The Nordic Centre


The 24hr World Championships are being held at the Nordic Centre here in Canmore and today both my tour guides took me riding around this venue. It does have some cool trails. I am hoping this year they avoid the ridiculously rooty trails and give us some smooth fast flowy stuff!

Ride 1 was with Darren Freeman(pictured) who has been a local in Canmore for over 10 years after moving from Port Macquarie. He took me on some awesome trails both in and around the Nordic Centre. I'm keen to head back again tomorrow. Bring on the sunshine!

Ride 2 was a shop ride with Rebound Cycles. These guys took us straight up to the Nordic Centre and took us around another sweet loop. I think I was enjoying it a little too much and have been applying ice all night as a result. Hopefully the leg will be fine for a big day tomorrow. I might even try and sneak into a roadie training session on the mtb...
