Kelly's Comments:
I used the GU20 Sports Drink (Lemon Lime flavour).It tastes great and works well to keep
you hydrated, keeping those all important electrolytes in you. |

| TRAIL |
CONDITION |
| Reclaimer Trail (Canmore) |
Wicked trail just off the Spray Lakes Road that
was built by IMBA Canada. Lot's of bermed corners, twisty, swoopy
singletrack that can be done on an XC bike. Ryan Draper, local Canmore hot
dogger does this trail in full XC spandex etc. and drops many a DH rider
I've been told. This trail was in amazing shape even with all the rain we've
had. I highly suggest hitting this one when doing any riding around the
Nordic Center. |
| Canmore Nordic Center |
Lots of construction and trail maintenance going on
here to the already amazing trails. Conditions were pretty dry, with just a few puddles and
muddy spots. |
| Jewel Pass |
Did this one again and it holds up well due to great soil and
drainage - just a few puddles and muddy spots. |
| Baldy Pass |
Dry as a dry rib up top with some tricky, slick roots and rocks
on the way down. No standing water, just a few mountain goats at the
bottom - they were friendly though. I love those goats and their vibe! |
Kelly's Comments:
Had a rad day, ate some bagels and had some javas at Rocky Mountain Bagel
Co. before coming home to Bowness. Thanks to Mike and Jeff for meeting me
for the ride! |

Kelly's Comments:
My tire of choice right now is the Maxxis Crossmark UST 2.1 - this is a very
fast rolling tire that corners amazingly well. It's a 2.1 but has a nice
stable feel to it, but isn't great under braking when used as a rear tire.
Not great in the mud but a wicked dry conditions hard- packed tire. |
