If you're not getting ridiculously excited about this, there is something wrong with you...

I think the Quebec race will be insane also. Have you guys seen the course out there. It's on Tiny Tiny Roads.. with cobbles.

@John: I'm interested, but I might also still be out in Quebec city myself then - I'll know end of next week.

I've ridden a good part of the GP Quebec course, it'll be interesting for sure. Those are some tight roads. At least they didn't route it down the most super tight, super steep, blind corners going down the escarpment from the fortress to the water!

I'd go with Chalk. Spray paint is probably considered "vandalism"

Never mind, I will not be going to Quebec on the 9th. I have a court date. For a garbage-can related offence.

I'll be there with my camera. I'll also want to cover the descent on the UDM side, and why not the climb there too.
