Relaxing in Canmore, New Cycling Skins

Over the last few days we have been relaxing and taking in the sights. This is a view from a tee at the local golf course here in Canmore.


George and i went on a little hike. It followed a dried up river.



Went through a moss covered forest.


Past unusual landscapes.


Then arrived at a canyon that was a rock climbers paradise.





Along the way we dropped in on some local Bears, unfortunately they weren't home.




Today i was able to try out the new Long Bib cycling knicks from skins. This was my first use of these and i am impressed. They fit perfectly and you can really feel the compression, this feels empowering making my legs like coiled springs.


Practice today was done with Willo. The course was also different today as it had rained overnight making the technical sections very tricky and slipery. We were also lucky to see a Bear cub run across the track in front of us on the lower section of track. This is the bike after one lap of the course.

I went out the other morning just to test my Nightlightning lights. No problem all charging well.
