RDL 2022 Season


RoadRunner

Recommended Posts

Some our gang headed north yesterday, unloaded in Lac Etchemin area in the Chaudierre region, just North of Jackman Me, and rode to the Universal-in RDL for the night.  They logged in 180 miles of good solid, flat going. One of the members got the random rest again and it will be picked up at the universal today as they are saddlebagging. Another member pcr tested on Dec 23, got a positive result back on the 25th...Merry Christmas😜,..... and will not make this run but is feeling good health wise.
 

 Also he is happy with the fact that with a positive test, after 10 days, soon the change to 7, he will be ok to pass the border without testing for the next 6 months!

The boys also like the beer vending machine at the Universal!
 
To summarize, these guys are saddlebag riding for,the week  just as many others are posting on QR now! it just a bit different, lets hope restrictions stay the same or get easier thru this season.

How did they make out with the bar and restaurant at the Universal?  Are they still on restricted hours and days?

I do not know for sure, but they did talk last night about a beer from the vending machine and than going to get a bite to eat.  Not sure if that was at the restaurant on site or downtown. 
 

Back country and Early rider saddlebagged today from RDL thru squatec and amqui and are in Matane tonight.  Should-have a trail report tonight.

The boys had a good run to Matane, 240 miles via the route they took. Sm , They did confirm  Monday night the restaurant was open but not the bar at the Universal. Last night at the Quality inn in Matane they were given paperwork and an id to get into the restaurant there. They are heading east  into the Gaspe today.

Great Report RoadRunner when U saddlebag when you enter the border do you have to let them know your itinerary for the week each place you’re going to stay you can’t change it up?? Thank you

Yeti, we talked of giving them the first night destination, as thats where you will need to do the random test if you get it.  After that they will contact you via cell or email with test results. Nobody will care unless you throw a positive on the random test.  We are still wondering how thats going to work if you do?😜

The boys made a nice run into the Gaspe yesterday, leaving Matane and ending up in Chandler last night via Murdochillle.  They reported good going and snow conditions with a note that some of the sealevel villages along the north shore had just enough snow to pass. Once back up into the elevations, they were into great going again.

The boys had a big run yesterday from Chandler to Edmunston NB via Moose Valley. Dinner at Moose valley than a 45 mile run into Edmunston capped off their 380 mile day.  With Quebec shutting down indoor dining today, it may be just a matter of time before the Borders are tightened.  The boys also reported some resistance from people concerned that they were travelers from the US.
Which, with the way our society is today, probably not totally unexpected.

 

The single shot Johnson vaccine card was not well accepted as proof of vaccination at many stops.  So note that , for anyone who has not been boosted. 
 

The boys are headed for the truck in Lac Etchemin today.  A 1400 mile plus or minus loop.  
 

Happy New Years

Did they take the shuttle at Campellton to cross into NB or ride up to Amqui and then take the trail south down to Moose Valley. 380 miles is a big day. Wish l was there for the run.

Fuse, They went to Amqui, than rode the trail towards Moose Valley from Quebec.  We have ridden the Moose Valley area several times and have a couple of ways to get down from Quebec in addition to the marked trial, they used the trail part of the way from Amqui than some unmarked trails into Moose Valley.  Than the NB trail down to Edmunston from Moose Valley.  They had a big day for sure!

I am envious. Can't believe how good the conditions are in this low snow year.  Have fun.

Hopefully when you get to New Brunswick they have inside dining.

Andyman was through to Moose Valley a couple days ago, they have inside dining.
