Grimmer 5 Report post Posted January 7 (edited) Hey guys, Any idea why this section is still showing closed? Hoping to do a loop up and around on the 17th of Jan this year. By far my favorite side of the loop. Especially stopping in Lebel-Sur-Quevillion for lunch! UPDATE 01/06.....looks like grooming started from Matagami south this am. Hopefully this opens up.

PLAYHARD 2,238 Report post Posted January 8 Grooming Delay shows top half just done. Trail Conditions shows red the whole leg. That's why I usually wait for mid/late January! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sledfarmer 1 Report post Posted January 15 Just a heads up , The gas station in St Dominique is no longer there , we stopped there in March of last year and a local said no more gas . And no we did not make it to Amos , ran out of gas 5 miles before town. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Florida Snowman 500 Report post Posted January 16 This is why carrying extra fuel is extremely prudent. If not for yourself maybe you can help your partner or someone else that’s in need. I won’t ride without it. 1 PLAYHARD reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
