Looking to due the Gaspesie/or Southeastern Quebec this coming week.

Looks like good trails and weather.

Anyone going that direction???
 
Just came back from St. Zenon. Plenty of fresh snow, conditions are near perfect, couldn't get enough of riding. Too bad I had to tow my Buddy's F-7 in!!!

I just got back from St. Zenon also! They got over a foot of snow while I was there (Real Masse) And the conditions are a 10 on a scale of 10 ;)!
 
You're making me drool! I'd love to go back but would need a bit more notice. A buddy + I did it after you and I talked about trying to make the TY Ride, SnoRover. That was 3 wks ago but there were areas that were pretty low on snow around Rimouski/Mt Joli (it was all blown off of those long stretches of fields - just dirt) and also we heard enroute that it was sketchy out around the tip so took 595 that cuts across (NW-SE) and it was very good. The border along NB was very good. Hopefully, it has only improved since.

:ORC I would caution EVERYONE that because of all the tour groups operating there now, reservations are highly recommended for most of the Gaspe' these days- especially in Feb. (I am someone who does not usually make ANY) We got into New Richmond and had to scramble to find a bed for the night there. Again, there were probably 60 sleds parked in front as a result of a couple of groups and that was the problem.

If you take 595, gas is very limited after you commit. The 'cache' on 595 is a small pair of buildings that has no electricity but runs on a generator and has gas, food and a few rooms. It is pretty 'rustic' but is in the middle of a long barren stretch w/o any services and is a pretty welcome sight.

P.S. Wish people would realize St Zeon is nowhere close to the Gaspe'. Other side of the St Lawrence and many miles/kms!
 
Don't keep telling everyone how great the Gaspe is or we will have an even harder time finding rooms.HaHa. St. Zenon is the best. Everyone should only ride there.
