A group of us are planning our first Quebec trip. I'm wondering if we have planned too much distance between stops. It is as follows:

DAY 1 - Temiscaming to Val-d'Or -324 km
DAY 2 - Val-d'Or - Matagami - 342km
DAY 3 - Matagami - Rouyn-Nornanda - 381km
DAY 4 - Rouyn-Nornanda - Temiscaming - 243km

Five sledders are going and we would like to be in town by 5 pm or so each night.

Are these trials relatively fast? Any other suggestions / must see night entertainment??

Opinions much appreciated.

I rode Abitibi trails few times.Trails in that neck of the woods are flat and relatively fast.Your distances are OK.

As for night entertainment.....you got the red light in Val d'Or.

Matagami:Pretty quiet over there.

Thanks for the info. Anything exciting in Rouyn-Noranda at night?

Rouyn-Noranda is large city with lots of entertainment options. Trails into town is good, well marked - easy access to hotels.

Add another day to your trip and do the Gaspe pennisula. You wont regret it.

Wrong side of the province.

Each day you will have NO problem, you can leave late and get in early with the trails you will be on.
Have fun!!

Oh ya I forgot to ask....Can I come too
