The official thread for one of the most popular races of the year. This is the last opportunity to race in Quebec before a large percentage of the team goes home. The race consists of a 10km circuit, raced 5 times for the women, 8 times for Sn. 3, and 10 times for senior 1-2. I know it seems logically impossible that it be always super super windy, but I’d actually take 10 to 1 odds that there will be 20km/h winds at least. The course is pancake flat in farm country, with mostly decent asphalt. Full details here
The best part, it’s less than an hour drive away. You don’t have to wake up super early; you don’t have to sleep on a couch. You won’t even loose that much study time.
If you’re interested (which you should be), sign up and you’ll get an email on monday or tuesday. I will be asking for 100% commitments by Wednesday at midnight so that I can organize rentals.
Jonathan, this would mean there are hurricanes cat.4 or tornadoes cat.2 each year for this race.
Hurricanes are more likely though, since the tornadoes would not be big enough to provoke wind all over the race loop, except if it’s following the pelotons which is very unlikely to happen.
