From st Raymond to Le-TAPE, You must By Pass Le-Tape By 20 miles and back track on 369 to Gas up in La-Tape before heading north Again. That means you will be going South on 369 to reach Le-Tape.

Why?

Because they are building a new highway. and they had to detour the trail.

yeah if you miss that junction you will rin out of gas before you get to the mt. apica relay... Rideon1111 and me both ran out of gas at the same time, we had gone 110 miles and we started in St. Raymond. We ended up running out at the same time haha, but luckily we met some local backcountry riders who gave us some gas. We were 7 miles away from mt. apica relay. we ended up doing a 260 mile day just from trying to go from st. raymond to letape and then back to st. raymond!

Was just there this weekend, here is the real story

The intersection has changed, to get to the L Etape gas coming up 23 from St Raymond, you take a right hand turn on to 369 BEFORE you get to the Sepaq Relais. You go for a mile and there is a left hand turn that goes directly to the L Etape gas station.

It is just under 100 miles from the Roquement Hotel to the L Etape Esso Station. There is a new restaurant there that is very nice, better food selection than the old one. Gas is $1.21 a liter at L' Etape, they take credit cards.

The Sepaq Relis is STILL there sign on trail say $71.00

We rode 114 miles from Pont Rouge, Trail 3, to 304 to 369 to L Etape then is was 100 miles from L Etape trail 23 to 73 to Pont Rouge

Now that's a trail report, thanks!
