Haha. I had been avoiding talking about that trip but will give you the short story long version.
4 of us drove 1100kms to Riviere du Loup a couple of weeks ago. Perfect drive all the way. Made it to Hotel Universal at 4pm on the Monday.
Our plan was to ride to Pointe A La Croix on Tuesday (380kms) and then have 4 easy 250kms days.
Unfortunately a couple of guys on the trip were a little excited and smashed their sleds up on Day 1. The 1st incident just caused cosmetic damage but the sled could still finish the trip albeit with some serious battlescars on it. About 5kms later my buddy yard saled his brand new 900XRS after hitting an icy ridge left on the trail from the groomer. His sled suffered trip ending damage and unfortunately, our trip was over. He got CAA to take his sled to Amqui the next day where he rented a truck and took the sled back to RDL. The rest of us rode back to Rimouski where he met us with the truck and trailer around 10pm that night. We loaded up on Thursday am and headed home with our tails between our legs.
Bummer as there was a lot of time/work involved with organizing a trip like this.

We jave a place booked for a week. 3k, fuel and oil will be 1k for 3 sleds. Meals will be 1k, and truck fuel 200. Not bad for a weeks worth of riding, a nice place to stay and covering three of us. Way better than sitting at anisland resort trying to drink enough watered down booze to make it worththe cost
@Arctic JC can you share the details of that heated grip setup for your son? I was planning on making a set for my daughter.
The aftermarket companies want wayyy too much money for theirs lol
