FIRE242 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Rode with Fabio from Ville-Marie to Val-d’Or, Val-d’Or to La Sarre and La Sarre back to Ville-Marie. Riding was fantastic and trails were in great shape for the most part. Snow depth around VM is definitely less than other areas we rode but your not riding in snirt. Snow depth even increased once we hit 63 east towards Belleterre. Stayed on 63 almost to Belleterre and took a local trail north to La Force on trail 309. Trail was okay but we did hit a couple water spots and a stuck groomer. Snow depth was there but it’s early season. 309 from La Force was good into Val-d’Or. Snow depth definitely increased north of Rapid Sept. All other trails we were on were good. 83 west to 307 from Val-d’Or. 307 north to Amos. 93 west to La Sarre. 93 south to Rouyn-Noranda. 83 south to 303. 303 south to 63 back to Ville-Marie. There is logging on 303 for about 7 kms north of the dam in Angliers. Hopefully this helps everyone on the free weekend. Enjoy the trails. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD forgot to mention that the rubber was missing on the steel grates at Rapid Sept. Hopefully that’s addressed before you go if you use the 309.

How was the section? It was okay today. It had snowed a few inches and they must not work on the weekend so it wasn’t plowed off. There was another area north of that don’t remember if it was on the 303 or 83. They’re logging you pass through it but trail isn’t used as a road.

There’s a Crevier Gaz in Winneway which is about 16km north of La Force. According to the App which we always found to be accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rode from Temiscaming, then ate lunch and fueled up in Belleterre, and rode right to Valdor no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
