We all made it ok , but the signage over there is terrible ,getting gas and food was a run around , met a big group of sledders going around in circles also , I guess i should have paid attention in french class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was really only 1 way to go. It is a nice fast ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There now is a few signs to guide you , its when you cross over that the confusion begins , and yes the rail bed is fast but the 4 strokers eat that kind of trail up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I remember riding A105Q a couple of years ago and I don't recall seeing 1 OFSC trail sign and I questioned are we actually going the right way? But there was really only 1 way to go. It is a nice fast ride though. We rode from Cochrane into Quebec on Tuesday. Couldn't find gas in Dupius (although the map says there is gas available there) so had to ride to LaSarre for gas. The trail sign in Lasarre said it was 192 Km. to Cochrane. Signage isn't as good as it used to be a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey PLC we did find gas in Dupuis , it was just off the main trail the sign only said Garage , we went that way to ask the garage guy were to get gas and he was the station , the trail dissapears into a field and it looks like your on private property , I filled up mine own sled but the guy there wasnt big on this , Im glad I did as he spilled gas on the other sled , after going in a few more circles we found food in Lerenne , where you pay first then get your meal , I got some crappy poutine , packed up and went back to Cochrane for beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
