PLAYHARD Season Opener!

Recommended Posts

Rode up here a day early to stage for a 4 day jaunt, and made the most of the reorientation. 

A little jump starting (red goes on red by the way), a little wardrobe coordination (sunshine boosts temps beyond sub zero layering's needs by the way), a little convalescent visiting (lazy kitters activity levels are contagious by the way).

A perfect day to knock off the cobwebs mentally & mechanically, and burn out the fudge that 2 yr old gaz can become, so we're ready for a proper official 1st day reentry ride tomorrow!

We took the old normal way out of Shawini Sud, and wound up on some goat paths that took us into a few backyards. "Bonus ride!"

Backtracked to Drakkar where we'd observed the only bit that resembled grooming southbound toward the gas.

Despite being off like a herd of turtles, we acquired the target mission destination! Ta da!

Pretty sure our fried brains appreciated this 24 miles as much as we would a north pole expedition!

Maybe the wood stove heat, maybe Shaggy setting the tone for chillaxing, surely the fine chatter, somehow the afternoon was gone, so we turned & rode back to HQ into an absolutely frickin awesome sunset (sorry we didn't get pics of the best of it).

And no, the restrictions did not hurt one bit.

And yes St Hubert's demi poulet and a hospitality shot of Sortilage (maple whisky) are vital components of sledding Quebec!

Glad to see  you knock the cobwebs off, looking forward to this week's report and pics!!

 

Ditto. Hope you guys have a blast. Everyone looks comfy at Chez Ice. Thats one furry feline there. Lost our beloved boy back in November. He went wayyyy to early. We miss him terribly. Last time we were in Shawinigan 3 yrs ago (???) there was so much snow you had to creep into intersections just to try and see around the snow banks.

Sorry about punking out on reporting tonight, lost track of time celebrating THE PERFECT DAY ONE and prepping to go bagging, but here's the gist...

Non-pet people won't get it, but we do for real. Then again, they're spared the pain of the losses.

Just be careful about volunteering at your local animal rescue, because you may wind up with more than you bargained for.

That Sortilage (maple whisky) is good ehh. I was taught many years ago the best way to drink it is fill a cup with snow and pour it in.

Yep, respectfully, ditto on losing track of time on reporting THE PERFECT DAY TWO

Sending huge kudos to QR's that post ride reports in real-time, and most humbly sharing bits n pieces here...
