I lived in Vermont near the Canadian border for a couple of years, then in BC for about 5 years. One big difference with the roads in Canada is poor maintenance, as in potholes! A friend of mine (an RCMP member) complained bitterly about hitting a huge pothole and destroying some tires. Don't expect signs or other indications that there are bad potholes ahead. If riding motorcycles, use appropriate caution.

Specific roads to avoid etc... -Curt Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:42:58 -0600 From: "R A Bennell" <b...@mts.net> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Driving Quebec?

I seem to remember somebody on the list being from Quebec but does anybody have experience driving around that province? A friend and I are thinking of taking a motorcycle trip this fall up into Quebec, specifically from central MA up through Vermont to Valcourt to see the Bombardier Museum, then to Quebec City, then around the top of Maine for a day or two at my camp and back home. Figure to make a 7 day trip out of it and travel something like 1000 miles. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=winchendon,+ma&daddr=valcou rt,+qc,+canada+to:quebec+city+qc+to:car ibou,+maine+to:winchendon,+ma&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&rtol=0,1,2,3&sll=45.2439 53,-70.235596&sspn=5.275545,9.799805&ie =UTF8&ll=45.073521,-70.147705&spn=5.291326,9.799805&z=7 I'm curious about the roads, we've played with setting Google to "avoid highways" and it adds a surprisingly small amount of time...
