800R MXZ X Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Looking for some input on trips people have taken, we will be riding for 8 days on North Shore (2/7-2/15). Looking for a safe starting point for the truck and one that allows us to go the farthest east, would like to make it to at least Saint-Pierre Also do we need to book rooms ahead of time or just go? Not sure how much lodging there is in this area? Thanks in advance . Edited January 23, 2020 by 800R MXZ X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgrah Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 We started last March in Todoussac stayed a the hostel left trailer there for the week. Address is 158 Rue du Bateau its a red building right as you leave the ferry. We went all the way to Havre Sait Pierre. We did not book ahead as there are plenty of places to say in Baie Comeau and Sept Iles. Very cool place to ride no traffic lucky to see a trapper or two that's about it.

Trailblazer Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Tadoussac/Baie Comeau...…..Baie Comeau/Sept Isles...…..Sept Isles/Havre St. Pierre 3 days up and 3 days back all very doable, if you want to add on a bonus ride you could ride to the end of the 3 in Baie Johan Beetz and back to Havre for an extra day. Good luck and tell us how it went. dooright and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff , Trailblazer, Iceman, Roadrunner and others, We are planning to go to Sept-iles for sure in a few weeks. We may have time to continue on to Havre Saint Pierre. Assuming good weather is the ride to HSP a great ride vs turning around at Sept-iles and spending a couple days around Mont Valin?
