Hey dudes,

So there's a 95% chance I'll be living/working at the Delta Lodge at Kananaskis (1 hour west of Calgary) for 15 months starting this May. I currently live in Toronto, so I'm pretty excited. A few questions:

What's the riding like around Kananaskis? Calgary? Good road riding? Mountain trails? Or just pansy paved trails?

If there are legit mountain trails, can my Jake the Snake handle them ('cross bike)?

Regardless, I need to replace my cassette and probably my front 2 chain rings (compact), not to mention my RD. What gearing combinations would you recommend?

thanks in advance for the help, dudes. If there are any riders out near the Kananaskis area, I'll be looking for riding buddies while I'm out there! Throw me a line!
