carman80 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 We are planning a 2 week trip starting and ending from Mont Laurier area March 9th - 24th(16 days total; 2 travel days and 14 days of riding). The plan is to ride 300-500km/day and just cover as much of Quebec trails as possible. The entire trip should be around 5,000km and include Gaspe and Sept-iles. We plan on picking our route and making arrangement for accommodations every morning while eating breakfast(weather, grooming activity and conditions dependant). We have done many planned saddle bag trips in Northern Ontario and Quebec where route, gas, food and accommodations have all been pre-planned and booked but we have always wanted to try an ‘on the fly’ style trip. Looking for input from experienced Quebec riders and hopefully someone that has done this ‘on the fly’ style trip before. Carm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 We did a smaller version of that twice I think with no issues....abitibi region once and out towards mont tremblant once. It was amazing the hospitality we encountered when rolling into small towns with not bookings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
