I am planning on riding over Leaving Tues, July 10 in a.m., taking free shuttle through the Deas Island Tunnel and,staying until Thursday then riding back. I will go to UBC and Gastown as a spectator.
Anyone else either racing or considering going over? Gastown on Wednesday is the featured event with women at 5:45 pm and the men starting at 7:30.. This will be the highest level of bike racing we have seen in the Pacific Northwest in many years. It should be an exciting week. see,www.superweek.ca regards, pc
