Anyone up for that? 7:52am start. But it looks fun…
Yah I’m in, just gotta put the logistics together I guess?
yah
We’ll talk Tuesday… You’re coming to the ride, right?
absolutely
I will be there, but unfortunately I can’t really help out with the logistics.
this race is sweet but so damn early.
Last year Gruber, Peter and I got up at 4 am and drove at about 150km/hr the whole way making it just in time to register and get to the start line.
It was a bit rough but saved us the cost of a hotel room.
I would be up for either staying friday night or the early morning. I just have to be back Saturday night.
are people thinking of renting a car?

I’m working until 9pm on friday, but wouldn’t mind leaving after that, plus maybe i can look into leaving earlier. We can also look into camping. That’s what i did when i went to pont-rouge with a friend. Right by the course.
camping next to the course sounds better than getting up at 4am… Isn’t the course is a Regional Park?
yeah, the race is right through a big park but I don’t think they have camping per se…don’t know how hard it would be to find a place and just pitch a tent. But if we don’t leave till 9:30 or 10 it might be tough stumbling around in the dark…4am wasn’t that bad you just gotta not get much sleep the night before so you can go to bed early on Friday haha. Besides, it is only one night
i’ll be going to the race and was thinking of renting a car. i’d probably rather leave Friday.
I work in St-Laurent and I finish at 6pm.
i am also interested. i have been mia for a while… i’m fighting off a nasty infection. i spent 11 hours in the er last night…
anyways, i guess i have some time to get my ass back into shape!
i would rather stay over friday night, it says on the site that they have a special rate, $94, at Quality Hotel, so we can probably pack a lot of people in one room and it wouldn’t be too expensive. we would prob have to book soon. also, apparently you had to register by today or pay $10 late fee. so, it would be $28+$10=$38. also, register by july 10th. we could rent a car??? or can someone score one off their parents (or their girlfriend’s mom…). i can leave on friday, i’m pretty sure i’m not working. so those are some details i’ve gotten off the site. i can also ask nick where hes staying (with his team) and see if there are any other options.
on the other hand, i’m not totally opposed to leaving at 4am.
lets try to get organized asap, cause this looks like it could be a fun weekend!
Sounds fun but pricey. it’s going to be a 150-200$ a head race. It’s also my couple’s 4th anniversary and that will cost me too. Not sure I can do it peeps. Still have that way overdue 130$ ambulance bill to pay (as if I don’t pay enough taxes as it is). I’m really POed, but realistically, I don’t think I can afford it.
I might be able to cut it if we don’t have to rent a car and a hotel room. Time’s running out, though.
Anyhow, I think it;s better to count me out for now.
Bummer
I won’t be able to cut my hours on friday, i’ve already had to call favors in to get off on saturday, but i’m still coming. I’m fine with leaving at 4am or on friday evening.
because victoria and i start 2 hours later than you boys, we’re going to rent a car and leave saturday morning at a less god-forsaken hour. so that’s our plan.
Jonathan, will you rent a car, though?
i can’t rent a car myself given i don’t have a licence.
Same here… Wanna bike there? LOL
My suggestion is we can try to ask around at the race tomorrow. Maybe one of Nick’s teammates will be happy to split the gas bill…
