After everyone is done with “tryouts” in the morning (9am at the gates! Be there!), a very fun thing to do is go and ride with the world tour riders as the preview the course before racing the GP Montreal on Sunday.
Typically they start showing up a little after noon and teams come and go all the way to 4pm or so.
So after tryouts go home and get a bite to eat, and then go lurk around the base of Houde in order to jump on the wheels of Hesjedal and Andy Shleck as they spin easily and you try not to let them hear you breating hard… It’s a blast!
