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.
Where is Baie-Comeau?
About half way up the North shore of the St Lawerence.
https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.3078805,-68.2741809,9.25z
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 in the mornings at Tim Hortons

Go riding,
Options are
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.
If you even thinking about coming you need to reserve a room quickly,
MEM and Bob Collings have arranged a block booking at the Travellodge. which is near the Tim Hortons.
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 double beds, other rooms are available at slightly higher rates.
It's about 3km from Tim Hortons in the West to the Brew Pub in the East
Your other options are:
See you in June
