance. I’m pleased to announce the vast majority of the time I was dead locked right side and hardly ever did my ski overlap with the previous direction. And it was far from all straight like this pick.

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 So in conclusion I have not crossed another sled head on to where I would have to hand signal since leaving south of Senneterre yesterday morning some 370 miles ago. I did see four guys come through an intersection in Chibougamau but I was sitting there with my sled off. Here heading back towards Chapais tonight. People had obviously been on the trail while I was up north today and I could see the activity in town was picking up for locals weekend riding. Got to figure out what I’m gonna do tomorrow MrGutz and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Lots of local sledding activity picking up in town here tonight and Chibougamau even more so cause we are now at the weekend of a holiday week. Think I’m gonna check the grooming report at 6 a.m. and be ready to jump on right then. By noon tomorrow I should break 1000 miles on the new sled this year and I’m still 225 miles from the truck. Will be a new record for me with this many miles (all very high quality no less) before New Years nyskidooerinnewhampshire, Rodmax and MrGutz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Here’s one for all you “thrill seekers” .....tell your wives they still have time to enter. Isabelle from the Hotel Opemiska here in Chapais is joining her best friend (also from Chapais) to go enter a 10 day 2500km desert race in the Sahara desert in Morocco. It is not a who’s the fastest but who gets to the end by the shortest passage. They are allowed NO gps of anykind. It cost 25,000 to enter this two women only per team (I think 118 teams). It costs another 25000 in expenses like getting there and renting a special Jeep.They have been doing fund raisers for 2 years and have reached their goal with much of the support coming from the local Chapais community. She said it’s really hot over there in the day and really cold at night. Her biggest concern is they have to wear a helmet at all times. i wish her well and will be following the race along on the internet come March MrGutz, PLAYHARD and mikerider 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’m thinking I’m going to Mistissini again today for another club sandwich gonna leave Chapais here a lot earlier than yesterday which should let me beat any Saturday morning trail traffic around Chibougamau and get north where I will have more time to chit chat with the locals there to learn more about the area. stay tuned......

snowmaster2112 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Just made myself 3 nice sunny side up’s as I said earlier I have the entire top floor of the Opemiska to myself for the last two days. You really can’t beat this place. quebec bob and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
