Xterra Canada Bike course

As the sun crested over the mountains this morning I was hoping the temperature would go up!  Roy and I headed to the Nordic Center to scout the bike course.  The course consist of two 10 km loops.  A short 2 km from the swim on the first lap for a total of 22 km.  this bike course is awesome, through cross country bike course with some climbs and nice swooping descent.  A few technical descent to add to the mix makes it for a great ride.  Plenty of space for passing and with a hill named EKG you know the gold old heart will be working.  The marking was great and it was easy to find the course.  I'm always amazed how well Roy descends, former down hill MTb racer, he makes it look easy.  This course definetly suites a dual suspension bike better but I will survive with hard tail.  In all this has the making of a great race, let's hope it all comes together on race.  Happy trail!

Carpe Diem
