Share your good Gaspe experiances! Thanx :

We will be coming from Ontario...

You don't need a tour guide if you have a reasonable amount of experience with planning and riding. There really are no herculean obstacles and just remember to be careful with gas stops.

I'm from the town of Gaspé,I know a few guy's that would probably guide you.When are you coming down??? dont forget my vforce!!!!! lol ill pick them up here haha.lots of nice scenery around here.hope the wheater is good.the almanach gives rain for this winter

Where did we leave that v-force deal at...? Thought you told me you could buy new ones cheaper?

Thought was a service out there that arranged all the lodging and helped out if you couldn't make your stop?

yes there is a service that does all that.I'll check that out for you and get some phone #'s.where exactly do you want to go and are you sledding down or driving a ways first by truck?

The sledding there is awesome, can't say the same for much else. - Bill

well I must say that we have everything we need here and everything we need to have fun.excellent restaurants,bars,bilingual service,friendly people............what more can a person want.we have races every week end. and by the way bill I know people that race with you and others that buy stuff from you that come from the same place I do

I've been there twice and always had great experiences with all of the people we encountered. It's not the place to go if you expect to find 5 star accomodations in every town but everyone was more than helpful.

I must admit the 5 star hotels are rare!!! lol there is the town of Gaspé and there is the gaspé coast(gaspesie) Im from Gaspé the town.in the last 2 years the town made a complete turn around.we now have a big factory that really helped the community and everything else.as for the rest of the coast it's all really small towns.the trails are usually very good unless we have a winter like last winter.the dozzers couldnt furnish!!!im sure any visit to Gaspé will be greatly appreciated

You contridicted yourself with the "bilingual service, friendly people" statement.

Gee,do I detect a little sarcasm in some of these posts?lol

Reminds me of when I used to truck and would end up in Montreal every couple of weeks... Back then with the separtist movement,the bilingual people (management) thought they were gonna rule the world and were very difficult... THe regular working frenchmen(whom I could NOT understand) were usually very helpful... I'll admit,the language barrier could be a problem...

Usually when were done for the day,a warm bed,cold whiskey and beer,and a hot shower is all that is needed....just looking for a change from northern Ontario....



Yes,we will be driving out to (hopefully) do the big loop!

what do you mean?????please explain

do you have an approximate date for your trip? I will try and get all the flyers and stuff for you...in english if possible lol

It was just a little joke about frenchman man. No big deal.

Did the loop last Feb with no reservations, no real plans. Great time, except the North Coast has a lot of snirt around Rimouski and the trails from around Cap Chat to Petit Valle were crap due to a broken groomer when we were there.
Other than that, Great riding. Tried a short cut at 7pm in snowstorm from Escuminac to Causapascal, don't recommend it. It was fun, but scared the crap out of my riding partners i think.

Check my vid on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlq_YTLHpoQ

I recommend the cabins by St. Madeleine...great folks, great food, pricey beverages, great views.

i'm working on a project right now,it will only be for next winter but I will have cabins and everything one would need.it will be located 2 minutes from the groomed trail and available to the quads in the summer also.my dad has a piece of land where the trail crosses on it.there will be promotions for all the dootalkers and more

hey dude... just bought a mach zx 2006.... you say you are from gaspe.... i konw a few people down there what's your name??

well one thing is for sure..it aint ford!!!! lol ill see you at christmas you dumb "edit for bad language"!!! ahahahahhahahahahahh I hope you're who I think you are

check out the new snow goer magazine.theres an article on the gaspé.its very good with lots of links

3 years straight..... we leave from hotel universale in riv de loups and do the clockwise tour, one time we crossed over at 'point a la croix or something and toured through new brunswick...
it is AWESOME>>>>>the best sledding, scenery, hospitable people, although the fuel quality at some of the remote stations may leave a bit to be desired...
the locals are very friendly and helpful, i will always include gaspe as one of my winter tours...
"only" a 7 hour drive from ottawa.... and worth it. you can be 2000ft above sea level, looking down on the st. lawrence or running through the awesome windmill farms in the mountains, matane, etc. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
