600IQHO Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Arrived at RDL Saturday afternoon. Went for a short spin about 40 miles. Got back to the Universel and it was like deja vu. Just like our last trip there is Eddieskidoo & Skidoo420. Man these guys get around. Day 1 Looks like a good riding day. Not to cold and blue skies. 5-548-5-579-587-5 to PALC. Trails ranged from near perfect to just ok. Lots of traffic today. We did find the mummies & radar. Good day overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

600IQHO Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Day 2 I Will start by giving a BIG thumbs up to the owners of Gite La Maison Verde B&B. They are wonderful family who open their home to complete strangers. I recommend this place. Located on trail 5 at PALC. Today 5-595-local Chic Chocs trail to Murdochville. Arrived at the Copper just before 4pm with 215 miles on the GPS. Trail 5 was good with a little light snow on the trail. 595 & local trail a little choppy from drifts and corners a little chopped up.

600IQHO Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 And I spotted two more for Team Iceman today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600IQHO Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Day3 Windy! Couple inches of fresh snow overnight. Drifts not as bad as I thought it would be. 597 south to trail 5. Groomed overnight and we made first tracks most of the way. This section was sweet. Trail 5 to the local to Perce was terrible. After that trail 5 to. Gaspe and River Renard was good. Pulled in at the Caribou. Short day in by 3. 188 Miles Not a perfect day. A long fast down hill straight almost got the best of me when it suddenly turned left. I made it, Sharon no such luck. She found out what happens when you grab to much brake. She did a 180 and laid it down going backwards. She is ok. Bruised a rib and her pride.

600IQHO Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 And some good news. We did a 162 mile run from Murdochville and stopped for gas at Gaspe. I had almost 3 gallons left. Love these 900's. And some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYHARD Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yupper! Four of us at Jack's/Copper in Murdochville tonight. We must have crossed since we started from the Adams in Gaspé this morning. When we got halfway down the local to Roland in Percé and decided that we were indeed spoiled rotten and turned away from those whoops that made the Louie in Valin seem flat. But the 5 and 597 up from Grand Rivière were OH YEAH BABY!! Tomorrow we take the Chic Choc over thru La Cache then down the other orange to Carlton. Those stickers do turn up in interesting places...

600IQHO Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Day 4 Left for Matane this morning. Light snow overnight. Not far out the sun came out. Few big drifts early then good the rest of the day. When we got in the mountains dark clouds and snow again. Bad picture day. Lunch at St Anne's des mints. Trails the rest of the way. Smooth and fast. At the Quality Inn at Matane. 268 Miles for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYHARD Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 We started the Chic Choc trail today from Murdochville to La Cache with a few inches of fresh and it became more like a foot by the time we got south on the 595 (Chic Choc is marked as a green on the local map, not orange). Just awesome. Mix of sunny & snowy over here like you said. Now @ Baie Bleu Carlton south shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
