February 19, 200917 yr comment_7360 Don't forget to stop at Mt. Aprica (the trailer relay) to top off. One of my favorite rides... :) Report
February 19, 200917 yr comment_7361 Anyone know what the distance is to the HI via 23???Chris Chris Figure 200 miles. Hope 23 is in good shape otherwise it will feel like 500. If you gas at L Etape no need to have to gas up Mont Apica. They trail has been changed, it's only 100 miles from L Etape to the HI. Watch for 383 off of 368 as it's a new change. Saves about 10 miles. 23 no longer runs on the east side of 175, that saved another 10 to 15 miles. Report

You taking us on the Claremont express next week???? Last time we took 23 from the HI it felt like 1000 miles. 3' whoops the whole way. I though my machine was going to break in half!!!! Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_7365 FYI, gas at Apica may be the most expensive in Quebec [and cash only], it's about $0.50 a liter more than L'Etape, but it's on the trail. L'Etape is about 5 miles off the trail. How Apica can be more than Chapelle or Repos is beyond me, and it's on a main road. Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_7366 Did that trip a few weeks ago, we left the HI at 7am and arrived at the Hotel Roqumont at 1pm. 200 miles.... Report

L'Etape is about 5 miles off the trail. How Apica can be more than Chapelle or Repos is beyond me, and it's on a main road. Actually Lac Du Repos is not as isolated as it seems.It is located on a plowed road and is less than 60 miles from St Michel Des Saints. Report

Chapelle to me isn't bad considering its 40 miles from town and theres no power but Apica should be able to be filled from a regular tanker truck run Report

L'Etape is about 5 miles off the trail. How Apica can be more than Chapelle or Repos is beyond me, and it's on a main road. I was at Mont Apica on the last week of january and they sold me gas for $1.35/litre :wacko: ,quite pricy i found considering gas had been selling for $0.85/litre at that time but very convienent i might add. They also had debit and credit card service,this must be new,i paid my gas with a debit card. JG Report

February 20, 200917 yr comment_7376 6 hours, are you guys stopping for a card game somewhere? Just kidding, that's about right. You're riding 2 up right? Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_7377 6 hours, are you guys stopping for a card game somewhere? Just kidding, that's about right. You're riding 2 up right? We usually take about 2 hours for lunch, so 4 hours on the machine. Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_7380 That's what I was thinkin............gotta get out of Letape quicker. It's easier now that there isn't an upstairs.... Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_7383 We stopped at Apica and had breakfeast and put in a few gallons of gas and then stopped in L'Etape and filled up before pressing on to St Raymond. Report

February 23, 200917 yr comment_7417 Anyone know what the distance is to the HI via 23???Chris I just did this a couple weeks ago. Figure 240 or so. For us (and it was 7 people) we left HI at 8:30 am and arrived Roquemont at 2:30. Trails were awesome. 23 was great. Had lunch at Mt. Apica. Tested my 800 REV's range, I made it from Mt. Apica to Roquemont on one tank, about 126 miles. I did run out of gas pulling the sled into the trailer, heh. Report
February 25, 200917 yr comment_7449 Hey, Chris... I would suggest not taking 368 if you are trying to make time. It is very smooth, but very winding and twisty. Less than 10 miles further to stay on 23 to 383. Plus better clubhouses... Gas top off 20 miles from HI if you need it... they also sell Doo oil! GW Report
Anyone know what the distance is to the HI via 23???
