GT Rider Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 After fueling up we get on 35 East. We have perfect conditions. It looks like it has been just groomed. As we head east the sky turned gray. mccaffrey, PLAYHARD, MrGutz and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 We climbed up to the lookout and see the trees are not covered with snow like last year. It’s quite windy up here.

GT Rider Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Out of the lookout we hit the first choppy trail of the day. We passed the groomer a few miles out of town. We arrived at the hotel in Amqui and meet up with Jean-Guy, Linda and Joel. We enjoyed their company chatting about Quebec trails.

mikerider Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Great pictures, Jim. I think we are all excited to hear and see pictures tomorrow of the trail from Amqui to Moose Valley. There is very little reporting of this section. Hope you don't have the dense fog today that is hanging over RDL. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
