Just arrived in Bannf after two days of very solid driving; Canada is a big place. Meet up was Megan and Thomas (from the NZO) in the Bannf YMCA. All very friendly and it is always nice to meet some more racers from the same side of the world!
After checking in I headed over to Cannmore to do a lap of the coarse. Everything the other bloggers have been saying is true; this is one tough trail. There is a lot of climbing most of it is just plain long and hard work but some is also technical and steep. Worst of all, most of the descending is either over rooty trails or straight down loose shial fire roads. I predict they'll be plenty of offs. Hopefully, "I'll get see the carnage rather than being the carnage" so to speak.
I've tried to capture a few snaps to give some idea of the trails, not great but...

Bet you wish you packed the trance instead.
May be the racing slug would have been a good for about 15% of the route but with the monster climbs the new bike aces it. Also it's suprisingly workable on the downs.
