MatheiuG has started discussing team/rider (non) selection, but I wanted to formally invite all of you to attend the first Protour race in North America (after the Quebec city one).

Here you can see the city's commitment to this race as they  re-pave pretty much every stretch of road on the course.  The race will come down and to the right before looping around to the start/finish line before coming back through this shot heading up to the left for the 2km climb of the Camilien-Houde

This is the lookout on the Camillien-Houde right where the climb kicks up to ~12% about 500m from the top.  After tackling another short climb they will fly down Chemin Cote Ste Catherine (seen in the first pic) before tackling the uphill drag in front of the statue George-Etienne Cartier Statue.

After the race I will (depending on my work schedule) guide or direct the out-of towners, and locals to the best poutine place in Montreal.  Where they serve over 25 varieties of heart-stopping goodness and a nice variety of local beers.
