Saguenay and North Shore of St Lawrence

I'm trying to get some time off in August to go for a road trip - probably between Aug 12-20 and maybe the whole 9 days if things line up.

Ideally the trip would be at least 6 days long and head along the north shore of the St. Lawrence to the Saguenay region. If I have the time, I would go over to the end of the 138 and/or up to Manic Cinq, but we'll see how much time is available. Maybe spend a day off the bike and do a whale watching boat trip out of Tadoussac. Nothing fixed right now other than must ride lots of good roads.

If you've ridden with me before the pace will be a bit more relaxed, but still fun. There will be a few longer days but I'm trying to keep most of them to around 8-10hrs each, with time to get off the bike and take in the scenery. I'm not fixed on any routes yet, but would like to avoid Montreal/QC and take a slightly more northern route there & back from the GTA. I already know a lot of good roads, because I've helped others plan out road trips to this area and they have told me the routes were amazing.

Haven't decided on tenting vs motelling yet either or where to spend each night, but am open to whatever.

No intentional gravel, because I'm on a street bike with street tires.

Anyone up for a road trip?

Would love to go but timing is not right.

Enjoy the trip and report back.
 
Let me check my rotation schedule.

Would really enjoy it, but my rotation has me back to work on the 16th
 
My wife just said she can get the time off work and wants to come on this trip 2up, which would make the pace much slower - i.e. very close to the speed limit, so not sure if this would be fun for anyone anymore. It would also mean much shorter riding days and more time exploring off the bike.

She hasn't been on the back of a bike for a long trip in a few years, so she might change her mind after we do a test ride on the new bike in the coming week or two.
 
Tempted...not sure what those dates look like yet.

Sounds like it would be a really enjoyable trip for your wife and you. Do you really want anyone else tagging along?

Haha - yeah if she comes with me then it'll be just the two of us.

However when we go for a shakedown ride this week and if she isn't comfortable on the FZ1, then it's back to the original plan like the first post.

You didn’t try hard enough, go back and ask her again 😂😂

Lol:)
no she's amazing and said she would do something else with me later so I could ride the twisty roads properly on this trip.
So I have up to 9 days again if that's what it takes.
 
I'd be up for it, I got a lot of vacation days I need to use up and can take a week off in August.
