On 3/28 we finshed our 10 day saddlebag we totaled 2031 miles. That includes 1 day of repairs and 1/2 day of a slow 20 mph ride nursing a broken track.
That's a wrap for our impulsive March saddlebag. After the White Road being closed due to the Rain. We decided to do a saddlebag trip from Baie Comeau to the ontorio border. However we didnt quite make it but got super close. Just a 1/2 day's ride to ontorio..
I guess this was an official start/research of a border to border for the Quebec province from labrador to Ontario saddlebag that I'm planning for next year.lol
This was my longest saddlebag trip breaking my 1500 miles record.

Great trip met old and new friends. Russell in st felicien who helped me when my sled broke down a couple years ago. Also in that town and in Chibougamau i ran into my buddies James R. Bergeron and the Troy Powersports crew. True die hard riders! Then met the legendary beaver & Gary who ride 10k per year for a decade plus. Knows most inn owners etc. Funny guys! Then met Steven & Ellen. Steve also rides 10k per year. Great funny couple also extremely knowledgeable. Then martin relais 22 owner who is funny guy. He helped fixed a blown tunnel cooler with jd weld and a ripped track. And finally silveo the manager of olaf outfitters. That place was awesome! I highly recommend it.
Many good laughs. A break down of course but we manged to fix it barely. After calling 6 places looking for a track.
Then 100 mile bonus taking the wrong trail 45 miles the wrong way then going back to get gas out of our way. Making for a hundred bonus miles and a 315 mile day.
One of the Highlight comments was from Tom when we're looking at the map there was a long dead end Trail in the middle of nowhere and he said what idiots would ever take that trail. I spoke up and said us we did it last year!
