Nunz Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 thats part of the fun, road trips Normally I love road trips but am still on blood thinners, shouldn't be sitting for more than a couple of hours at a time, I guess that gives me a reason to stop for a smoke break then....lol...at least that's the story I am sticking with...

02Sled Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Thanks guys, I will post pictures from there no worries.....the 12 hour drive I am dreading though... If I was young 12 hours behind the wheel would be no big deal. When I was in my 20's and looking back real foolish I drove to Orlando and back for a long weekend. Swapping drivers every 4 hours, 24 hours down and 24 hours back. Left on a Friday morning and got to Orlando Saturday morning for an all girl rodeo we had heard about. Back then that was my weekend sport and we couldn't turn it down. Watched the rodeo Saturday afternoon after a few hours of sleep then partied on the Saturday night with the competitors. A bit more sleep and set out for home early Sunday getting back just in time to go to work and drag our dog tired butts around all day. I said looking back I was foolish... I'll re-qualify that. In hindsight we must have been insane. Nunz... have a great trip and send pictures from trailside if you get the chance. We will all be imagining we are you.

You'd probably prefer to be drawn, quartered, and pissed on before visiting the dootalk site, but you might be interested in this recent post there - think it's the area you are heading for: http://www.dootalk.com/forums/topic/1199489-just-back-from-4-days-riding-in-escoumins-comments-on-900ace/ Photo credits to the original poster - likely you don't have a sign on - Print out pics - put on dash - or maybe you've got one of those fancy digital display things.....might make drive easier!

If I'm not mistaken the hand mirrors are not acceptable. It must be an attached mirror. Might be able to cheat and duct tape a hand mirror onto the sled though.

bunker Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just arrived back home from riding 3 days in this area. We had to stay in Chicoutimi and trailer up to the mountain each day to leave. Ended up putting on 430 miles to break in my new sled and can't say enough about good things about the area. Auberge 31 is a very happening place with sleds and the poutine is incredible there. Make sure you climb the highest mountain and watch the snow being made. Sorry, if I could figure out how to post some pics I would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
