Calabogie, Canada

I had the chance to ride this track this past weekend with Team Promotion, and I can't even describe how amazing it is. It was designed by Alan Wilson (Barber, Miller, BeavRun, etc..), and it opened last fall. It's 3.1 miles, has 20 turns, crazy elevation changes, and it's 40' wide all the way around. It took me 7 hours to get there from Allentown, PA. And it was sooooo worth the drive. It's about as close to heaven as I think I'll ever get.

Any chance CCS will ever get some of the Canadian tracks on the schedule? They are all pretty epic, and I'd love the chance to race up there.

To bad you are slow

If by slow you mean, "never had my lower back and ass run over after throwing it away in turn one at Nelson", then yes, yes I am.

Canadian Rockies is a good climate for the Yeti species.

How far North, eh? North of Shannonville?

The track was put in last year. It opened last October. It's 2 hours from the norder crossing at 1,000 lakes NY.
And yes, it is a pefrect climate for a Yeti.

Cold as shit at night, toasty warm during the day.

Whats a noder crossing? Is that where Yeti's get rapped by Sasqutach?
Are the French Canadians cool with a Yeti on the track or do you have to wear a full body hair net so you don't shed at 150mph?

A noder crossing is where the narcoleptics cross into Canada. And yes, I was required to wear a full body hair net. Thanks for rubbing salt in the wounds.......bastard.
