La Dore club south of the mill says gas avaiable at mill but trail not groomed until Jan 15 due to forestry work. http://lesloupsdunord.com

Thanks for the info guys. How about the Confort Inn just past Canadian Tire and La Cage Sports Bar. Although they do not seem to advertise on maps or have a sign anywhere. Wonder if the trail even goes to it? I think La Cage had a sign so maybe just skip down the side walk to the Comfort Inn?

Seems very few lodging options in town. Hotel Universal trail access? Last year, dark, arrived in town late, took a right just off the #23 trail that seemed to be marked for the Universal. Very narrow goat path into a residential housing area. Seemed to be a couple miles long, never made it to the Hotel Universal. Any intel from fellow riders? Thanks

Thanks for putting together another great local snow show. Helps get us into another riding season. Nice to meet finally you guys and share some stories and tips. Hope to see you on the trails.

A very warm welcome and thanks for all your hard work to all the Tamarac crew. We absolutley love the Tamarac. Feels like home everytime we visit. Maybe we can get up this Fall for a VTT ride before sled season. See you soon.

Markusvt and his crew just stayed at Trout Lake Lodge just south of Belleterre on the 63 trail. I think his report is in the Abitibi forum.

Thanks guys. Looking to change our usual trail selections this year. Good info from all the riders as usual.

PlayHard: the local trail you speak of between 386 and 83 is between Lac-Simon and Louvicourt? Did you notice if gas in Louvicourt? Thanks

Yes, just across the street. It may even be 24 hours.

Yes, there is at least two gas stations in Barraute. One is very well marked with a sign and the other is a small station just off the trail, can see it just down the main road. This will save you having to go into town at Senneterre and then back track if heading West.

TTT - nice old school 4 stroke

Thanks for the updates in the region of Clova. You have a very nice little place for us to stay when passing through your area. It was very nice to meet you last winter. Clean, warm, great food, bar with pool table and a nice barn to put our sleds in at night. Hope to see you again this season.
