    Not sure what your planning to do? are you just riding to Montréal & back? or are you asking about riding around the province?

    I haven't actually been to Montréal since my college days (don't ask my age) 30+ years ago. ( why party in local venues in Plattsburg when Montréal is just down the road )

    there are plenty of gas stations in eastern townships, but riding there is pretty boring (twistyness wise) everythinh is on rectangular layout. Gaspé peninsula is nice.... gas stations can be faarr in between. (at least ones that are open) also nice riding is north of quebéc city, thru laurentian mountains, to Lac St. Jean, and then south to La Tuque and along the St Maurice river , again, some stretches with not many gas stations 125 miles apart or more.

    I have been to Chibougamau also a long time ago, the roads were gravel at the time, I understand they are paved now.
    I haven't had a chance to ride much in a northwesterly direction from Montréal yet, but the little time I have spent there tells me that that is where quebéc province's best riding is

    I use credit card as much as possible, when you get bill it will be corrected for exchange rate, if I am going to canada for more than just an unplanned 3 hour jaunt, I try to get some canadian cash from a local bank. radar detectors are a BIG no no. have proper proof of insurance yada yada yada... you will be in a ferin country and don't think that your constitutional rights extend across the border if you are too much of a hooligan

    way there

    If you're riding up through NE cut up VT and crisscross to the border on backroads (I went from Stowe up 15?? 16??..all the way, stick by the water), they rule, headup through the "Gardens of Quebec" region toward Lake Magog and then head west to Montreal... awesome roads everywhere..
