bigquotesThere's also a positive side of the current travel ban: I get to ride my bike at home and finally find out what trails we have in Graubünden! I love them! And why not share that with you like back in the good old days when I did the course previews at the World Cups! More to come!—Claudio Caluori

 If Claudio thinks he's riding like a grandma, what does that make me? By that metric, I ride like someone who's been dead for a century.

 @Grantma Wait...did he say he was riding like you? I think you need to respond and challenge him to some timed runs on Cam's Slope-duro course.

 @DRomy: You ride as much as you have time for, give yourself more credit.

 He would have been faster if he wasn't a vegan. Yup, makes sense.

 I think it might be some velosolution promo... Too casual find a gorgerous perfectly bermed and packed track like that... dunno I am conspiracionists?

 @PauRexs: I don't know if they built it, but definitely worth a visit -> www.flimslaax.com/en/outdoor-activities/biking/runcatrail

 @PauRexs: It's the runca trail in flims. Was built a couple years back, might have been velosolutions. The trail is sooo much fun and with lift access in the summer. And it's about 3 times as long as shown in the video, but he rode the most fun part.

 @paulvonperth: Oh yeah! Just give you the need to go out ride, and I'm stuck at work...

 @wolfsberg: i think the lower part was built in 2006 or 2007 for the RedBull Trailfox. Built or partly built by Hans Rey (so many changes during the years).

 I feel like he was making fun of us Canadians "eh"? I don't know how I feel aboot that, it's kinda almost offensive, eh. It's okay though, he probably didn't mean it and I don't want to start a fight. Sorry... eh.

 Nice looking XC trail, It would be great if we didnt have to bring in material to cover the trails with but then they would just all get hammered too quickly.
We are lucky and have low traffic volume on all the non man made stuff up here so can ride natural 99% of the time.

 Might not be popular with all, but could do with a bit to dry some of them out, though (eg Aberfoyle - I struggle there when I'm back in Scotland).

 @Niseach1: You are right, who likes puddles and water on your their expensive bikes...

I remember back in the day when we just rode through puddles and there wasnt a trail team to fix them and build bigger berms...

I recall racing and the park rats turning up with their dry tyres on in the wet and complaining it was too hard and that the track should be changed. Those with wet weather tyres on didnt have an issue.

Neg prop away rats Wink haha
