2018RENAGADEXRS850 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 We are looking to one last ride next week in PQ. Any ideas where the conditions would be best? Or is this season over? Appreciate your suggestions! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2018RENAGADEXRS850 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Thank you where would you suggest we start from? Auberge KM31 looks good. Can we do loops from there or is saddlebagging best? Edited March 19, 2022 by 2018RENAGADEXRS850 PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the mild weather forcast, I would only do loops so you aren't a far distance from your trailer if trails all of a sudden close. Hope you have ski wheels because the streets, gas stations and some roads will be bare no doubt. Good luck.

2018RENAGADEXRS850 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Ok thank you! We don’t have ski wheels and booked KM 31 for 3 nights for our last ride. If anyone could post their experience of there stay here it would be greatly appreciated. What are the trails like in this area. We heard it’s best to avoid on the weekends so plan to trailer home on Saturday. PLAYHARD and Snohorse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Naturally, weekend congestion rules apply 3x, as area options become more limited. Stay somewhere that'll hold your truck/trailer keys, in case you want them to hire someone to come retrieve you. We're looking at riding out of Riviere du Loop for a Gaspésie loop, and St Felician for Pacman'ing up & over Lac St Jean (but don't go telling anybody). 14-Day forecasts courtesy of Iceman Productions Ltd... https://www.meteomedia.com/ca/tendance-meteo-14-jours/quebec/saint-felicien https://www.meteomedia.com/ca/tendance-meteo-14-jours/quebec/matane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quebec bob Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just got in from a week on the Gaspe… RDL is black top now… tons and I mean tons in the mountains… very best place to launch from… LaCache… I know it sounds crazy… but it very true…. I will do a trip report Sunday… it was a last minute decision for me when I was offered a pick up at my shop from a friend in NYC…12 hour ride in a storm to get there… epic trip… maybe best ever… some places in the mountains were drifted 20 ft high… there’s lots of snow up there… just have to get there… Murdochville is also a good spot to start PLAYHARD and Florida Snowman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampsledder Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Got back from a week in Quebec Wednesday. Started at the Roquemont and rode up to the Delta, over to KM31 and back TQ 3 and the Richelieu. Probably 4 feet of snow along the trails. No dirt on the trails. Even Quebec City had good coverage. The season is still going strong there. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard it’s best to avoid on the weekends so plan to trailer home on Saturday. KM31 is basic but a favorite of ours because of the location. The food is good. We rode 93 to Sacre Couer-great trail. The Pelchat Trail is recommended if the weather is good. I wouldn’t do it in a storm. The local trail to Onatchiway is usually good but we didn’t get up there last week. Generally, the local trails are great. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a older gentleman named Bill at the Toronto snowmobile show a few years ago that was endorsing this property. He was not French but from Maine if I remember correctly.I will check to see the trail conditions maybe that would be a great starting point. Ty again for all the information here!

Fuse6 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 In Mont Joli now. Just finished up our 5 day loop in the Gaspe. Riding Tuesday until today, Saturday. Conditions were excellent everywhere. Went counter clockwise so they had time to groom things back into shape after major storm last Saturday and Sunday. A ton snow here. Looking at the present forecast there should be another two weeks of riding here. 2018RENAGADEXRS850, dooright and PLAYHARD 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also found the Mont Joesph lookout just north of the Carleton clubhouse. Beautiful spot don’t ever hear mentioned.

blackjack1 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 my dilema is how long will they tipically keep the faith.as next weeks temp,look more condusive for grooming than this up-coming week?1700 miles of blacktop is a hard way to find out when they are going to toss in the towel.it is typical for them to go to the end of march im sure as there is definately the snow cover. Ive have cold feet on this one,!!!! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaffrey Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just got back from four day trip up in Lac St Jon, and Mt Valin area. Stayed in Lac Bouchette our last night, truck was in Matawin, checking Thursday night noticed Trail CLOSED from La Tuque to Matawin, we had to add 70 miles to our run before our four hour ride home, not a big deal the trails were very good. Watch the trail reports, that gave us time to go to plan B to get back to the truck. I don't know what the heck they are going to do with all the snow they have. Easter in Mt Valin, sound pretty good! Stay Safe 800steve, PLAYHARD, dooright and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
