Style it!

After a great week in Ottawa (thanks to Diane and Brian for a great dinner and leaving me in pretty good shape) and Quebec City, it has been back to riding, riding and more riding.  The weather has been fantastic so that has been making things a bit easier.  I rode up the Gap tonight (a couple of times) and then went into Kananaskis Country and checked out Goat Creek Trail.  The route leaves Banff and goes right through the parking lot in the picture and continues on down the road.  The trails are starting to look good - another few days and the Goat Creek trail will be nice and dry.  Let's hope for continued warming - still lots of snow on the high passes.

Tonight - I dropped into the Reclaimer on my way down from the Gap.  It really brought back some great memories of building that trail with friends and especially of Peter.  We would build a section and Peter would be helping out and making great suggestions.  As always, he was our test pilot.  In retrospect, not a great plan as Peter could ride anything and make it look easy.  Needless to say - made it down the Reclaimer in one piece with great memories.  If you want to get stoked - here is my fave biking video.  Peter riding the Goblin - kind of like the Reclaimer but scarier and steeper.  I asked him about his lack of elbow pads - he forgot them. 
Style it!
