Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls...
We are going try something a little different this year for CFR as getting to Baie-Comeau will be as much fun as being there.
Thursday June 20th to Sunday June 23rd..
Where is Baie-Comeau?
About half way up the North shore of the St Lawerence.
https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.3078805, ... 1809,9.25z
Why would I even want to go there?
Quebec Route 389 Baie-Comeau to the Manic 5 Hydro dam (213Km of paved twisties) also Manic 5 is quite the dam.
So what is this about having fun getting there.

The Plan.
Meet into morning at Tim Hortons
https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Tim+Ho ... 68.1910725
Go riding,
Options are
389 North,
138 East along the coast, (there is still about 500 km to the end)

South via a ferry to Gaspe
Meet in the evening at the Brew pub (also lot of other bars and restaurants in the area).

Accommodations.
This is the tricky piece as Baie-Comeau is a very popular destination and there are no available hotel block bookings available.
If you even thinking about coming you need to reserve a room quickly, if you go through Booking.com or another website booking you don't have to commit when making a reservation.
It's about 3km from Tim Hortons in the West to the Brew Pub in the East
Your Closest Options are:
Travelodge, near Tim Hortons - There are 30 rooms blocked off, ask for Maxime..discounted room rate $109.00/night
The Travelodge hotel 418-296-9686 has kindly blocked off 30 rooms for us until the end of April
Call and ask for Maxime, quote CFR 2019..
The room rate is $109.00/night for a room with a double bed....other rooms are available at slightly higher rates.
Motel du Rosier, 500m West of Tim Hortons
Hotel Caravelle, half way between Tim's and the Brew Pub
Le Grand Hôtel, near the brew pub
Hôtel Le Manoir, about 300 m east of the Brew Pub
Further West (~2km)
