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.
Guys guys guys this will be awesome. Thinking about taking Friday and going to Quebec city. Who would be down?
stoked! I saw some tall slender men walking around in cofidis team jackets, almost came my pants. Can only hope to run into someone on the road..
@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!
Can't wait to see them go up the Houde...
in the big ring...
i can't wait. turtle, i'm 95% sure that i will be going to quebec to watch, i'll let you know how we're getting there! most likely by bus, and maybe with a ride home. WOOHOO!
also, if anyone has some painting-on-the-road tips, they'd be appreciated. spray paint?
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 am possibly going to quebec for the race
If so I possibly have seats in my car

Were you inspired by Do The Right Thing?
brandon, i may take you up on that offer. how many seats?
never mind. i can't go.
Brandon, can I have a seat? I'm back in town this week.
is anybody meeting up to go to the montreal race? like is there going to be a big mcgill group on the houde to cheer and run w/ the riders every time? I'm totally down for something like that!
IM down
I'd be down for it. It'd be nice if we could bring a banner...
I'm in. I've got my Borat mankini ready.
I'm in!
we should all go and wear at least one piece of mcgill cycling apparel. makes finding each other easier!
wahoo, can't wait!
Only if we wear 'Shut up legs' tee shirts, the best kind of tee shirt.
where did you get Jens's T-shirts
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.

Wow, the way you guys talk about professional cyclists, you would think they were astronauts or something :P
Pete, they are much cooler than astronauts.
