Phil 1 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Don't forget to stop at Mt. Aprica (the trailer relay) to top off. One of my favorite rides... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Anyone know what the distance is to the HI via 23???Chris Chris Figure 200 miles. Hope 23 is in good shape otherwise it will feel like 500. If you gas at L Etape no need to have to gas up Mont Apica. They trail has been changed, it's only 100 miles from L Etape to the HI. Watch for 383 off of 368 as it's a new change. Saves about 10 miles. 23 no longer runs on the east side of 175, that saved another 10 to 15 miles.

scorpionbowl Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 FYI, gas at Apica may be the most expensive in Quebec [and cash only], it's about $0.50 a liter more than L'Etape, but it's on the trail. L'Etape is about 5 miles off the trail. How Apica can be more than Chapelle or Repos is beyond me, and it's on a main road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSE800 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did that trip a few weeks ago, we left the HI at 7am and arrived at the Hotel Roqumont at 1pm. 200 miles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Lac Du Repos is not as isolated as it seems.It is located on a plowed road and is less than 60 miles from St Michel Des Saints.

Chapelle to me isn't bad considering its 40 miles from town and theres no power but Apica should be able to be filled from a regular tanker truck run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L'Etape is about 5 miles off the trail. How Apica can be more than Chapelle or Repos is beyond me, and it's on a main road. I was at Mont Apica on the last week of january and they sold me gas for $1.35/litre :wacko: ,quite pricy i found considering gas had been selling for $0.85/litre at that time but very convienent i might add. They also had debit and credit card service,this must be new,i paid my gas with a debit card. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arubenstein Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Anyone know what the distance is to the HI via 23???Chris I just did this a couple weeks ago. Figure 240 or so. For us (and it was 7 people) we left HI at 8:30 am and arrived Roquemont at 2:30. Trails were awesome. 23 was great. Had lunch at Mt. Apica. Tested my 800 REV's range, I made it from Mt. Apica to Roquemont on one tank, about 126 miles. I did run out of gas pulling the sled into the trailer, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkw Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hey, Chris... I would suggest not taking 368 if you are trying to make time. It is very smooth, but very winding and twisty. Less than 10 miles further to stay on 23 to 383. Plus better clubhouses... Gas top off 20 miles from HI if you need it... they also sell Doo oil!
