Im hoping it survives the warm up. I want one more trip. Dont think i've noticed a warming shelter just east of la force on 309. I dont see it on the map either. How far east?

When in Louvicourt last week did you stay with friends,or at the Royal ? Thanks ...
At the Royal it’s ok but the rooms are not the cleanest the restaurant and bar is the same just ok . The price is reasonable you get what you pay for . Saying that we are staying next week on our way to Chibougmau it’s ok for one night but certainly wouldn’t stage from there . My wife says she’s not staying there again lol

I’ve stayed at the Comfort Inn also it’s a nice place but like you say quite a bit of road running to get to .

Most seem to stay at Hotel Forestel.....right on the trail, great food too and a nice place as well.
Forestel is a great location and very nice but the restaurant has really went down hill and it’s expensive. The rooms are very nice but also have gotten expensive.

We headed out from Matagami this am in -24c temps.
We stopped at a warm up cabin part way up and hung out for a bit.
Got gas and snacks in Matagami and started to work our way south.
As an FYI, the hotel in Matagami looks to be almost completed.
After a lunch at a warm up shack(s) we headed south to Amos.
Fun fact. An 850 E-tec and a 900R run out of gas within a couple of feet of each other. Luckily I made it to the gas station and knew there was a problem when the other guys didn’t show up. I ended up BUYING a gas can and taking 10L to both of my buddies.
We made it to Amos and our rooms at the Amosphere. The hotel part is still good but the restaurant has gone downhill in the last couple of years.
Did you get gas at this station we always stop there it’s about 25 Kms north of Amos. Last year we got gas there and all 3 850s took around 35 litres but we did have our gas caddy with us lol

2 days riding so far. Letang to rouyan yesterday. Was all very very good. Our group hasn't done that and we all agreed it didn't seem like a rail bed. Royan and la Cage. Met 2 buddy s there so now we are 12. Today atmosphere for lunch for 12 and 10 return to rouyan. Having supper at la Cage. Trails are all really good. We are hitting enough rocks here and there though. Snow is fairly loose. Just not a lot of base. Got stopped yesterday and today by police. Trail patrol also checked us. So 3 times . Enforcement seems to be more then I have ever seen
Sounds like a fantastic ride so far . The snow is definitely better across 93 towards Amos the deepest snow was to the east of Val-dor

I was talking to a buddy about that area recently. Ride out of Karl’s at Searchmont and head for Wawa (with fuel of course) or come from east and drop in Chapleau and ride west. I could spend several days just exploring in that area. Would also like to go back to Dubreiville, have been twice but a lifetime of trails and area to explore out of there.
Dubreiville is probably my favourite area in Ontario to ride

Gadgetman we will be a week ahead of you assuming there is snow by then for a Gaspe trip.
Leaving home February 15 driving to Mont Joli. Will ride 6 days in the Gaspe. Not doing the loop would normally do with the trail closures but will make the best of it.
When done the Gaspe week we are driving the two hours from Mont Joli to Edmunston to start a 6 day loop in NB.These are the same 2 trips we had planned then cancelled last year due to the poor snow conditions.
Have you ridden the 595N trail? If not l would suggest running down the 595 from the north shore for about 20km. That will take you through the Chic Choc mountains and one of the most scenic trails in the Gaspe. Then turn around and ride back up to the north shore and carry on .
595 is one of my favourite trails

Awesome plan. You are covering a lot of very nice riding. good to have the availability of going across 83 in your pocket if you needed to use it.
For sure hopefully the snows good and we don’t need it
