New Brunswick follow up to Slomo Reports

Recommended Posts

We travelled to NB this year and spend 5 days riding the north part of the province. Anyone interested Google Northern Odessy.

The picture below gives you some idea of how much riding is there.

Many of you have ridden the Gaspe and will recognize the top loop from my Spot3 tracker. The Gaspe loop was 1,660 km, 4.5 days of riding starting and finishing from Mont Joli which we did in 2017.

 

Bottom loop is this winter NB trip covering 1,920 km. There is some overlap on this trip. Travelling out to the ocean on the east side was a there and back same trail. Bit in the centre that was run twice on different day loops.

 

Most trails in NB are fast. But majority are always winding and up and down as NB is hilly. Average speed would be comparable to the western Quebec trails around Val'Dor but much more interesting due to the topography and winding through the hills. You have to be engaged when riding fast not just sitting there holding throttle open waiting for. The Big Bang. 

 

As Slomo stated there is no speed limit in NB. The message was use common sense. Common sense said you could cruise lots of the trails at high speeds. Our first day of riding was Sunday, we hit some rough trail that day being Sunday and they had a good snowfall on Friday so things weren't groomed perfect. After that we rode another 4 days averaging 400 km a day and never saw a bump.

 

If I only had a choice of one place it would be the Gaspe, can't beat the scenery but we will go back to NB every few years for the great riding.

Just a follow up to Fuse6's follow up - for the riders who like to saddle bag, here is a link to a very informative New Brunswick tour story by Motoneiges Magazine - routes, accomodations, pictures -

Looks like they paid their own way on the trip - unlike some others.
