Grimmer Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 (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. Edited January 7, 2020 by Grimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYHARD Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledfarmer Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch Banger Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 That sucks.....was a great place for lunch as well as fuel. Just like Ontario small town gas going away. Amos Fuel to Matagami 192 km 120 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Snowman Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 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. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack1 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 And that my friend tom is why i was so delited to see my 1.5 gallons of premiem 91 octane fuel on the rear of your new sled.🤣 Gives that peace of mind when i'm chasing you cross country...😏......
